After you get hurt in a truck accident, there are a few key factors to consider when hiring a truck accident attorney. Look for the following characteristics to help your case:
Years of Legal Experience
Truck accident cases are often complex for a few reasons. The injuries suffered by the people involved are frequently significant. Also, there are commonly multiple liable parties to file lawsuits against. Because of these issues, working with an experienced truck accident attorney who has been handling these kinds of cases for years is a wise move.
Attorney Troy Burch has over thirty years of legal experience, having practiced law since 1990. When you work with the Burch Law Firm, you can rest assured that you and your legal case are in capable hands.
A Track Record of Success in Truck Accident Cases
It’s important to look for a semi-truck accident attorney with a track record of success in large truck injury cases.
At Burch Law Firm, we have multiple high-value truck accident settlements, including a $1,210,000 settlement for a victim injured in a head-on collision with a truck.
Knowledge of State and Federal Regulations
Commercial trucks not only have to follow state regulations but also federal regulations. This means you need an attorney who understands both the state and federal laws that could apply to your truck accident case. An attorney who is only familiar with state regulations may not be able to adequately prove the truck driver’s or trucking company’s negligence in your case.
Examples of trucking regulations that may apply to your case include:
- Truck size and weight limits in Texas
- Federal cargo securement rules
- Federal Hours of Service regulations
Sufficient Resources to Take Your Case All the Way
Some personal injury lawyers don’t have the resources to take every case all the way to trial, especially for more complex cases like truck accidents. At Burch Law Firm, we don’t look for quick settlements. We’re prepared to take your case to court from the outset, which gives us additional leverage in negotiations and at trial.
Solid Client Reviews
Reading client reviews and testimonials is a great way to get an understanding of how an attorney treats their clients. We encourage you to read our Google reviews and the testimonials highlighted here on our site to see what our past clients have to say about working with our compassionate and dedicated legal team.
