Striving for Justice to Be Served Following a Trucking Accident
No one will claim that being a truck driver is an easy occupation or life. Long hours on the road. Days away from home. Pressure from their employers. All that can add up to shortcuts being made in the form of unsecured loads, excessive speeds, or sleep deprivation. That can result in you suffering serious injuries in a trucking accident.

- Most all other 18-wheeler, Big-Rig, Flatbeds, Tractor/Trailer combinations or any type truck that involves a pre-trip inspection.
Seeking Compensation That Reflects Your Injuries
Commercial truck insurance is larger than auto accident policies, resulting in more significant settlements. Your personal auto policy is sometimes as low as the Vermont state mandatory minimum limits require of $25,000, limiting the money you receive for damages. However, a commercial vehicle, usually carries policies of insurance coverage with much higher limits and you can be fairly and fully compensated when the driver is negligent.
