Columbia, Missouri Truck Accident Lawyer

Missouri Tractor-Trailer Accident Attorney

In an accident between a commercial truck and a regular passenger vehicle, the potential for serious injury goes up dramatically simply due to the size disparity in the vehicles involved. Professional truck drivers should be held to a higher standard than other drivers on the road. They have undergone special training and carry the added responsibility of handling their vehicles in a way that ensures the safety of other motorists.

Any failure in truck driver responsibility can have catastrophic results. If you have been injured or a loved one has been killed in an accident that was caused due to the negligent actions of a truck driver, be sure that you have an experienced Columbia, Missouri, truck accident attorney representing you. At the Bley & Evans, LC, we have extensive experience helping clients in a variety of trucking accidents that happen on busy roadways, including I-70, I-35, I-44, US Highway 63 and other public roadways.

Holding All Responsible Parties Accountable

Trucking accident cases can be quite complex because there are often multiple parties who may be held accountable for your injuries. In addition to the driver and the driver's employer, other parties could also be held liable. We will identify everyone that could share in the responsibility and seek to hold them accountable.

With every case we take, we conduct a thorough investigation. We look at the driver's log books, record of disciplinary actions and any history of Motor Carrier Safety Regulation violations. We will bring in any necessary experts to help us build the strongest possible case to support your claim and work quickly to preserve as much evidence as we can.
