Personal Injury and Wrongful Death

Lawsuit Against Trucking Company:
Attorney for Personal Injury and Wrongful Death

Our accident attorneys have won several million-plus dollar settlements and verdicts against trucking companies. When we are hired to sue a trucking company and truck driver for personal injury and wrongful death, we immediately do the following:

  • Send a spoliation letter. This is a letter to the trucking company requesting that the company preserve evidence related to the accident.
  • Interview witnesses. This needs to be done before memories fade.
  • Hire accident reconstruction specialists. Because we have experience with these cases, we have relationships with the best forensic engineers in the business, and we have the resources to hire them. We are not paid unless you win your lawsuit against the trucking company and truck driver.
  • Examine the crash vehicles. All of the vehicles involved in the crash should be inspected for dents, scrapes, other evidence of the impact and defective parts (brakes, steering, tires, etc.). We always do this with our accident reconstruction experts.

Our attorneys represent accident victims and their families nationwide. Contact us for a free case review and to talk to an attorney about our experience and record of success. Attorneys Fred Pritzker and Eric Hageman are our lead attorneys for these cases.

When we win a settlement or verdict for a family who has lost a loved one, we work with the family and financial advisors to develop a plan to honor the memory of the deceased. Call toll-free 1-888-377-8900.

Building a Winning Case for Your
Lawsuit Against the Trucking Company

Truck accidents are different than other vehicle accidents because of the federal laws that govern the trucking industry. Federal regulations require that certain evidence must be maintained, but only for a limited amount of time. For example, the semi truck driver’s log may be destroyed after six months if a Minnesota truck accident lawyer does not obtain a court order or take other immediate action. What sets our law firm apart is that we know the federal laws governing trucking companies and their drivers inside and out. This knowledge helps us do a thorough investigation.

Investigating a semi truck accident involving a car, motorcycle, van, bus or bicycle, is extremely expensive. When you hire an attorney to file a lawsuit against a trucking company for personal injury or wrongful death, you will need to make sure that the law firm has the resources to investigate and win your case. Our law firm has won millions for accident victims. This means we have the resources to hire the best accident reconstruction specialists, animationists and other professionals to give you the winning edge.

Lawsuit against a Trucking Company and Insurance

When we sue a trucking company on behalf of a client (injury or wrongful death), we negotiate with the trucking company’s legal team and its insurer.  The trucking company’s insurance company is involved because it is the insurance company that ultimately pays the semi truck accident victim and his or her family.  In many cases, more than one insurance company  is involved because more than one company is liable.  Read about trucking company liability.

If you or a loved one has been in an accident with a semi-trailer truck, you have probably already been contacted by an insurance company for the trucking company, the driver, the owner of the freight or another potentially liable party.  You should not talk to the insurance company representative.  Their goal is to make sure they pay out as little as possible. 

Our law firm has negotiated several settlements of over $2 million dollars with trucking and insurance companies.  This is only after we have built a case that they know we have a good chance of winning at trial.  Because of our success at doing this, our law firm has the resources to hire accident reconstruction experts and others to make your case one that will persuade a jury to give you a full and adequate amount of money.
