The Hershewe Law Firm, P.C., has particular experience and success pursuing claims for clients injured or killed in collisions with trucks, tractor trailers and other commercial vehicles, including chain reaction crashes. Collisions involving tractor trailers and trucks often cause significant damages and may involve pursuing claims for personal injury, wrongful death or property damage against the transportation company, insurance companies, driver and others.
The trucking and transportation lawyers at The Hershewe Law Firm, P.C., in Joplin, Missouri have the resources and ability to successfully pursue these often complex cases, including specific knowledge of all the trucking laws and regulations, such as the requirements for logging driver hours, rest periods, maintenance requirements, training and other regulations.
Some of our recent successes in this area include:
- A $19 Million settlement, right before closing arguments, in the case of a 16-year old honor student who was rendered a brain damaged quadriplegic when her parent’s mini-van, in which she was a passenger, was struck by a double-length tractor trailer operated by a driver who was over the maximum number of hours and suffered from a sleep disorder.
- A $5 Million verdict for a father of six who was killed when a commercial truck, operating in fog, ran a stop sign and hit his vehicle in the intersection.
- A $5 Million verdict for a 16-year old cheerleader who was struck by a commercial vehicle whose driver tested positive for Methamphetamine.
- A $4.46 Million settlement during trial of a motorcycle/tractor-trailer wreck involving a severe head injury to the plaintiff.
Often, when a tractor trailer, truck or other commercial vehicle is involved in a collision, companies react quickly to protect themselves and their employees. Our lengthy experience pursuing these kinds of claims means our attorneys and investigators know where to look and how to find information about what really happened and present compelling cases to judges and juries to get full compensation for our clients.
