Truck Accident

With such a huge disparity in size, tractor-trailer accidents often result in the most devastating of all motor vehicle accidents. Truck drivers have a responsibility to maintain safety in all conditions. If you have suffered a personal injury in a tractor-trailer accident, you want an experienced lawyer to protect your rights. At the Hurley Law Firm in Norfolk, we protect the rights of injured motorists throughout Virginia to include: Norfolk,Virginia Beach, Portsmouth, Chesapeake, Hampton, Newport News, Suffolk and Eastern Shore.

The terrible injuries and deaths suffered in truck accidents are unnecessary and many of them could have been prevented through proper safety measures. If you were hit by a commercial truck or have lost a loved one to a reckless truck driver, we can confidently handle your claim.

Due to their inherent danger, one must have a special license to drive an 18-wheeler. You may not know what your options are after your truck accident, but you do not have to fight the insurance companies on your own. At the Hurley Law Firm, we can help you understand your options and take meaningful action.

Trucking accidents can be caused by a number of different factors. From drivers falling asleep at the wheel to poorly maintained trucks to load shifting, there are many potential issues in a truck accident. Sometimes, a truck driver may even be drinking or using drugs while driving. We get to the bottom of the factors that led to your truck accident:

• Drowsy driving
• Driver fatigue
• Careless driving
• Poorly maintained trucks
• Loads shifting
• Drunk driving
• Drug use
• Falling asleep at the wheel

With big rigs on interstates such as I-64, I-664 and I-264, these truck wrecks can happen to anyone in Virginia. We can help you protect your rights in court when you want to take on the insurance companies and the truck driver responsible for your serious personal injury.
