Proving Liability for a Truck Accident
Tractor-trailers and other commercial vehicles are highly insured because of the potential for catastrophic injury or fatality. But trucking companies and their insurers have good lawyers and they will have their own investigators on the scene within hours.
I know what to look for to prove the cause of an 18-wheeler crash. We bring in professionals to examine the wreckage and debris, and our lawyer works fast to obtain accident reports, driver log books, vehicle maintenance records, "black box" data, and a criminal and driving history of the driver.
Our job is to prove the negligence:
- Driver fatigue or inattention
- Speeding, changing lanes, tail-gating, running a red light
- Bad brakes or bald tires on the truck
- Overweight, unbalanced or unsecured cargo
Securing Full Damages
Truck accidents cause bad injuries. We hold out for compensation that covers future care, lost earning capacity, permanent injury, and pain and suffering. Mr. Kehoe is a trial lawyer with 20 years of experience, and he is prepared to take your case to a jury if the final settlement offer falls short.
I have handled all types of truck accidents — tractor trailers, package delivery trucks, construction vehicles — on freeways, rural roads and city streets throughout northwestern Oregon.
