The entire event takes no more than a few seconds. Your spouse or your child was driving down I-84 or Highway 7, minding his or her own business. Minutes later, the car is totaled and your loved one is in the hospital. A few weeks later, and the extent of the damage is clear. At the Law Offices of Harvey Kulawitz, I understand how those few seconds can change a life forever.

Truck Accident Cases

Truck accident cases are similar to car accident cases. However, they do have major differences. First, truck accident cases are more complex. There are many commercial entities involved, including the truck leasing company, the driver, the driver's employer, and the owner of the products being shipped. Tracking down each entity to assign responsibility can be a challenge. I investigate the background of the driver, how long he or she has been working, his or her work schedule, and how long the driver was driving on the day and week in question.

Fortunately, I have handled many 18-wheeler accident cases. I know which people to investigate and which documents to request. Since many of these commercial entities are outside of Connecticut, I know how to deal with the issues that arise when suing someone from out of state.

The second difference is in the amount of damage. Trucks are usually far larger and heavier than cars. Consequently, the injuries sustained are far worse. Traumatic brain injury, paralysis, and wrongful death are not uncommon. I make sure that everyone involved understands the extent of the pain, suffering, wage loss, and long-term damage that my client has suffered so that I can get them a fair settlement or award.
