Toronto Truck Accident Lawyers
When a tractor trailer or other large commercial truck collides with a passenger vehicle, the passengers of the smaller vehicle are likely to suffer significant injuries.
The personal injury lawyers of McLeish Orlando LLP represent people throughout southern Ontario who were seriously injured in truck accidents. We also represent the families of those who died in large truck and tractor trailer accidents. We have successfully resolved numerous truck accident claims.
The Ontario Ministry of Transportation reported 149 people died and 2,807 people sustained a personal injury in 2006 in collisions involving large trucks.
Our lawyers will review the case to determine the cause of the accident. We will explore all the possibilities, including:
- Driver fatigue
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Improper loading
- Improper maintenance
- Failure to comply with all applicable Ministry of Transportation regulations
Building a Case for Compensation
In truck accident claims, we typically retain an investigator and an accident reconstructionist to determine what happened and who is responsible for the accident. We may track down and interview witnesses, review police reports, interview the officers who investigated the accident and obtain data from the truck's "black box," the electronic control module.
We will also investigate all possible sources of financial compensation. This may include the truck driver, the trucking company, the owner of the tractor, the owner of the trailer, the maintenance shop and others.
Our lawyers will leave no stone unturned in our effort to obtain maximum financial compensation and accident benefits for our clients. To arrange a free initial consultation, please contact us by e-mail or call toll free 888-494-8201.
