Client Review

Review stars

Chris Martineau is our lawyer and we have worked together for the past 5 years. From the moment we (my husband and I) started working together, the thing that was apparent and that we respected most about Chris was his honesty and knowledge. He did not mince words or waste time. As time went on, his integrity was clearly transparent as well. We are extremely fortunate to work with Chris.

18-Wheeler Accident Lawyer Roseville, MN

With only a few exceptions, 18-wheelers are the heftiest vehicles on the roadway. Not only are they oftentimes the longest with the most height, but the heaviest as well. This means that when a truck accident occurs, there is so much more sheer force that gets slammed into the other vehicle. Those inside passenger vehicles are likely to sustain critical injuries that can leave them with impairments. The medical bills, property damage, and financial loss can be insurmountable for victims. At Johnston | Martineau PLL, we are here to advocate strongly for victims who were wrongfully hurt in serious accidents. If this is the case for you or a loved one, we urge you to contact our Roseville, MN 18-wheeler accident lawyer for representation and more information about compensation that may be owed to you. 

Types Of Truck Accidents

There are many reasons why an accident with an 18-wheeler truck may happen. Most commonly, these accidents entail a jackknife, rollover, wide turn, blown tire, underride, or lost load. When an 18-wheeler jackknifes, the truck cab stays pointed in the direction it was going while the trailer swings, becoming at an angle to the cab. As this is happening, the truck can collide with, crush, or trap other vehicles in its wake. If a truck driver fails to slow down on off-ramps or curves, doesn’t consider the weight of the truck load, or the vehicle has worn or faulty brakes, this can cause a rollover to occur. These large trucks have to make wide turns, particularly to the right. A poorly executed turn can result in oncoming traffic getting hit. An underride happens because tractor-trailers are lifted higher than passenger vehicles. Cars or motorcycles can get trapped on the rear or side of the truck trailer. Trucks may be carrying tons of materials and traveling at high speeds over long distances. Truckers have to abide by regulations when securing cargo, as material that falls from the truck can land on other vehicles or become a hazard on the roadway. 

Compensation For Injuries

Anyone who is involved in an accident with an 18-wheeler truck is likely to sustain very serious injuries that require medical care. In these situations, victims should not have to pay for medical bills and other losses that were a result of the accident. Our dedicated 18-wheeler accident attorney can seek compensation for your losses from the parties at fault. The truck driver may be responsible, but it is possible that other parties share liability. We can investigate further to uncover who to pursue restitution from. Examples of other parties could be part manufacturers, the trucking company, or the city if they failed to attend to road potholes or defects. 

Get Help Today

We cannot emphasize enough how important it is that you get help from our Roseville 18-wheeler accident attorney at this time. Unfortunately, many victims end up not being compensated fairly and then suffer financially when the incident should have never happened in the first place. If you have questions in the aftermath of a serious truck collision, now is the time to speak with our team at Johnston | Martineau PLLP.
