Determining Negligence in a Commercial Vehicle Wreck
Sorting through the tangle of relationships between truck drivers and an array of shipping companies who may be involved in a commercial truck accident can become a complex shell game of avoiding liability. Injury claims are complex due to added state and federal regulations and the degree of damage and injury from the accident. Mr. Ginzkey works closely with experts in accident reconstruction, vehicle engineering and Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) to determine the cause of a crash, who is responsible, and why. He carefully examines legal relationships between contractor drivers, their employers and the insurance carriers. He reviews driver and shipping logs, vehicle maintenance records, and drug test results for federal or state law violations.
As a skilled truck accident injury attorney, Mr. Ginskey has experience handling cases involving:
- Driver fatigue or DUI/drunk driving
- Speeding
- Wide turns into oncoming traffic
- Improperly pulled off the road
- Tire blowouts and break failures
- Load shifting and unsecured loads
- Poor vehicle maintenance
- Improper markings or logs
- False logs or records
Documenting the Human Toll
A serious truck accident can change the lives of individuals and families for years to come. Working with existing data, Mr. Ginzkey consults with medical experts to determine the full extent of injury, and the associated costs for surgeries, prescription drugs, physical therapy, and at-home treatment and care. He also works with life-planning specialists to carefully calculate the true impact of the physical, financial and emotional damage victims and their families can face in the years ahead.
As your attorney, Mr. Ginzkey works hard to hold negligent truck drivers and companies accountable for your injuries and reduced quality of life. Contact Central Illinois truck accident lawyer James P. Ginzkey today for a free consultation.
