Truck Accidents And Semi-Truck Accidents
Large commercial vehicles, like the 18-wheeler, semi-truck, travel our congested roads and freeways at all hours of the day. If a collision with one of these trucks happens, Point Law Group, LLP has the experience and qualifications to litigate disputes arising out of injuries that may have occurred. Large truck accident cases are different than car accident cases because they often involve more than one liable party, may involve out-of-state companies, and may be subject to special state and federal safety regulations. If you are injured in an accident involving a commercial vehicle, Point Law Group, LLP can help you seek justice by securing a full and fair compensation for you and your family.
