Compensation for Truck Accident Victims
Understanding the Unique Challenges of Truck Accidents
Truck accidents are significantly different from car accidents. They often result in more severe injuries or fatalities and require a specialized approach to investigation and compensation. Having an attorney experienced in truck accident cases is critical to achieving a favorable outcome.
The personal injury lawyers at West Valley Accident Attorneys understand the unique complexities of truck accidents and the profound impact they have on victims and their families. We provide compassionate, personalized service while aggressively pursuing maximum compensation for our clients’ losses and long-term needs.
Our Arizona law firm, with offices in Goodyear and Surprise, handles truck injury and wrongful death cases across Maricopa County, Greater Phoenix, and throughout Arizona. Call us at (602) 834-0673 for a free consultation.
Thorough Investigations for Trucking Accidents
Truck accidents require prompt and detailed investigations. Trucking companies and their insurers often dispatch experts immediately to limit their liability. At West Valley Accident Attorneys, we counter these efforts with sophisticated investigations of our own, utilizing accident reconstruction specialists and other experts to establish the cause of the crash. Common factors include:
- Truck driver fatigue (exceeding legal hours of operation)
- Driver error (speeding, tailgating, unsafe lane changes, failure to yield)
- Maintenance issues (worn brakes, bald tires, defective lights)
- Improper freight loading (overweight trucks, unsecured cargo)
- Negligent hiring or inadequate training
We handle truck accident cases across major Arizona trucking corridors, including Interstate 10, I-17, I-8, State Route 85, U.S. Route 60, and U.S. 95. We also represent victims in crashes involving delivery trucks, dump trucks, garbage trucks, buses, and other commercial vehicles on local roads and highways.
Committed to Your Recovery
We are dedicated to providing compassionate, personalized attention to our clients. In truck accident cases, we collaborate with clients and their doctors to fully understand the extent of injuries and determine the compensation required to achieve justice. We stand up to trucking companies and insurance providers to demand full compensation for:
- Future surgeries or long-term care
- Loss of income
- Permanent disabilities or disfigurement
- Pain and suffering
