Trucking Accidents

Understanding the Risks

Large trucks pose a significant threat to smaller vehicles on the road. Statistics reveal that over 70% of those injured and over 80% of those killed in large truck collisions are occupants of smaller vehicles. At Proctor and Malone, we support those affected by these devastating accidents and offer unwavering support to help navigate the aftermath.

Common Causes and Consequences

  • Speeding and Traffic Violations: Reckless driving habits significantly increase the likelihood of accidents.

Personal Injury and Wrongful Death

Championing Public Welfare

Personal injury law addresses the compensation for individuals who have suffered injury or death due to wrongful conduct. At Proctor and Malone, our commitment to public welfare drives our dedication to personal injury cases. We advocate tirelessly for those who have been wrongfully harmed, striving to secure the justice and compensation they deserve.

Combatting Negligence and Recklessness

In cases of personal injury and wrongful death, negligence and recklessness often play a pivotal role. Truck accidents, for instance, may involve drivers under the influence of illegal substances, leading to devastating consequences. Our legal team holds trucking companies accountable for failing to enforce mandatory substance abuse screenings, ensuring justice for victims and their families.

Seeking Compensation for Losses

When tragedy strikes, victims and their families are entitled to compensation for their losses. Wrongful death beneficiaries have a legal right to seek damages for medical expenses, funeral costs, loss of income, and loss of consortium. Our attorneys diligently pursue recovery for our clients, advocating for compensation that reflects the full extent of their losses and suffering.

Your Path to Justice

Taking swift action is crucial in case of injury or wrongful death. It's essential to contact an attorney promptly to ensure that evidence is preserved, witnesses are interviewed, and legal proceedings are initiated without any delay. At Proctor and Malone, we prioritize your case right from the start and work tirelessly to achieve a favorable outcome through settlement, mediation, or trial.
