Legal Recourse Following Highway Accidents

Highway accidents, particularly tractor-trailer and truck accidents, often result in spinal cord injuries, reflex sympathetic dystrophy, mild traumatic brain injuries and post traumatic brain injuries. For this reason, it is important that truck accident attorneys be well-versed in highway safety procedures and treatment protocols.

Truck Accidents and Other Common Lawsuits

My firm deals with many types of highway accidents. We were able to recover a large settlement of more than 1.5 million dollars in a recent in truck accident case by establishing that the truck operators were negligent in their operation of their vehicle and in violation of government mandated rules and regulations regulating truck operation. As experienced truck accident attorneys we work with forensic engineers and accident reconstruction experts when necessary and have a working knowledge of the regulations governing truck operators on the highways including the safety rules and regulations of the Federal Department of Transportation and the Federal MotorCarrier Safety Administration.

How Our Truck Accident And Highway Accident Attorneys Are Different

Experienced truck accident attorneys realize that mild traumatic brain injuries and post traumatic brain injuries often involve unexplained changes in a client's mental processes including poor memory, difficulty concentrating, poor organizational skills, forgetting appointments and a general feeling of not being right mentally. Clients with brain injuries who did not lose consciousness in the accident may still experience cognitive and mental losses. I have successfully handled many cases involving closed head and traumatic brain injuries.

As an experienced traumatic brain injury lawyer I try to make certain that clients suffering from traumatic brain injuries following truck accidents or any other kind of highway accidents are referred to appropriate and knowledgeable treating neurologists and undergo all necessary diagnostic tests, including neuropsychological testing to compare a client's pre- and post- accident mental state. It is important for truck accident attorneys to make certain that a client is being treated by a neurologist or other medical professional who is very familiar with the subtle cognitive changes which a client may experience after a brain injury.

Tractor trailer and truck accident cases frequently result in spinal cord injuries and chronic pain syndromes such as reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD). We work closely with medical experts specializing in the treatment of these injuries, including spinal cord fusion surgeries and the implantation of spinal cord stimulators.
