18-Wheeler
Accidents

Arkansas is an at-fault state for truck accident claims. You have a case if another party is responsible for the accident. Each case is evaluated for negligence, or whether any party failed to exercise reasonable care and caution. A simple traffic violation may be sufficient, like speeding or failing to obey a traffic signal.

Truckers are commercial drivers. They have a high duty to operate safety on the roads. A truck must be maintained properly. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is not permitted. Our lawyers can look beyond the initial accident report to discover the true causes of the truck accident and grounds for compensation.

You shouldn’t have to worry about paying your lawyer. That’s why we’re committed to taking claims on a contingency fee basis. Pay only when we get results for you. There’s no cost to get started and nothing to pay upfront. Plus, the case starts with a free consultation, so there’s nothing to lose by learning more about your rights.

A truck accident lawyer represents a victim in claiming compensation for an accident. Here are some of the things we may do as we work for justice on behalf of a victim:

• Investigate who has legal fault to pay damages. The truck driver may not be the only one responsible to pay
• Find insurance policies and go through the claims process
• Valuing damages
• Gathering records including employment and maintenance records from the trucking company
• Preparing and filing legal documents
• Speaking on your behalf in court
• Presenting accident reconstruction to demonstrate the cause and severity of the truck accident
• Settlement negotiations and trial advocacy
• Custom legal strategy so that we resolve your case in the way that works best for you
• Honest guidance and communication throughout the case

As your trucking accident lawyers, we want the at-fault party to be held accountable. Being held accountable means paying the victim fairly for their losses. We have a streamlined process to work towards your compensation efficiently, keeping in mind the special issues faced by trucking accident victims.

There are a lot of things that go into a settlement amount for an 18-wheeler accident. A typical settlement reflects the victim’s damages which may include economic losses and pain and suffering. In addition, it considers the strength of the legal case and other legal issues that are important to determining a fair amount.

Our lawyers work for maximum compensation for 18-wheeler accidents. At your free consultation, ask us what settlement amount is likely in your case. We can explain the strengths and weaknesses of your case and what to expect.
