“Truck accident cases require specialized expertise. We analyze the truck’s electronic data recorder and work with specialized experts to establish what happened. Commercial truck drivers are held to higher federal standards regarding hours of operation, vehicle maintenance, and safety protocols. These cases involve complex regulatory compliance issues and typically result in more severe injuries, which is why having an attorney with specific trucking accident experience is absolutely critical.”
