Aggressive Truck Accident Lawyers
At the law offices of Winters & Yonker, PSC, we are known as "the aggressive attorneys." Indeed, we work aggressively to represent the rights of truck accident victims. Our clients often come to us from communities throughout Kentucky. As personal injury lawyers, we strive to ensure that our clients receive the highest quality medical care available. We work to help them obtain full and fair compensation for losses and expenses associated with the injury.
The Semi Tractor Trailer Collision
Typically, someone injured in a Kentucky area truck accident is in a coma from the time of the impact, and may have no memory of the crash. Our attorneys work closely with investigators who examine evidence to discover the truth about the accident and / or the injury.
Topics of interest to our truck accident lawyers include the following:
- Overcrowded New Albany area traffic conditions, with no way of escape for cars when a truck turns without signaling
- Improper lane changes or turns
- Violation of right of way of other vehicles on I-65, I-64, I-265, or other streets or highways
- Transportation of hazardous chemicals, which can spill and cause inhalation injuries
- Railroad crossing accidents
- Fire or explosion resulting from the collision of a truck and a car or van
- Faulty tires, brakes, steering, or trailer couplings
- Poor traction on snowy or icy roads
- Driver exhaustion
- Poor training of the driver
- Improper or nonexistent safety inspections
Short-Term and Long-Term Needs of the Truck Accident Victim
When our attorneys are asked to represent a truck accident victim in the Kentucky area or elsewhere (such as in the area of Corydon or Sellersburg), we consider the needs of the victim to be our top priority. From the beginning of a case, we help the injured person gain access to top quality medical care, and make sure that medical bills are paid by responsible insurers.
Winters & Yonker, PSC, works to develop compelling cases on behalf of truck accident victims in or near Kentucky. Some have long-term disabilities because of a spinal cord injury or a traumatic brain injury. Life care planners assist our law firm in preparing accurate estimates of the lifelong care and rehabilitation costs that the injured person is likely to face.
When a Kentucky Area Truck Wreck is Fatal
Unfortunately, many tractor trailer accident victims die at the time of a crash, or in the days or weeks following. Surviving family members may be left with great losses and a seemingly never-ending list of expenses. The medical bills, funeral costs, loss of income of the person who was killed, and pain and suffering are all compensable through a wrongful death claim or lawsuit. Our aggressive truck accident lawyers zealously and compassionately represent Kentucky family members through wrongful death claims and lawsuits.
