Do you have a claim against a trucking company? Have you been in an accident involving a trailer-trailer? Have you been injured while working for a trucking company? Many of the large trucking companies use a variety of legal devices to shield themselves from liability for accidents on the highways and for injuries on the job. A truck driver may not even be an employee of the trucking company he appears to be driving for. He or she may be an independent owner-operator leased to another trucking company. Sometimes the leases are for one trip only. Brokers may be utilized to match companies, drivers and loads. All too often, however, when an accident occurs and someone is injured or killed no one is willing to accept responsibility.

And, unfortunately there are many financially irresponsible trucking companies operating in the United States . And, soon we may face claims against Mexican trucking companies.
