Truck accidents have the potential to be much more destructive than accidents involving passenger vehicles. In addition to the increased physical damage that a large vehicle can cause, semi-trailers containing hazardous chemicals or other dangerous freight pose a danger to anyone in the vicinity of a serious crash. Awareness of these risks has resulted in a complex network of rules and regulations that govern the safe transportation of cargo over the nation’s roadways. These laws also relate to assigning liability when injuries result from accidents involving tractor-trailers and other commercial vehicles.
At Ball, Kirk, & Holm, P.C., our truck accident attorneys know that this area of law changes rapidly as safety technology adapts to new challenges. Commercial carriers are required to meet all of the various requirements imposed by federal and state law, and violations at any level can result in a strong case for holding the carrier liable for damages resulting from accidents involving their drivers or equipment. We continually track changes in trucking law and we use this specialized knowledge to assemble a winning strategy in truck accident cases. Our reputation as professional litigators has earned us the respect of insurers throughout Iowa, and we can help you recover the maximum amount possible for your personal injury claim.
