Truck Accidents

Trucking Accidents Lawyers

Accidents involving tractor trailers and semi trucks are often serious. Because of the sheer size of these vehicles, catastrophic injuries can occur more often than in accidents involving smaller vehicles.

At Hirshfeld & Hirshfeld, we have been representing people injured in accidents for over 22 years. We provide sound and experienced representation to those injured in truck accidents.

Common Accident Causes

Like other vehicle accidents, trucking accidents can be caused by any number of factors. Many such accidents are caused by tired and fatigued drivers who have spent many hours on the road. Unfortunately, when the number of large trucks on the road keeps growing, so do accidents.

Accidents Caused by Car Drivers

Truck accidents can often be caused by the negligent acts of other motorists. These drivers may aggressively swerve in and out of lanes, pass where it is not safe to do so, dwell in the "No-Zone" and engage in other risky driving behavior. We offer representation to truck drivers who have been injured in accidents caused by negligent car drivers.

Solid Representation Dealing With Complex Laws

The laws governing automobile and trucking accidents in New York can be complex. To prevail, a plaintiff must prove each element of their claim, including the injuries sustained and the negligence of the other driver.

Our attorneys consult engineers, traffic consultants and accident reconstructionists to build our cases. These experts gather evidence by visiting the scene of the accident to take pictures and measurements and generally assess the situation. By developing a solid understanding of the case, we work aggressively towards settlement for our clients.
