Bronx 18 Wheeler Accident Attorney
If your family has been affected by an 18-wheeler accident, it is important to quickly contact an attorney experienced at handling New York truck accidents. Trucking companies, their insurance carriers, and their attorneys are often at the scene of an accident working to limit their financial exposure. Therefore, the victims of trucking accidents are put at an immediate disadvantage.
Prominent New York Truck Accident Lawyers
The lawyers at DeToffol & Associates are skilled with 18 wheel truck accidents. With the benefit of Mr. DeToffol's past experience as a professional engineer, our attorneys understand how to protect our clients by visiting the scene of the accident and preserving evidence that otherwise disappears. Driver logs, road markings, road debris, police marking, black box data, and data from tracking devices installed on most commercial trucks can be essential to ensuring victims of big rig accidents are fully compensated for their losses.
From the moment our firm is hired, we begin working to protect our clients. We hire accident reconstruction experts to determine how the accident occurred, utilizing the pattern of skid marks, the debris field from the accident, and any gouges in the pavement. Our lawyers subpoena all evidence related to the truck accident, including driving records for the driver and the trucking company, Federal Motor Carrier records, eye witnesses, and the vehicles involved in the accident.
New York Truck Accident Litigation
Our firm has developed a reputation for bringing 18 wheel and commercial trucking accident cases to trial. We have an in-depth understanding of the federal motor carrier safety administration regulations as well as state regulations that govern the conduct of truck drivers and trucking companies. Our lawyers have taken dozens of depositions related to trucking accidents and we understand how to develop and pursue trucking accident litigation.
While serious trucking accidents can occur anywhere in the state of New York, the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, the Belt Parkway, and the Long Island Expressway have a disproportionate number of truck accidents that result in serious injuries and wrongful death.
