The Abelson Law Firm represents victims of serious personal injury arising from medical malpractice, auto accidents, defective products and other acts of negligence. The mission of The Abelson Law Firm is to seek justice and fair compensation for seriously injured people.

Truck accidents are often deadly because they involve large commercial trucks colliding with smaller vehicles. Large tractor trailers, 18 wheelers, dump trucks, construction trucks fit within this category. To many of us, it seems that these trucks feel no need for road manners. Unfortunately, the lack of road manners produces deadly results. Large commercial truck travel has more than doubled over the last fifteen years, resulting in serious safety consequences. In 2005 alone, 8,000 people were killed and an additional 150,000 were injured in truck crashes in the United States.

The laws governing trucks involved in interstate commerce are extremely complex. Understanding the regulations of the commercial trucking industry is essential to handling a truck accident case. Many cases turn on the truck company’s compliance with federal safety and maintenance regulations, the truck company’s failure to provide training and/or supervision of its drivers, and even possible manufacturing or design defects involving the truck itself. Experienced counsel must be retained to investigate the potential liability of the driver and the trucking company, as well as the potential liability of the manufacturer of the truck, and the potential liability of the maintenance and inspection companies.

The Abelson Law Firm understands that your immediate goals after a truck accident are to see that your medical bills paid and covered, that you do not suffer financially from lost wages.
