Get The Compensation You Deserve With Our Minnesota Truck Accident Attorneys
From the Great Lakes to the Great Plains, Interstate 94 bisects the tall state of Minnesota. As one of the major shipping corridors across the Upper Midwest, I-94 is full of commercial tractor-trailers. Weighing more than 15 times what your car or SUV does, it’s unlikely that you’ll easily walk away from the accident when you get into a collision with a semi. Many truck accidents are caused by driver negligence, like distracted or intoxicated driving, poor training, or failure to follow appropriate federal guidelines for safe travel. If you’ve been hurt in a collision, our Minnesota Interstate 94 truck accident lawyer can help you.

Our Firm Handles The Toughest Truck Accident Claims
Truck accident cases have more legal complications and issues than collisions between two private drivers. Therefore, it’s important to work with attorneys who understand potential complications and have the resources and experience necessary to address them properly. We do, and we’ve repeatedly demonstrated our depth of knowledge of Minnesota personal injury law and federal trucking regulations.
One matter that sets semi-truck accident claims apart is that there are likely multiple defendants: the truckers themselves and the trucking company they’re driving for. Even if the trucker is a contracted driver and not a direct employee, the trucking company can be held liable for failing to do due diligence in selecting them. Under the legal principle of vicarious liability, we can file a suit against both the trucker and the carrier. In some cases, another party may come into play, too: the cargo loaders and/or any mechanic who worked on the truck or the truck manufacturer.
Our Minnesota Interstate 94 truck accident lawyer carefully reviews the evidence in your case to determine all liable parties. Then, we build cases against each one, demanding they compensate you for their negligence.
What To Expect In A Truck Accident Case
Don’t be surprised if you’re approached by an agent representing the trucking company or its insurance carrier soon after the crash. They’re usually seeking information from you that they can use to deny or minimize your claim. If they can’t do that, then they may offer you a fast settlement, but it’s usually much less than your case is truly worth, especially if there’s a chance for punitive damages. Don’t sign anything without talking to our Minnesota Interstate 94 truck accident lawyer. Our years of experience means we can properly value your claim and ensure any settlement offer reflects its true value.
