Truck Accident

When a truck crash injures you, your physical wellbeing and financial health are on the line. Let an Idaho truck crash attorney help you take control by getting the compensation you deserve.

Vehicle accidents are terrifying events, and they’re made even more so when they involve an 18-wheeler or semi-truck. These massive machines can destroy any car and result in devastating injuries.

If you’ve survived a truck accident, you likely need to file a claim for your injuries and expenses. An Idaho truck accident lawyer with Craig Swapp & Associates can make sure your claim has the best possible chance of getting you the compensation you need.

Determining Fault

Determining the cause of your truck crash can help you and your lawyer understand who was at fault. That’s especially important in truck crash injury claims because more than one person or entity can be at fault. These may include the truck driver, the trucking company, the truck owner, and the agency responsible for maintaining safe roads.

Naming all the negligent parties who contributed to your injuries can drastically increase the amount of compensation you receive.

Your Idaho truck collision attorney will investigate every aspect of the accident to determine who or what could have caused the collision. We’ll use the evidence and witness testimonies we find to build a solid case that will ensure you receive the most compensation possible for your injuries.

What Was the Cause?

Some common causes of semi-truck accidents include the following:

  • Drowsy Driving – Truck drivers often have distance or time quotas they must meet. They often make these goals at the expense of their sleep, making them dangerous drivers in a normal vehicle and potentially deadly in an 18-wheeler. We can investigate trip records and determine how long the truck driver had been on the road without sleep.
  • Distracted Driving – This is a growing concern for highway patrol officers across the country. People are talking or texting on their phones, fiddling with the radio, drinking coffee, and eating all while driving. When the distracted driver is behind the wheel of a multi-ton semi-truck, the resulting accident can be catastrophic.
  • Unsecured Cargo – Unsecured truck cargo has caused many accidents, injuries, and even deaths. Even something as small as rocky debris or ice sliding off the top of the trailer can cause a crash.
  • Dangerous Road Conditions – Potholes, inadequate shoulders, uneven lanes, and poor road markers are common driving complaints, but when they create the potential for a serious truck accident, they become much more than a nuisance.

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.
