18 Wheeler Accidents
Serious Injuries & Death

People who drive for a living (18 Wheelers, cab drivers, bus
drivers), must rely on having a clean driving record in order
to maintain their license, and for their company to be able to
afford having them on their auto-insurance plan.  If they have
too many
trucking accidents, they lose their job.  This is
important to know, because it is one of the main motivating
factors in commercial drivers lying about how an accident
happened.  They don't want to be fired.  They have bills to
pay.  

If you are involved in an accident with an 18-Wheeler or other
commercial vehicle, the company they work for will usually
send investigators to the scene to photograph and take
notes about how the accident happened.  They are not on
your side, they are on the company's side.  Their goal is to
avoid being responsible, and they will take notes, pictures,
and investigate in order to meet that goal.  

You must protect yourself if you are involved in an accident
with a commercial vehicle.  Get witness information.  Take
pictures.  Insist on the police to make a report.  Call an
ambulance if anyone is hurt.  Do not discuss the accident
with the company representatives.  Only talk to the police
officer, witnesses, and other driver to make sure he is ok.  
Take notes of any admissions the other driver may make
(such as admitting he was at fault or was distracted).  Let
the police know if you think the other driver is under the
influence of alcohol or drugs.  

After you leave the scene, and have received medical care
for any injuries, contact a lawyer immediately.  You will need
someone to fight for you.

We charge a contingency fee in personal injury cases, which
means that you pay nothing up front.  The attorney only gets
paid a percentage of what he recovers.  So if the attorney
cannot recover, he does not get paid.
