Collisions and accidents involving commercial trucks require the expertise of seasoned trial lawyers. The attorneys at Northland Injury Law have pursued numerous trucking cases on behalf of injured victims and those who have lost loved ones.
If you or a loved one have been involved in an accident with a truck, you must act quickly. Trucking companies have representatives in the field who often arrive at accident scenes while emergency medical personnel are still trying to help the injured. These representatives often steer law enforcement officials away from evidence and information that would be helpful for the injured person. Evidence is also often lost or destroyed. This evidence includes: driver’s logs and electronic control modules, also known as ECMs or black boxes. ECMs record speed, braking, RPMs and gear shifting. Obtaining driver logs and ECMs is important, because these devices are often used to place liability on the trucker or trucking company. Trucking companies need to be held accountable for their violations.
Often times there are catastrophic injuries associated with a trucking accident. These injuries include burns, brain damage and spinal cord injuries resulting in paralysis. Many times people are killed as a result of a trucking collision. As Kansas City trial attorneys, we vigorously pursue compensation for these injuries and are persistent advocates for victim’s rights.
When it comes to truck accidents, you should not choose legal representation from an attorney who is lacking in experience and the skills needed to win your case. Choose Kansas City lawyers who have a proven track record and years of experience representing truck collision victims. The trial lawyers at Northland Injury Law will fight aggressively for your rights and apply our knowledge in and out of the courtroom to make sure you get every bit of the compensation you deserve.
