Heavy Truck Accidents

Forrest & Bourne is Uniquely Capable to Successfully Pursue a Heavy Truck Accident Claim

An accident involving a heavy truck or tractor-trailer is never minor. Due to the large size and weight of commercial trucks, accidents between them and regular passenger vehicles almost always result in serious injury or death to some participant. These cases require accident reconstruction analysis directed to the unique physical and engineering characteristics of these vehicles. Mechanical condition and the safety record of the truck must be added to the equation. In some cases, a dangerous highway design may be a source of liability.

At Forrest & Bourne, we are attorneys with the experience to effectively pursue a successful resolution in tragic truck accident cases occurring in Indiana and Kentucky. Compensatory damages can include wrongful death, pain and suffering, medical expenses and lost earnings. Our experience with mechanical engineering allow us to accurately evaluate the difficult accident reconstruction and engineering issues that truck accident cases present. In addition, our thorough understanding of negligence principles, commercial insurance, driver hours of service requirements, and federal regulations such as drug and alcohol testing ensures that we will cover every avenue of liability to most successfully pursue your case.
