Chesterfield Truck Accident Attorneys

Statewide Service for Accident Victims in Missouri

At The Roberts Law Firm, P.C., our experienced personal injury lawyers represent the victims of truck and commercial vehicle accidents throughout Missouri. For some types of cases we offer an initial consultation about your legal alternatives if you or someone in your family has been injured in a semi truck wreck, contact one of our attorneys in Chesterfield.

If you have been injured in a truck accident, you are entitled to claim compensation for your:

  • Medical costs

  • Future lost income

According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMSCA), in 2008 alone there were 4,229 fatalities and 90,000 serious personal injuries resulting from truck accidents. If you, or someone you love, has been involved in a truck accident, contact us today.

Our law firm offers prompt and attentive client service that combines a thorough understanding of the applicable law with a commitment to achieve the best possible settlement or trial result available under the facts of your case. In truck accident litigation, that means we can apply our knowledge of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations to establish liability against one or more individual or corporate defendants. It also means that we work closely with you and your treating physicians to make sure that every aspect of your overall loss is included in your damages demand and supported by persuasive evidence.

We are capable of representing the victims or surviving families of such heavy vehicle accidents as the following:

  • Accidents involving semi tractor-trailer combinations or 18-wheelers
  • Crash cases involving construction vehicles, dump trucks, or light utility trucks
  • Commercial vehicle accidents involving hotel shuttles, airport limos, or private passenger carriers
  • Truck accidents in highway construction zones
  • Accidents involving moving trucks, delivery vans or parcel express vehicles
  • Collisions with tow trucks or snowplows

Investigating the Accident

At The Roberts Law Firm, P.C., we conduct a comprehensive investigation of how the accident happened. Our team will work to build a strong and persuasive case designed to obtain maximum compensation for you.

We get to the root causes of truck accidents. We will investigate negligence by the driver, trucking company, and will employ experts including:

  • Accident reconstruction specialists
  • Expert truck mechanics to determine the condition of brakes, tires, lights, mirrors, the trailer and other equipment at the time of the crash
  • Engineers regarding turning radius or braking distances
  • Safety Experts

We will carefully review your case including, all driver logs, maintenance records, and the black box in the truck. We also want to assist you in getting the medical care and compensation you need to rebuild your life.

The insurance companies and claims adjusters representing trucking companies and truck drivers are often highly skilled and aggressive and present low offers of settlement designed to give you less than your case is truly worth. The trucking company and its insurance company will also hire an experienced lawyer to defend its position. You need experienced legal counsel with the ability to succeed in jury trials for your case as well.

Strong Representation for Complex Cases

Truck accident litigation can be highly complex, reflecting the fact that different defendants might be held responsible for different aspects of the causal factors that resulted in the collision, as well as the fact that the injuries suffered in heavy vehicle crashes are very often catastrophic or fatal. Our attention to detail and familiarity with the demands of complex injury litigation can help you obtain the best resolution of your case.
