West Virginia roads have enough dangers without adding an out-of-control semi-truck. These oversized big rigs weigh more than fifteen times as much as a passenger car, and when the two collide, it’s rare for the smaller vehicle’s occupants to walk away with just a couple of bumps and bruises. Our Wheeling, WV truck accident lawyer fights for every penny you’re due after the wreck, so you can access the quality medical care you deserve. Call Hayhurst Law PLLC today for a consultation.
Truck Accident Lawyer Wheeling, WV
Semi-trucks weigh about 80,000 fully loaded, but even if the trailer is empty, these oversized vehicles still do considerable damage when they smash into your much-smaller car or SUV. Multiple broken bones, internal bleeding and organ damage, brain trauma, and debilitating spinal cord damage are all common in a truck accident, and many of these victims suffer multiple severe injuries. Recovery is long, painful, and for many people, fraught with emotional distress.
You may be unable to work for weeks or even months after the wreck, and as you lie in the hospital, your bills, including medical bills, pile up. The trucker who caused the crash can be held liable for your losses, and often, the trucking company they drive for, too.
Our Wheeling truck accident lawyer helps you get the compensation you deserve to pay for top-quality medical care and to cover your other losses. We have considerable experience litigating truck accident claims involving multiple defendants, and a strong track record of high-dollar settlements. We handle all the legal requirements necessary to advance your claim, including investigating the accident to build the case and analyzing data from the truck’s electronic logging device (ELD). This federally mandated device tracks the vehicle’s movements, speed, and torque.
We’re skilled negotiators who can often secure a fair settlement outside of court, in mediations or in talks with the other side. However, we prepare each truck crash claim as though we will eventually present it to a jury, so we’re prepared if the other side refuses to make a fair offer. You can focus on healing and regaining your abilities, knowing that your case is in good hands.
