Truck Accidents

St. Louis Personal Injury Lawyers

Truck accident litigation presents challenges not experienced in other types of motor vehicle accident cases. Because the trucking industry is heavily regulated, an accident involving a truck is significantly more complex than an automobile accident case. Frequently, an action can be brought against both the driver and the insurance company.

Anyone whose family has been affected by a truck accident needs a lawyer who has tremendous experience. At Kolker & Germeroth, L.L.C., we know how to lead the investigation into the cause of the accident and help you collect the maximum amount allowed under the law.

Truck Industry Regulations

Truckers and trucking companies must follow a whole host of state and federal regulations, covering everything from driver fatigue to weight limits to truck maintenance. If, in our investigation, we discover that they have violated any of these regulations, we can show that they are to blame.

Demonstrating the negligence of the truck drivers and companies is only part of our job. A lawyer must also show that he can take a case to court at any time. Only under the threat of litigation will opponents give up the full compensation you need. Because our attorneys are well-known for their trial experience, we frequently procure large settlements that cover a wide range of damages.

Types of Damages

Semi truck accidents are often more likely to cause serious injuries than are other types of motor vehicle accidents. Because of the sheer size of tractor trailers, catastrophic injuries and wrongful deaths are common. Compensation should go beyond just past medical expenses and lost wages -- it should also include money to cover future earnings and, in the case of debilitating injuries, future treatments.

Our attorneys use life care planning experts to determine how much money our clients will need in the future. We also put great emphasis on the affect serious injuries and deaths have on the victims' families. Our mission is help families in every way they can.
