Boise Valley Semi-Truck Accident Lawyer
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 a Boise Valley semi-truck accident attorney today to discuss your recovery needs in a free consultation.
Common Causes of Truck Accidents
Our attorneys have more than 30 years of legal practice experience serving clients throughout Idaho and Eastern Oregon who have been involved in semi-truck rollovers, jackknifes, head-on collisions, or other 18-wheeler accidents resulting from:
- Repair negligence or improper maintenance
- Overloaded truck
- Unbalanced load
- Overdriving
- Driving too long
- Driver fatigue
- 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.
