Truck Accidents

Have You Been Involved In a Truck Accident That Resulted In An Amputation?

Commercial trucks are some of the most dangerous vehicles on the road. They’re many times larger and heavier than any kind of personal automobile, and during a collision they do much greater damage to the other vehicle and driver than to themselves. For this reason, the law regulates their use to ensure the safety of other drivers. If an accident with a commercial truck – where the driver was negligent – leads to an amputation, you are entitled to damages.

Trucking companies often have a great deal of knowledge about accident law, because they — and their insurance company — understand how expensive it can be for them. They will, unfortunately, be actively working to reduce their driver’s fault in your accident, and to minimize the extent of your injuries.

Our team at the law firm of Doyle Law will prevent this from happening.  And, we can assist you in getting the compensation you deserve for your amputation.

• Negligence from the drivers themselves, such as driving while intoxicated, using cell phones and other distractions, etc.
