Kirkland Truck Accident Lawyer

Dedicated Legal Support for Truck Accident Victims in Kirkland, Bellevue, Everett & Greater Washington State

Any motor vehicle accident can be damaging and deadly, but crashes involving big trucks and tractor trailers can be especially dangerous. Due to their hefty weight and sheer size, semi-trucks can cause major damage to any other vehicle, pedestrian, or motorcycle that crosses their path. When drivers are inexperienced, under the influence of drugs or alcohol, simply careless, or if the truck was badly loaded or poorly maintained, it could cause a serious accident.

Unfortunately, trucking companies typically have substantial insurance coverage and teams of attorneys to fight personal injury claims laid against them. In order to go up against these trucking companies, you need to work with an experienced, committed Kirkland truck accident lawyer. Attorney Robert Kornfeld is prepared to provide you with the guidance, representation, and comprehensive help you need to recover.

Call Lindquist & Kornfeld today at (425) 657-5255. Our Kirkland truck accident lawyer wants to help you fight for the compensation you deserve!

Identifying Common Causes of Truck Accidents in Washington State

All truck companies, operators, and drivers have a duty to adhere to the rules of the road, as well as state and federal trucking regulations. When negligence occurs and rules are broken, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries.

  • Improperly maintained vehicles
  • Tired or distracted drivers
  • Rollover accidents from lane changes
  • Loss of load or haul
  • Poorly loaded or secured cargo
  • Tire, brake, or other mechanical failure
