Were you recently involved in an auto accident involving an 18-wheeler? You may be eligible for a monetary settlement or award from the driver, trucking
company, or other liable parties.

Parties Potentially Responsible for Your 18-Wheeler Accident
When a car accident involves an 18-wheeler, the damages—in terms of both injuries and vehicle and property loss—tend to be substantial. The size, weight, and power difference between an 18-wheeler and just about any other vehicle on the road (even a large truck or SUV) is so significant that the other vehicle or vehicles involved in the crash, typically bear the brunt of impact.
At Bressman Law, our team understands that you are likely in a lot of pain and that you have suffered a lot of loss on many levels from your 18-wheeler accident. You may be undergoing extensive medical care—which, undoubtedly, will lead to substantial bills. You may be out of work due to your injuries, potentially for a long time. You may be in substantial physical pain and your family and loved ones may be facing the burden of dealing with your care.
The cascade effects from such a major accident can be enough to overwhelm even the toughest and most prepared among us. A Newark 18-wheeler lawyer at Bressman Law can help you fight for all available damages.
We find it unacceptable for an injured victim ever to have to pay out of pocket to pay for medical care, and we reject the idea that they or their loved ones should have to suffer from a loss of income or lack of ability to work.
This is why we work so hard to identify the responsible party (or parties) and hold them liable for your truck accident injuries. Call (614) 538-1116 to learn how Bressman Law can help you pursue compensation from:
The Truck Driver
We will investigate the driver of the 18-wheeler that hit you to determine if they violated a traffic law or engaged in negligent or careless behavior behind the wheel, including drunk or distracted driving. We will look at police reports, talk to witnesses, and review photo and video evidence. If necessary to prove our case, we will bring in expert witnesses and order a reconstruction of the accident. We will also look at the driver’s logbook to determine if they violated any industry-specific regulations, such as driving for too many hours without rest.
The Trucking Company
If the truck driver was at fault for your accident, the company that employs or contracts with them may have vicarious liability for your injuries. We will hold them accountable and fight to secure compensation from them and their insurance company.
The Truck Manufacturer
If the truck itself had a flaw or defect that caused or contributed to the accident, we may be able to hold the manufacturer liable for damages, even if they did not exhibit clear or obvious negligence in building or designing the truck.
There may be additional liable parties beyond those listed above, so meet with a lawyer from Bressman Law as soon as possible so we can investigate and find those parties. If someone’s actions or negligence contributed to your accident, we will identify them and hold them liable. Our team will fight for the compensation you deserve and we do not collect a dime until we get it for you.
