Booneville Truck Accident Attorneys
In order to build a successful 18-wheeler accident case, it is necessary to determine exactly why the accident happened. For that reason, at the Michael Law Firm, we take great care to conduct a thorough investigation as soon as possible. In many cases, our investigation quickly reveals that the truck driver was driving drunk or under the influence of drugs.
With more than 25 years of experience on our side, our lawyers know the steps to take to hold truck drivers accountable for drinking and driving accidents or drugged driving accidents. We will work hard to get you compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, and any other costs associated with the trucking accident.
Drug Use and Trucking Accidents
Drug use causes many trucking accidents in Booneville and throughout Northeast Mississippi, perhaps even more than alcohol consumption. Truck drivers are not simply using marijuana and other drugs recreationally. They are taking prescription stimulants illegally, attempting to combat fatigue so they can spend more hours on the road and make more money.
Holding Truck Drivers and Trucking Companies Accountable
Truck drivers are responsible for their behavior behind the wheel. Trucking companies are responsible for their employees. In many cases, our investigation reveals that the driver should not have been on the road in the first place, and would not have been if the trucking company had done a proper background check.
If we discover that a driver had a history of drunk driving offenses or drug use, we will add that fact to our case. Our goal is to make it very clear to our opponent that negligence took place and the truck accident victim needs full compensation. If we are not able to get a fair settlement, we will take the case to trial to get you what you deserve.
