When contacting the personal injury attorney about an accident involving an 18 wheeler, one of the first things you should ask prior to setting up a consultation is whether there is at least one experienced 18 wheeler accident attorney on staff at the firm.

18 wheeler accidents can be caused by a number of things – some of them more dangerous than if the same thing happened to a passenger vehicle. Some accidents that can cause extensive injuries or death include blowouts, unsafe loads and driver violations. An experienced 18 wheeler accident attorney will also have access to experts needed to properly investigate an 18 wheeler accident.

18 wheelers have GPS tracking and black boxes on the trucks. An experienced 18 wheeler accident attorney and a team of investigators and accident reconstruction people know how put information from these tools together with physical information (skid mark measurements and other “clues” from the scene). They may use computer animation and simulation to get to the bottom of the cause of the accident. If you or a loved one has been involved in an 18 wheeler accident, regardless of where you think the fault lies, contact Ledger & Associates at 1-800-300-0001 for a free consultation with an experienced 18 wheeler accident attorney.
