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.
