Truckers are under a lot of pressure to work long hours and complete their routes on time. Because of their employers' demands, drivers often make serious mistakes behind the wheel, putting car drivers and passengers at serious risk. Federal regulations are strict about shortcuts and illegal loads. Drivers and truck company owners are required to adhere to laws about time behind the wheel, number of breaks, and weight of the load they carry.
Don't Lose Twice In a Truck Accident
When an auto is involved with a truck in an accident, one outcome is certain: the auto loses. If you do not select Gordon & Elias as your truck accident lawyers, you could lose twice. Hiring dedicated truck accident attorneys may mean the difference of receiving tens of thousands of dollars or millions of dollars. Simply put, if you hire just any lawyers and not a truck accident law firm, you may be making a serious mistake.

Catastrophic Injuries When Safety Was Not a Priority
It does not matter what kind of truck is involved in your accident. They can include:
- Tanker Trucks - Oilfield Trucks- Pipe Haulers- Chemical Trucks and other trucks with trailers carrying hazardous materials
- Slow Moving - Log Trucks, Garbage Trucks, Dump Trucks, Cement Trucks, Gravel Trucks and Construction Zone Trucks entering and exiting a highway construction zone, Wide-Load Convoys, Bulldozers, Farm Equipment and slow moving Paving Equipment

- Most all other 18-wheeler, Big-Rig, Flatbeds, Tractor/Trailer combinations or any type truck that involves a pre-trip inspection.
Commercial Trucks Not Large In Size But With A Large Insurance Policy
Truck companies often carry a significant amount of insurance coverage on their drivers and trucks. That means victims of trucker negligence can seek higher money damages for their injuries and financial damages than in other accidents. Personal car insurance policies typically cover only the minimum required by Indiana law which is $25,000, but a commercial vehicle, such as a van, pick-up, tow truck, etc., usually carries policies of insurance coverage with much higher limits and you can be fairly and fully compensated when the driver is negligent.
If your truck accident happened in Indiana, it doesn't mean you have to retain an Indiana truck accident lawyer. The most important thing you can do for yourself is to hire a law firm that specializes in truck accidents. Often times, firms from other states seek our help and retain us because of our experience and knowledge of federal trucking laws.
