Truck Accident Lawyer in Southeast Michigan
Size decides a lot in a collision. When a passenger car meets a loaded truck or semi, the people in the car usually take the worst of it, and too often those crashes are fatal. If you or someone close to you was hurt in a truck accident, you need to understand your rights before anyone asks you to sign anything. Gary R. Lazar represents people in Warren and the surrounding area who were injured in crashes with trucks and semi-trucks.
How Truck Crashes Happen
Large commercial vehicles demand more from the people driving them. When a driver or company cuts corners, the results can be devastating. Common causes include:
- Reckless driving
- Driver fatigue
- Speeding
- Other negligent acts behind the wheel
Identifying what went wrong is the starting point for any claim. Gary reviews police reports and interviews witnesses to establish how the crash occurred and who was responsible.
The Harm These Accidents Cause
Truck crashes tend to produce more than physical injuries. Survivors often deal with trauma that lingers well after the wreck, along with financial losses that keep growing. A claim can seek compensation for medical bills, lost wages, lost future earnings, and property damage.
Gary understands how devastating a truck accident can be for a family and works to move through the legal process as quickly and painlessly as possible.
Settlement or Litigation
There is more than one way to resolve a truck accident case, and the right path depends on the facts.
Reaching a Settlement
In some cases, the solution is a monetary settlement with the trucking company responsible for the accident. A well-documented claim gives that negotiation a stronger foundation.
Taking the Case to Court
In other cases, litigation is necessary to pursue the compensation you deserve. If the trucking company will not offer a fair resolution, Gary is prepared to take the matter to court.
