Lawyer for Investigation, Lawsuit and Settlement

Our law firm represents people who have been run over by a semi truck or other commercial truck and their families. Our cases have involved pedestrians and bicyclists.

We have won millions for our truck accident clients, including the following:

  • $1,700,000 on behalf of a 42 year-old man who was run over by a semi truck as the man stood beside the road while assisting another motorist who crashed in an earlier accident. The victim sustained a number of fractures and internal injuries from which he never fully recovered.
  • $1,536,921 on behalf of a 36 year-old man whose wheel chair was struck by a truck as the man tried to cross a busy road. He used a motorized chair due to pre-existing rheumatoid arthritis.
