Truck accidents are among the most devastating road incidents, often resulting in severe injuries or fatalities. The legal process surrounding these accidents can be complex due to the involvement of various parties and regulations. In such situations, the expertise and guidance of a law firm like Tedford & Associates are invaluable.
One of the primary challenges in truck accident cases is identifying liable parties. Unlike typical car accidents, truck accidents might involve not just the driver but also the trucking company, manufacturers of trucking parts, or even government entities responsible for road maintenance. Each of these entities can be held responsible under different circumstances. Tedford & Associates specializes in investigating these accidents to determine all possible liable parties, ensuring that their clients have a comprehensive claim.
Federal and state regulations govern the trucking industry, and violations of these regulations often contribute to accidents. The attorneys at Tedford & Associates are well-versed in these regulations, including driver hours of service, maintenance requirements, and load restrictions. This knowledge is crucial in proving negligence or regulatory violations in a truck accident case.
The severity of injuries in truck accidents typically leads to significant medical expenses, lost wages, and long-term rehabilitation needs. Calculating these damages accurately is essential for ensuring fair compensation. Tedford & Associates has the expertise to assess the full extent of the damages, including future medical costs and non-economic damages like pain and suffering.
Negotiating with insurance companies is another critical aspect of truck accident cases. These companies often employ tactics to minimize payouts. The skilled negotiators at Tedford & Associates understand these tactics and are prepared to counter them effectively, ensuring that their clients’ rights are protected and that they receive the compensation they deserve.
In cases where settlement negotiations fail, Tedford & Associates is prepared to take the case to trial. Their experienced trial attorneys are adept at presenting compelling arguments and evidence to a judge or jury, advocating strongly on behalf of their clients.
Beyond legal representation, Tedford & Associates provides compassionate support to their clients. They understand the emotional and physical toll of being involved in a truck accident and strive to make the legal process as stress-free as possible for their clients. This empathetic approach is a hallmark of their practice and is crucial for clients navigating the aftermath of a traumatic event.

With Tedford & Associates, victims gain a team equipped with the necessary legal expertise, dedication, and compassion to navigate these challenging cases.
