Truck Accident
The attorneys at Reddick Law have extensive experience litigating tractor-trailer accident cases. Truck accident cases are often significantly more complex than ordinary car accident cases and many times require expert witnesses, engineers, and accident reconstruction specialists. The damages in a truck wreck case can be significant. That is why trucking companies and their insurance carriers often have investigative personnel on the scene immediately after the wreck happens. These investigators are there to protect the interests of the trucking company, not the injured. If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident with a tractor-trailer, it is imperative that you contact an attorney immediately. Speed is key.
The commercial trucking industry is highly regulated by state and federal governments. Knowledge of the complex laws governing tractor-trailers is crucial in truck wreck litigation. The attorneys at Reddick Law are experienced in working with those injured in truck accidents.
