If you have suffered personal injury or lost a loved one in a truck accident, you are not alone. Indeed, in 2005, approximately one in eight traffic fatalities involved a crash with a large truck. Although nothing can truly make up for the trauma of injury or loss, truck accident victims may be entitled to financial compensation for their injuries, pain, and suffering – compensatory damages that can minimize the emotional and economic hardships a victim faces during his or her recovery. At Lohman Law Firm, we are intimately familiar with the laws pertaining to truck accidents. Our truck accident attorneys, lawyers based in Louisville, Kentucky, provide legal counsel of the highest caliber. We will take aggressive legal action on your behalf.
Most truck accidents involve a collision between a big rig, 18-wheeler, semi tractor trailer, or other large commercial truck and a passenger car, motorcycle, or another comparatively small motor vehicle. In some cases, the operator of the large truck simply loses control and strikes a pedestrian or some other non-motorist. In any case, truck accidents can cause significant property damage, catastrophic personal injury, and even wrongful death.
If you or someone you love has been injured in a truck accident, our attorneys can help. Our lawyers serve Louisville, Kentucky and surrounding areas. Contact Lohman Law Offices today to schedule a case evaluation.
