Complexity of Semi-Truck Cases
Getting into a truck accident with a many times results in injuries far more severe than the average auto accident. To make matters more complicated with truck accidents, there are additional laws governing Semi-Trucks that are usually based in both California state and Federal Law.
These laws include regulations on how much a fully laden commercial truck may weigh, who may drive a big rig truck on a road, how many hours you can operate a truck before stopping to rest, and what training is required to operate a truck.
Liability Issues
Many times your cases success comes down to who is at fault. In truck accidents, that could mean the difference between getting millions of dollars and recovering nothing. M.R. Parker Law uses investigators, will track down witnesses, and hire accident reconstruction experts to help determine the cause of your truck accident and show who was at fault. We will secure the sleep and work logs for the drivers and see if they were exceeding legally permissible driving hours. Don’t leave your case to the car accident mill that won’t give your case the attention and detail it deserves.
Contingency Fee
M.R. Parker Law represents all truck collision cases on a contingency basis. This means that we don’t recover money unless you recover money! Additionally, we will advance all the costs of litigation. In a truck accident case this could mean that we will go tens of thousands of dollars out of pocket to fight for your case! And, if we don’t win your case, you do not need to pay us back for all of the costs we have advanced. There is no risk to you.
