24-Hour Major Accident Response

Our defense team is well versed in the rapid-response, “Go Team” approach to trucking accidents. Clients are urged to contact us immediately when a serious accident occurs. We’ll quickly respond on the scene with an accident reconstruction engineer to gather time-sensitive forensic evidence, provide legal counsel to the vehicle operator, and coordinate with local law enforcement officials.

This approach has proven highly effective in protecting our clients’ legal interests if litigation later ensues. We stand by our clients before, during, and after an accident. Our lawyers have a proven record of success in the courtroom and at the mediation table.
