It’s not uncommon for large commercial trucks such as 18-wheelers to barrel down the highway at excessive speeds . The massive weight of a speeding truck can cause serious injuries and death in a crash, however. Whether you suffered a permanent injury or lost a loved one, your life can be turned upside down after one of these wrecks.

There is no question that your injuries have caused you a great deal of physical pain and emotional suffering. Just as serious, the financial repercussions may leave you with a lifetime of debt, making it impossible to pay your bills. To help you recoup damages for your monetary losses and emotional suffering, a Boise speeding truck accident lawyer from Craig Swapp & Associates will work to recover the compensation you deserve.

Proving the Trucker’s Speeding

To limit their financial liability, trucking companies and insurers often attempt to deflect responsibility and confuse who caused the trucking wreck . For example, the truck driver may claim that you were following too closely or that you cut him or her off. In any event, we will work hard to protect your rights.

An attorney from our firm will investigate your case by reconstructing the scene; interviewing witnesses; and collecting surveillance footage, GPS data, rest logs, odometer readings, and other evidence to build an effective case against the speeding truck driver. Our goal is to get you the best possible outcome to help you move on with your life.

Calculating Economic and Non-Economic Losses

The sheer size and weight of a semi-truck can cause catastrophic injuries in a crash. Your attorney will calculate your damages—both financial and non-economic—along with any out-of-pocket expenses related to your injuries. This will ensure that you will recover full compensation to cover all of your losses, including any of the following that apply:

Holding Negligent Parties Accountable

Although it may be determined that the Idaho truck driver was at fault, there may be other responsible parties involved. For example, we will explore the evidence to determine if the trucking company failed to properly train the trucker. If this is the case, the trucking company may be held liable along with the truck driver.

Sometimes drowsy driving goes hand-in-hand with speeding. When this happens, a trucker might be encouraged to drive without rest for longer than is safe. We can request the rest logs to determine if this was the case in your accident.

Client Reviews

“I was concerned with all the paperwork”

Before calling your firm I had 2 big worries. One was I didn’t want to do more paper work, and that fear was resolved when I had to do very little, but Craig Swapp and Assoc. did most of it, and when I did have to come in to sign papers they worked around the times I could do it. Worry 2 was I didn’t want people to think I was “sue happy” and that I was just out to get money. I just wanted my bills to be paid for that were from the accident, and that was resolved I think by Mr. Wes Mortenson and Theresa because they listened to what I had to say.

"I would hire them in a second"

My biggest fear was not having all the expenses caused by the accident paid for in full. I was assured they would be taken care of but I admit I was skeptical. When we wrapped everything up (which happened quicker than I was originally told) I had extra money in my pocket. I honestly thought there was a catch but my attorney explained everything to me in detail. If I am ever in that position again I’ll be giving Craig Swapp a call.

"I was afraid of the fees"

I was afraid of the fees I would have to pay a lawyer. I waited over a year before hiring your law firm. I finally reached out to your online help where they were able to help me understand the process and what would happen. In all honesty I absolutely loved working with the individuals that were involved in my case. They were genuine & heartfelt about my case. It felt as though they really cared and were concerned about me, not just as a client but as a person.

"I was afraid that my issue was too small"

I was afraid that my issue was too small to be handled, and that it would just be rejected. Or that I’d end up having to pay for my medical expenses and any of your teams expenses. I would definitely answer yes, it was resolved! I wasn’t ever made out to feel like my little issue didn’t matter, and my expenses were paid for- just what I wanted/needed.

"I am very pleased with the results"

My biggest fear was that it would be pointless to pursue legal action in my case. I felt like maybe I didn’t have much of a case. After speaking with Paul, I realize it was not of my own fault and that others can be held responsible for the pain and suffering I went through.
