PRACTICE AREA
Las Vegas Truck Accident Attorney
Truck and commercial vehicle accidents cause some of the most debilitating injuries on Nevada’s highways. Serious burns, paraplegia, quadriplegia, long-lasting head and neck trauma often result from collisions between heavy trucks and smaller autos.
Despite safety laws and increased driver training requirements, commercial trucking accidents are on the rise. Over the last two decades injuries and deaths resulting from truck crashes have risen 20 percent.
Don’t rush to settle. Trucking companies employ their own adjusters who travel to the accident site immediately to limit liability. A quick settlement is rarely in your best interest.
Trucks, vans, and commercial vehicles carry substantial insurance coverage due to the seriousness of injuries these vehicles cause. Because significant amounts of money are at stake, insurance companies have developed strategies to defend against these claims. It takes an experienced attorney to cause these companies to make significant offers.
Causes of Truck Accidents
- Driver fatigue — twofold increase in crash risk after 8+ hours
- Distraction by cell phone or texting during long shifts
- Brake failure accounts for 29.5% of all truck crashes (DOT)
- Speeding and aggressive driving
- Prescription or illegal drug use
How We Investigate
Establishing liability in commercial vehicle collisions is challenging because of overlapping layers of liability. The truck driver, employer, their safety records, maintenance records, and management policies all need review. Mr. Woods has the patience, determination, and experience to aggressively pursue truck crash cases.
