Commercial Truck Accident Lawyer
Commercial Truck Accidents
When a driver has been in an accident with a truck driver, the injuries sustained can be severe. A fully loaded tractor trailer truck can weigh up to 80,000 pounds. The size of commercial vehicles alone makes other cars on the road extremely vulnerable.
For this reason, the attorneys of Susan E. Loggans & Associates aggressively litigate truck accident claims in order to hold the at-fault parties accountable. We also seek to discourage dangerous negligence and reckless actions from occurring.
Common damages may include but are not limited to the following:
- medical expenses,
- future related medical costs,
- pain and suffering,
- loss of wages,
- loss of future wages stemming from an inability to work,
- property damage, and
- reconstructive surgery expenses.
