-: If you've just been in a truck accident,
your first step is to call medical personnel,
but more so in a truck accident case,
the very next step should be call an attorney
that has years of experience,
all the skills, all the knowledge
when it comes to dealing with truck accident cases.
I guarantee you, the second that you get
in a truck accident, those trucking companies
are mobilizing experts to come to the scene.
They will send accident reconstruction experts.
They will send safety managers.
They will try to get your statement
at the scene of the accident.
They will sometimes, we've had this experience,
where they will even destroy evidence at the scene.
Over the last 10 years, I've had extensive experience
in handling big truck accidents,
cases that involve cement trucks, dump trucks,
18-wheeler tractor trailer trucks.
I don't think it's any secret that the number of cases
that I've handled is significantly more
than most personal injury attorneys.
I would say I've handled hundreds of big truck cases.
Most personal injury attorneys don't have just that volume
of big truck cases cross their desks.
They just don't.
That is one of the things that really, I think,
differentiates us.
We definitely have the experience
in dealing with big truck cases.
The biggest distinguishing factor
in between a truck accident case
and a car accident case is the size.
You got bigger trucks, bigger impacts,
bigger injuries, more persistent injuries.
When your injuries last longer,
those damages just generally tend to be more significant.
The most common causes of truck accidents
are probably rear end accidents and side swipes.
So, anytime you're driving a big truck
or someone's driving a big truck,
it's hard for them to stop.
So rear end accident is pretty common.
18-wheelers have huge blind spots.
Entire vehicles can fit within those blind spots,
and I can't even count how many times
I've represented people in truck accident cases
where they were the victim of a side swipe.
A lot of times when the 18-wheeler hits you
in a sideswipe accident,
they don't even know that they've hit you.
Do not be in an 18-wheeler's blind spot.
Get past the 18-wheeler, or stay behind the 18-wheeler.
Very important.
