Understanding Your Semi-Truck Accident Claim with Hector Peña
Semi-truck accident cases are significantly more complex due to several factors. They often involve severe injuries, multiple liable parties (e.g., the driver, trucking company, cargo loader, manufacturer), and a web of federal regulations (FMCSA) in addition to state laws. The trucking companies also have large legal teams and insurance policies. Hector Peña's specialized experience in these cases allows him to meticulously navigate these complexities and effectively challenge powerful corporations.
Crucial evidence in these cases includes the truck's "black box" data, driver logs, maintenance records, police reports, witness statements, accident reconstruction, and even the truck's cargo manifest. Hector Peña will personally lead a thorough investigation, leveraging his expertise to preserve and collect this critical evidence, often working with accident reconstructionists and other experts to build an irrefutable case.
You should never speak with or provide a statement to the trucking company's insurer without first consulting your own attorney. Their primary goal is to minimize their financial liability, not to ensure you receive fair compensation. Politely decline to speak with them and refer them directly to Hector Peña Law Firm. Hector will handle all communications, protecting your rights and ensuring you don't inadvertently harm your claim.
