Trucking Accidents

Washington State Truck Accident Lawyer

Trucking accidents or 18 wheeler crashes often result in serious injuries to the occupants of lighter, smaller automobiles. These injuries can include broken bones, devastating back, neck and spinal cord injuries, as well as traumatic brain injury. Since trucking accidents tend to result in large damage awards, they are vigorously defended by insurance companies. However, in almost all cases, the big-rig driver, his employer, and the insurance company will attempt to shift the blame for the accident onto the driver of the car so that they can minimize the amount of money they will have to pay.

If you have been injured in a semi-truck wreck or are the family member of someone who has been killed in a fatal truck accident, you need an attorney who is willing to fight for you to secure the compensation that adequately compensates you for any losses.

I'm John Polito, a lawyer in Bellevue, Washington, who handles all types of motor vehicle wreck cases, including big rig accidents. I have nearly 20 years of experience helping car accident victims in Seattle, Redmond, Kirkland, Tacoma, and other cities in western Washington state obtain compensation for medical bills, wage loss, pain and suffering, loss to your relationship with a spouse and children, and out-of-pocket expenses.

In a semi truck wreck case, it is crucial to know how to fully establish liability and damages. Your lawyer will need to hire the right experts to establish such factors as maintenance standards on the truck, driver hiring practices, driver training, drug testing, weight restrictions, and whether the truck was overloaded or had an unbalanced load. Your lawyer will also need to consult with highway design experts in the event there was inadequately maintained or unsafe highway that failed to protect the public. I understand what it takes to build a successful trucking accident case, and will utilize all the resources at my disposal in order to assist you with your claim.

To establish damages, your lawyer needs to hire the proper medical experts to treat you for your injuries. I am able to consult with experts and in some cases, I even hire life care planners to assist me in determining a client’s long term care costs.

When you call my office you will speak directly with me. I will handle your case from start to finish, and will work hard to recover the compensation you need to cover expensive medical bills and lost wages. For truck accidents and all other personal injury cases, there are no attorney fees unless I recover compensation for you.
