“Attorney Hicks treated me like I was part of his family.”
Accidents involving 18-wheelers, or even smaller commercial trucks, can be the most serious of all traffic accidents. Even at a relatively slow speed, a massive semi-truck can do a lot of damage to your car and to you. Trucking companies almost always have very large insurance policies, but this does not mean that they will pay out the money easily. A victim still has to prove the seriousness of his or her injuries and still has to prove that the truck driver was at fault.
If multiple vehicles are involved in the crash, even a large insurance policy may not be enough to fairly compensate everyone, and you will need aggressive representation to keep too much of the money from being paid to other people. Truck drivers have many strict regulations they must follow, but they do not always follow them. You need an experienced lawyer to research these regulations and identify signs that they were not being followed.
As the driver of a passenger vehicle, colliding with a large commercial truck such as an 18-wheeler can be life-threatening if not deadly. Most large commercial trucks weigh twenty times as much as the average passenger vehicle, and there are a number of factors that put commercial truck drivers at risk of causing an accident. If you or someone you love has been involved in a truck accident in Mesa, AZ, then your first step in protecting your rights and pursuing the compensation you deserve should be to contact an experienced attorney. The following are a few of the most common causes of truck accidents in Mesa, AZ:
In an effort to reduce the number of trucking accidents that occur each year across the country, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has implemented a number of rules and regulations for truck drivers and the companies that employ them.

Identifying the precise cause of a truck accident or the factors which contributed to it can be difficult, and proving that a federal regulation was violated can sometimes be even more difficult. An attorney with the right expertise will be able to conduct a thorough review of your case and determine what needs to happen in order to get you back to living your life in Mesa, AZ.
