Bay Area Truck Accident Lawyers
Committed to Maximizing Your Financial Recovery Following Serious Injury
Contrary to a quick-glance understanding of truck accident law, trucks are more than just “big cars”. They involve different laws, restrictions, insurance and even statistics.
For instance, big rigs need more space and time to stop. California has different speed limits for 18-wheelers, and the punishment for speeding with a tractor-trailer can carry a misdemeanor criminal charge.
Despite different speed laws, however, big trucks cause a disproportionate share of national roadway accidents. At the Bay Area law firm of The Law Office of Ian Zimmerman we believe that when truck drivers and trucking companies commit negligence, flaunt laws and cause accidents and injuries, they need to be held responsible.
If you have been injured or have lost a loved one in a truck accident, contact an experienced firm that won’t back down against big trucking and transportation companies. Contact The Law Office of Ian Zimmerman in the Bay Area at (415) 887-9394.
Truck accidents often involve more than just bad judgment at a key moment on the road. There may be issues of:
- Driver hiring, training, licensing and qualifications
- Negligent truck maintenance
- Regulations that apply to commercial vehicles
- Conflicting or overlapping insurance coverages
We work with a network of nationally recognized experts to reconstruct commercial truck accidents. We also investigate drivers’ logs, company records, hiring procedures and employee screening practices to uncover negligent practices which will enhance claims for compensation. Our two-member attorney team has a combined 50 years of experience, in handling motor vehicle accident cases and in obtaining the compensation that the injured clients deserve. For a no-charge discussion of your case, please contact our firm.
