North Dakota Truck Accident Lawyers

Helping truck crash victims and families get the compensation they need

The heavy volume of this highway poses a potential risk for truck drivers and other motorists.

How do I prove fault in truck accidents?

When you secure the services of Larson Law, you receive comprehensive legal services from a knowledgeable and experienced legal team. We understand that insurance companies are regularly inundated with personal injury claims. We seek to overcome this challenge with detailed investigations, focused on proving fault through as many facts as possible.

Our skilled North Dakota trucking accident lawyers begin building your case by analyzing factors that may have caused the catastrophic or fatal accident. We may subpoena driver’s logs and vehicle maintenance records to determine if the driver took proper rest breaks and if the truck was serviced properly. Our legal team gathers critical evidence to determine the cause of 18-wheeler accidents, which may include such circumstances as:

• Driver fatigue. Truck drivers are supposed to abide by strict regulations pertaining to the number of hours they operate their vehicles and periods of rest. When they violate these rules, truck drivers place themselves and everyone on the roadway in danger.
• Roadway impediments. Poorly marked road signs or construction detours can cause serious trucking accidents. Under these circumstances, a government entity may be responsible for resulting injuries.
• Trailer-related accidents. Swinging and swaying trailers can cause a lot of damage. They can also hurt a lot of people, either by striking other vehicles or by causing a trucker to lose control of the rig. Whether the collision is the result of negligence or a defect, we can help.
• Mechanical errors. Trucks weigh thousands of pounds, and it is vitally important that they be maintained in an appropriate manner. Brake and tire defects, as well as poor truck maintenance, can cause the truck to malfunction and cause an accident.
• Negligent driving. Truck driver negligence is a leading cause of truck accidents. New truck drivers may be inadequately trained to properly handle these large vehicles. Drivers may also exceed posted speed limits or follow too closely behind other vehicles. Driving under the influence is also a growing problem within the trucking industry.
• Improper supervision. All truck drivers should have their vehicles and their loads inspected before they hit the road. If a truck is overloaded, or if the cargo is improperly loaded, the truck can tip and materials can fall out. If a truck leaves a depot without being inspected for defects in tires, emissions, brakes, etc., everyone is at risk.

Reputable law firm holding negligent parties responsible

When determining fault, our knowledgeable North Dakota truck accident lawyers often consult accident scene re-constructionists to evaluate property damage and gauge how the accident occurred. We also meet with eyewitnesses to help substantiate the evidence and prove fault. The at-fault party may be the truck driver or the trucking company, or some combination of both. Truck accident cases can be very complicated, which is why it is so important to be represented by an attorney with the skill and experience to get the results you need.

Attorney Mark Larson is a civil trial specialist certified by the National Board of Trial Advocacy with many years of experience in personal injury, and is well prepared to obtain a maximum recovery for truck accident victims and their families. If you were injured by a utility truck, a flatbed, a big-rig, or any other commercial vehicle, we want to help you obtain the compensation you need to move forward.
