These and other issues result in accidents, and it’s your legal right to seek out a Tempe, AZ truck accident lawyer. Call SL Chapman Trial Lawyers today to see if you’re eligible for compensation.
Tempe, AZ Truck Accident Lawyer
Any automobile collision can be fatal, but the chances significantly increase when a big rig or an 18-wheeler is involved. These massive vehicles can cause fatal damage to cars and the passengers and drivers inside. It’s not uncommon for someone to be rushed to the hospital after an encounter with a large semi-truck. Generally, the worse the injuries are, the more time is needed for the case.
Besides trucking accidents being more prone to cause injuries, there’s also the issue of proving liability. In a normal car crash, usually the driver and their insurance company are the ones to be held at fault, but this isn’t always the case for trucking accidents. The driver might be held liable, especially if the evidence supports situations like negligent or reckless driving.
However, depending on the situation, instead of the driver being held at fault, their company might be held liable. Should the driver be a government employee, then the government might be held liable. Trucking companies and government entities often have more experienced attorneys. Their attorneys may aggressively force a victim to accept a lower offer or drop their case altogether, but our team knows how to overcome these tactics. To date, we’ve secured over $700 million in damages for victims and their families.
