Investigation into Why
Semi Truck Flipped Over onto Car

Once our accident lawyers are hired for a serious injury or wrongful death case, we begin an independent investigation. There are many questions that need to be answered including the following:

When the semi trailer flipped over or rolled over, was it caused entirely by speeding or going too fast for turning left?
Was the accident related to a distracted semi truck driver (texting, eating, talking on a cell phone, looking for something)?
At the time the trailer flipped over, was the truck driver drunk?
Did the truck driver violate the hours of service rules, and was the truck driver asleep or too tired to operate the semi truck and trailer safely?
Were there multiple trailers?
Was the cargo loaded properly?
Did the truck driver have a history of traffic violations and, if so, did the trucking company know that?
Was the semi truck in good repair?
Did a defective semi truck part play any role in the accident?

The trucking company can destroy records after a certain period of time. Those records could be key evidence needed to build your case. This makes it vitally important to contact an attorney immediately following an accident.

Our lawyers will inspect the semi truck and trailer and the other vehicle(s) involved in the semi trailer accident. When necessary, we hire experts in accident reconstruction. You do not have to pay anything up front, and we are not paid unless you win. Contact a lawyer about being crushed by a semi truck trailer.

Semi Trailer Flipped Over Causing a Death

When someone dies in a semi - car accident due to the negligence of another, the spouse and next of kin can recover monetary damages for the wrongful death. In some states, including Minnesota, damages are limited to financial loss resulting from the death. The covered damages include:

Funeral expenses
Medical expenses
Potential earnings
Loss of advice, comfort, assistance, protection, counsel and companionship
Punitive damages may be awarded in a wrongful death suit upon clear and convincing evidence that the acts of the defendant show deliberate disregard for the rights or safety of others.
