Maximizing Recovery for Car Accidents and Truck Accidents
When you are injured in a motor vehicle accident, your ability to collect damages hinges on proving liability and finding insurance coverage. The Mayro Law Firm digs deep in both aspects of personal injury litigation. We have obtained compensation in seemingly hopeless cases by putting in the extra legwork to achieve justice for our clients–cases where the insurance company told me there was no insurance or where the accident didn’t happen like my clients said it did.
Philadelphia Area Car Accident? Free Consultation at 215-574-1220
I am a Philadelphia attorney with over 27 years of experience in all types of car accidents, from fender-benders with minor injuries to collisions with tractor-trailers resulting in permanent injury or death. I have access to investigators, biomechanical engineers and accident reconstruction experts who can respond quickly to preserve evidence. I am experienced at taking depositions of witnesses and the other driver. And I have a "hunting dog" mentality in seeking out and analyzing a persuasive way to maximize compensation for clients.
Car Accidents
Was the accident caused by another driver's negligent or aggressive driving? I look beyond the obvious to consider all possible factors. Did a government entity's negligence in road design or maintenance contribute to the crash? Were injuries more severe because of the failure or poor design of a roof support, seat belt, air bag or seatback? Did a third party's recklessness set off a chain of events?
Truck Accidents
Truck accidents often result in catastrophic injuries or fatalities. Recovering full damages requires knowledge of trucking industry practices and the federal regulations that govern truck drivers. I know what to look for to prove liability:
- Driver fatigue from exceeding allowable hours behind the wheel
- Inadequate training or negligent hiring of truckers with bad records
- Poorly maintained equipment (bald tires, bad brakes, broken lights)
- Speeding, lane changes, crossing the center line
- Wrongful death claims
I represented a client who was standing in the back of a broken down truck when it was struck by another vehicle with minimal insurance coverage. The client, a trucking company employee, was told he was limited to workers' compensation for his serious injuries. I tracked down the insurance policy and demonstrated that he was clearly covered by underinsured motorist coverage under the uninsured motorist/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) provisions. Result: my client obtained a six-figure settlement.
The additional effort we put into such cases can often pay off for our clients. For committed, compassionate and aggressive representation of your car accident claim, contact The Mayro Law Firm today at 215-574-1220. I offer a free case evaluation, including home or hospital visits.
