Real Help in a Serious Situation
All traffic accidents are dangerous, but an accident with a semi-truck or commercial vehicle can be particularly detrimental for one simple reason: the size difference between the truck and your car can often mean serious injury or death.
In addition to dealing with serious injury or death, a semi-truck accident also involves more work to prove your case than a typical car accident. The trucking company and its insurance carrier will investigate the accident quickly — you need someone to do the same for you.
At the Law Office of Michael J. Joshi, I help individuals in Kansas and Missouri who have been injured in semi-truck and commercial vehicle accidents. We will discuss your needs and help you get appropriate medical treatment, as well as fair compensation. Contact me to talk about your legal options and remedies, and how I can help you.
It is Important to Get an Attorney Soon After Your Accident
I will investigate the accident right away and gather evidence for you. My experience helps me know what to look for so we can present your best case. As a former insurance defense lawyer, I also understand how insurance companies operate. This experience is an invaluable tool when conducting negotiations for your compensation.
I can help if you or a family member were involved in an accident with a:
- Semi-truck (18-wheeler, tractor trailer)
- Garbage truck
- Delivery truck
- Other commercial vehicle
Special Considerations for Truck Accidents
Because of their size and potential danger, trucks carry greater liability coverage than a regular, non-commercial vehicle. But they also have lawyers to vigorously protect their company's interests.
I will work to protect your rights in this situation. Generally, truck accidents happen for two reasons:
- Distracted or negligent drivers (driving over their hours limit, driving drunk)
- Negligent maintenance (faulty equipment)
By investigating the accident early, I can find the cause of your accident and put together the strongest case for your situation.
