The trucking industry is highly regulated by state and federal law. Despite this, violations often occur that cause serious injury or wrongful death to other drivers. At the Charleston law firm of Uricchio, Howe, Krell, Jacobson, Toporek & Keith P.A., our lawyers help people who have been injured in all types of trucking accidents. We are known not only for the results we obtain for clients, but also for our advocacy around trucking safety issues.
Thorough analysis and honest advice
Our cases usually turn on issues such as operating the truck in an unsafe manner, loading the truck improperly, training the driver incorrectly or failing to use safety equipment as directed. Whatever the cause of the accident, our law firm puts the best interests of clients first. We will discuss the case with you and analyze its merits, providing you with an honest evaluation of your likelihood of obtaining compensation.
Using experts and specialists to build a strong case
We use all the resources at our disposal to pursue the compensation you need and deserve. We investigate the accident and work with accident reconstruction specialists to determine who was at fault. We determine whether the truck driver had a valid commercial driver’s license. We analyze the black box and the driver’s logs to be sure that laws limiting the number of driving hours were not violated.
