Baltimore, Maryland, Truck Accident Lawyer Practicing Nationwide and Licensed in Maryland, Washington, D.C. and Florida
Despite strict federal and state regulations, commercial trucks pose a serious danger to other motorists. The massive weight and limited control leave no room for error if the tractor trailer is poorly maintained, or the driver fatigued, speeding or otherwise negligent.
The Law Office of Susan R. Green, PC has successfully pursued justice for truck accident victims nationwide and is licensed in Maryland, Washington, D.C., and Florida. Call us night or day for the strong legal advocacy to win full compensation.
Aggressive Investigation and Compassionate Support
In Maryland alone, collisions involving large trucks and buses killed 67 people in 2006 and injured more than 1,500 people, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. For this very reason, the DOT requires special training and licensing, sets limits on hours behind the wheel of a semi, and regulates truck weight, freight and maintenance. Yet these rules are routinely broken by trucking companies and their employees.
Our firm helps truck accident victims collect immediate benefits for medical bills and lost wages where available, assists in identifying medical experts sensitive to the needs of injured parties and payment issues. Truck accidents often cause serious and life-changing injuries. We detail the victim's medical treatment and future care requirements, and use experts to calculate lost earning capacity and rehabilitation. We submit to the insurance company a comprehensive claim that includes damages for permanent disability, pain and suffering and lost quality of life.
What Caused the Truck Crash?
We send professional investigators and accident reconstruction experts to preserve photo and video evidence and identify witnesses. We obtain driver logbooks, inspection and maintenance records, driver histories and "black box" recorder data, where available. Attorney Susan R. Green scours the reports to build a solid case for the negligence that led to the crash:
- Driver error — fatigue, inattentive driving, driving too fast for conditions, traffic violations
- Negligent entrustment — failing to properly train drivers or hiring truckers with a history of violations, substance abuse or criminal records
- Negligent maintenance — bad brakes or tires, unbalanced or overweight loads, improperly maintained vehicles.
We are dedicated to uncovering the truth and putting blame where it belongs, so that our clients recover full compensation for a devastating truck accident. Call us today to fight for you. We offer a free consultation at 866.705.4407 and we are accessible 24/7.
