Truck Accidents

The Belden Law Office - Greensburg Pennsylvania Truck Accident Lawyers

Due to the size and bulk of 18-wheel tractor trailers, accidents involving trucks often involve severe, catastrophic injuries. More often than not, driver fatigue, improper truck maintenance, or poor training is involved. At Belden Law, our truck accident attorneys work with accident reconstructionists and investigators in determining how an accident happened. We recover the black box of a truck when available, subpoena a driver’s log, review company records regarding driver training and licensing, and request a drug test if necessary. Our office gathers evidence and demands compensation for our client’s injuries and loss in quality of life.

We uncover evidence and present the facts – contact Greensburg, Pennsylvania truck accident lawyers at Belden Law. We represent clients throughout Murrysville, New Kensington, Irwin, North Huntingdon, Latrobe, Ligonier, and Derry.

Holding Truck Driving Companies Responsible

The trucking industry is governed by state and federal regulations. Drivers must keep a log of hours, submit to drug testing, be properly trained, and adhere to certain rules regarding the road. Compliance with many of these regulations requires record and book keeping on the part of trucking companies.

At Belden Law, our truck accident attorneys know where to look for information regarding a driver’s history, what records to subpoena, and what federal and state regulations say in regard to reflector requirements, loading safety, and driving rules. We recognize tactics used to avoid liability and are prepared to use the law to reach inside a company to fact-check driving records, drug tests, and vehicular safety.

Determining the Financial Costs of Your Injuries

Our truck wreck lawyers consult economic impact analysts and healthcare planners to determine the present and future costs of your medical care and lost wages. We provide an itemized list of care requirements, as well as an estimate of what your loss in quality of life means to you and your family.
