Truck accidents, while rare, can lead to very serious injury and often death. A passenger vehicle stands little chance against a large 18 wheeler and when these accidents happen, every second counts. Truck accidents are caused by a variety of factors- driver fatigue, unfavorable weather conditions, truck drivers who are under the influence of intoxicants or truck equipment failure. These accidents can occur out of nowhere and completely change your life with generally severe injuries to the driver of the passenger vehicle. These injuries can be permanent so it is important that the correct medical care is received immediately. It is also important that you do not jeopardize your case through communication with any insurance companies involved. To maximize your award, it is important that you have the right legal representation. If you or a loved one have been injured in a truck accident, or if a loved one lost their life in a truck accident, it is critical that you contact Walker & Associates immediately to preserve your rights and maximize your potential award.
