Indiana Lawyer for Serious Semi Accidents
The area outside of Chicago, near Merrillville, Indiana, serves as the crossroads of the nation. Routes 30 and 41, as well as Interstates 65 and 80, are heavily used for trucking. Semis travel on them constantly and, while many truckers are cautious, some truckers' negligent actions cause serious and even fatal accidents.
At The Law Offices of Matthew D. LaTulip, we represent semi accident victims in personal injury litigation. Our clients include both the drivers and passengers of smaller vehicles, like cars and trucks that are no match for 18 wheelers, as well as, operators of a semi that fell victim to the negligence of another semi operator. Regarding smaller vehicles impacted by Semi-Trucks, their vehicles are often totally destroyed, leaving them with serious injuries, including brain and spinal cord injuries.
What Goes Into Preparing a Successful Semi-Accident Case for Trial?
The best way to win a semi-accident case is to prepare it for the courtroom from day one. At the Law Offices of Matthew D. LaTulip, our focus is on going to trial. We conduct thorough investigations of all the facts and laws involved in your case. We often visit the scene of a crash and take photos. We talk with key witnesses, collect evidence and review travel logs.
Log books and weigh stations are required by law and they often reveal important information. They may show that a tractor trailer was carrying too much weight, preventing it from stopping in time. Close inspection may also reveal that the semi was traveling too fast or that the driver was sleep deprived before a wreck.
We also work with a network of experts to help build strong and successful cases. These include treating physicians, accident reconstructionists, economists, vocational rehabilitation experts, and even physicists who can testify about a collision and its harmful effects on you.
This extensive preparation often leads to surprising results — the more we prepare for trial, the more we actually avoid it.
