There can be many factors involved in a truck accident. At our law firm, we have more than thirty years of experience investigating the causes of truck accidents, establishing liability, and obtaining necessary and fair compensation for the victims.

• Factors in a semi crash may involve heavy weight (including overloading or improper loading), driver error, driver exhaustion, poor truck maintenance, drugs or alcohol, and/or traffic violations.
• With an understanding of the biomechanics and physics involved, our law firm engages investigators and expert witnesses to reconstruct the accident to determine any and all causes. Was the driver exhausted from driving too many hours? Did parts of the truck malfunction? Were traffic laws broken? Was the truck properly maintained? Was the driver intoxicated or on drugs?
• Since the injuries are nearly always serious, truck accident victims face an overwhelming array of financial, medical, and legal challenges. There are medical bills, lost income, and long-term issues such as long-term disability or coping with the death of a loved one. We have helped brain injured victims, victims facing a lifetime of quadriplegia or paraplegia, and the families of wrongful death victims.
• The legal system can be tough to navigate in the best of times. When you and your family are dealing with the medical, financial, and emotional trauma of a truck accident, you can depend on the personal injury attorneys at the Hinkle, Jachimowicz, Pointer & Emanuel law firm.
