Trucking companies have many duties of care and legal responsibilities over the safety of their transports. They must hire safe drivers, properly train them, inspect their fleets regularly and obey federal safety laws. If a trucking company violates any of these duties to save time or resources, it has committed negligence. When negligence causes preventable trucking accidents, victims and their loved ones may bring civil claims in Oregon.
If you or a loved one has a serious injury from a Hillsboro truck accident, contact the lawyers at Paulson Coletti Trial Attorneys PC for a free legal consultation. Our truck accident attorneys know how to navigate the specific laws these crash cases involve. We may be able to negotiate a settlement or positive verdict on your behalf.
You might think you could save time and money by handling truck accident claim negotiations on your own. Taking on an insurance company unrepresented, however, could encourage a corporation to talk you out of a fair settlement. Hiring a lawyer gives you the knowledge and skills to negotiate with an insurer for a higher settlement amount. A lawyer could help you secure better compensation for your truck accident injuries, even after the subtraction of his or her legal fees.
At Paulson Coletti, “liberty and justice for all” is more than just a phrase – it is our mandate. Our team of trial lawyers is driven to pursue justice for the injured, ensuring that the responsible parties are held accountable. With a high success rate both in and out of the courtroom, you can trust our Oregon personal injury lawyers to be the legal advocates you need so your voice can be heard.
In 2017, 2,833 traffic collisions in Oregon involved medium to heavy trucks. Most auto accidents in Oregon occur due to driver errors. At Paulson Coletti Trial Attorneys PC, we can return to the scene of your truck accident to search for clues as to fault. Our lawyers can preserve evidence such as the truck’s black box or the driver’s cellphone records. We can first determine the cause of your crash, then identify the defendant.
In most truck accident cases in Hillsboro, the company responsible for the truck and/or driver will be liable. Even if the truck driver was an independent contractor (rather than an employee) and the company leased the truck from another owner, federal law will hold the trucking company vicariously liable for damages. When also represent those who have been involved in motorcycle accidents and car accidents in Hillsboro. Our attorneys can help you fight against a powerful truck company in pursuit of fair compensation in Washington County.
“Most cases settle, but each of our cases is prepared as if it’s going to trial. The insurance companies know it and so do the defense lawyers defending them. That’s why we get such great results for our clients.”
