Nationally, thousands of people are killed or injured each year in collisions with tractor-trailer trucks. Unfortunately, truck accidents cause many deaths and serious injuries in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, or to residents of Pennsylvania and New Jersey in another state.

Complex Lawsuits

Lawsuits involving semi-trucks can be very complex because there are usually large companies and many parties involved in the case, including the trucking company, the truck driver, the trucking contractor and the truck owner. In addition to multiple parties, there are usually multiple insurance companies involved as well. There may be legal issues involving workers’ compensation and handling an out-of-state accident. The situation may be further complicated by factors such as equipment malfunctions, overloading, brake and tire maintenance, trucking regulations, and appropriate markings and protective devices on the truck. Many times, a complete reconstruction of the accident must be conducted quickly in order to determine all of the factors and responsible parties involved. The Pearce Law Firm is experienced in handling truck accident claims in Pennsylvania and we are prepared to act quickly on your behalf.

Beware

Most importantly, large trucking companies have sophisticated insurance carriers and experienced truck accident lawyers working on their side. Their aim is to give you as little money as possible. That’s why you need an experienced truck accident lawyer like Edith Pearce working for you.

Compensation

Damages that a truck accident victim and the victim's family are entitled to recover may include: hospital and medical expenses; past and future lost earnings; past and future permanent physical disability, such as a limp, scars, loss of a limb; emotional distress, such as depression and anxiety; grief and emotional suffering caused by the death of a loved one; loss of love and companionship caused by the death of a loved one; damage or destruction of property; physical pain and suffering; loss of enjoyment of life.

To protect your legal rights following catastrophic injury or death due to a truck accident, it is wise to consult a personal injury law firm with experience in truck accident lawsuits as soon as possible. Within the first week, important physical evidence can be lost, and witnesses may become hard to find.
