What Types of Truck Accident Claims Does a Semi-Truck Crash Lawyer at D’Amore Law Group Handle?
There were 1910 large truck accidents in Oregon in 2022, resulting in 485 injuries and 64 deaths—each presenting unique challenges and legal nuances. At D’Amore Law Group, our advocates have seen it all, but the following are a few of the many types of truck accident cases we frequently handle.
DUI and Drug-Related Accidents
Driving under the influence is a serious criminal offense that risks innocent lives. That is why we will stop at nothing to hold those who choose to get behind the wheel while impaired accountable.
Driver Fatigue Accidents
Truck drivers are frequently under pressure to meet tight deadlines, which can lead to fatigue-related accidents. D’Amore Law Group is intimately familiar with industry standards and regulations that govern driving hours and can identify when drivers have violated them. We will work tirelessly to hold drivers who endanger lives by driving fatigued responsible.
Rollover Accidents
When a truck loses stability and rolls over, it can crush nearby vehicles and cause additional hazards by spilling cargo. Our team possesses a wealth of knowledge and experience in rollover investigation, allowing us to skillfully analyze the circumstances surrounding an incident and fight for a just settlement.
Jackknife Accidents
Trucks can jackknife when they fold at the articulation point, which allows the two parts of the truck’s chassis to move independently. Our experienced team has a nuanced understanding of jackknife accidents and multi-vehicle pile-ups resulting from jackknifing, making it easier to determine liability.
Blind Spot Accidents
Trucks have large blind spots, which can cause collisions if drivers fail to account for them. Our firm understands the importance of truck driver responsibility and how to demonstrate breaches of their duty to establish driver negligence.
Under-Ride Accidents
Under-ride collisions occur when a smaller vehicle gets lodged under a truck’s trailer. Handling these harrowing accidents can be complex, but we have extensive experience dealing with complicated truck accident cases.
