Important Information for Truck Accident Victims

If you or a family member are involved in an accident with any type of truck, including 18 wheelers, tractor-trailers, flat-bed trucks, dump trucks, city/county/state work trucks, or other vehicle used for commercial purposes, legal consultation and investigation is vital. Horn Law is ready, willing, and able to immediately consult and investigate in collisions involving trucks or other commercial vehicles in any part of Missouri or Kansas.

Horn Law Consultations

As truck accident lawyers, our initial legal consultations with a victim or their families is usually by telephone. These initial consultations are vital and help us identify the special circumstances in the case and allow us to start the all-important investigations.

Please do not talk to trucking firm representatives, including insurance claim adjusters, prior to legal consultation. Click here for more information regarding legal consultations in a truck accident case.

Horn Law Investigations

Investigation of a truck accident involves the following considerations:

1. Accident Scene Investigations (above/beyond police investigations)

2. Truck Driver Investigations (driving record, employment histories, etc.)

3. Trucking Firm Investigations (inc. vehicle, maintenance documentation)

4. Truck Accident Reconstructions

Although the majority of our truck cases come from western and southern Missouri, we handle tractor-trailer accidents in Kansas and other parts of the Midwest. While is important for your attorney to know state laws that pertain to truckers, truck drivers and trucking firms are highly regulated by federal regulations. These federal regulations are always of utmost importance in trucking accident investigation, claims, and litigation.
