Pennsylvania Truck Accident Injury and Wrongful Death Lawyer
Northern Pennsylvania serves as a hub for truck traffic serving the northeastern United States. Every day, thousands of loaded semi-trailers traverse Interstate 90, I-79, I-86 and other important roads and highways throughout the region. The drivers behind the wheels of these massive machines are supposed to be trained to follow specific federal and state trucking regulations. Unfortunately, too many truck companies put more emphasis on their profits than on public safety.
We have experience handling all types of 18-wheeler crash injury and wrongful death claims, including claims resulting from:
- Truck jackknife wrecks
- Drunk truck driver
- Untrained or under-trained truck driver
- Truck driver speeding or reckless driving
- FMCSA violations, log book violations
- Unsafe loads
- Improper maintenance and safety equipment
At Bernard & Stuczynski, we have been helping victims of truck driver and truck company negligence for more than two decades. An accident between a car and a truck is different than any other kind of motor vehicle accident. The truck's sheer weight and size mean that automobile or motorcycle drivers and passengers don't have much of a chance to avoid serious injury. In addition, truck insurance companies are more aggressive in the trucking companies' and truckers' defense. After all, they are protecting the bottom line of some of the largest corporate interests in America. Standing up to them at the negotiating table and in court means you need to present your evidence for significant money damages clearly and aggressively. We have that kind of experience.
"Truck accident claims often involve more than truck driver liability. Often, the corporation can be held liable for ignoring or violating safety regulations in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Act (FMCSA). We know the FMCSA and we know how to call in the right experts to determine liability and present the evidence clearly." Attorney Bruce Bernard
