Boise Idaho, Semi-Truck Accident Attorney
If you have been involved in a serious semi-truck accident, you need to speak with an attorney right away. Although personal injury lawyers are frequently accused of ambulance chasing, it is often the insurance companies who will show up in your hospital room, pressuring you to agree to a much smaller settlement than you need or deserve. Many commercial trucking companies are self-insured, so they will drag out the process and fight you every step of the way.
At Goicoechea Law Offices, we have the confidence, skill, and resources to go head to head with these insurance companies. If you or a loved one has been involved in a tractor-trailer wreck, contact our Nampa, Idaho, law firm today to speak directly with a professional semi-truck accident lawyer about your individual recovery needs in a free consultation.
Our attorneys have thirty years of legal practice experience serving clients throughout Idaho and Eastern Oregon who have been involved in semi-truck roll overs, jack knifes, head-on collisions, or other 18-wheeler accidents resulting from:
- Repair negligence or improper maintenance
- Over loaded truck
- Unbalanced load
- Overdriving
- Driving too long
- Inadequate mirrors and lighting
- Keeping pets in the cab
In some instances, we are able to prove punitive damages due to the large number of violations for which the truck driver is at fault. Some semi-truck drivers will go to all lengths in order to remain on the road, including keeping two sets of books and taking stimulants to stay awake. Tired drivers behave similarly to drunk drivers. When a tired big-rig driver loses control, the consequences can be catastrophic to a smaller vehicle and its passengers.
It is crucial that you have an advocate who will act promptly on your behalf. At Goicoechea Law Offices, we get our investigators on the scene right away. We work with the state police and other experts to examine the scene and the facts of the case and take immediate action to ensure your case is handled properly so you get the coverage and care you need.
Even if you think there is no avenue for recovery, we will exhaust every opportunity available under the law to ensure you are fairly compensated. Our firm has successfully handled injury lawsuits against uninsured and bankrupt commercial trucking companies.
Trust our experience. Contact our law office today to speak directly with a reputable, attentive, and honest semi-truck accident attorney about your individual legal needs. We handle all personal injury cases on a contingency basis. This means that we only take a fee when we win a settlement or verdict for you.
