Get Help For Any Type Of Injury Case

West Valley City Truck Accident Lawyer

CASE EVALUATIONS ARE FAST, EASY, AND FREE.

A West Valley City truck accident lawyer can help you get the compensation you need to cover the injuries, damages, and losses you suffered in your crash with a big rig.

Few traffic accidents are more traumatizing and dangerous than crashes involving 18-wheelers and other large commercial vehicles. Whether you were hit by a semi-truck or a dump truck, the odds of being seriously injured are incredibly high.

Recovering from one of these injuries usually requires a great deal of money as medical care is anything but inexpensive. However, if you weren’t at fault for the collision, you shouldn’t be expected to pay for this care. A West Valley City truck accident lawyer from Craig Swapp & Associates can help you investigate your claim and determine both who was at fault and how much they need to pay you.

Identifying Cause and Fault in Semi-Truck Crashes

Even commercial vehicles that are operated by independent truckers tend to have multiple individuals and companies involved in their operation and maintenance. Depending on what caused your collision, any of these parties might have been at fault—and possibly more than one of them.

Your West Valley City truck accident lawyer will collect all of the available evidence and witness testimony so that we can identify who you need to name in your personal injury claim. For example, these are just a few of the potential causes that will need to be examined and what they might mean for your lawsuit:

Drowsy Driving – Driver fatigue is a common cause of semi-truck wrecks. There are federal regulations that restrict how many hours a trucker can stay on the road without resting, and the driver or the trucking company could be to blame if these rules were violated.
Distracted Driving – Just like with car accidents, truckers are prone to paying more attention to their phones and radios than the road at times.
Unsecured Cargo – When a load comes loose, the cars behind are all put at risk. Lost loads are usually caused by either a negligent cargo team or faulty restraints that might implicate the manufacturer.
Dangerous Roads – Some big rigs crash because of poor road conditions. When steep shoulder drop-offs and missing guardrails are a factor, the government agency responsible for the road’s oversight could be to blame.

The Trucking Company’s Insurance Isn’t on Your Side

Once cause and fault have been identified, the next step in your personal injury lawsuit is sending a demand letter to the at-fault party’s insurance company and requesting a settlement. As a for-profit company, the insurance’s goal is to maximize their profits by settling your claim for the bare minimum.

Your West Valley City truck accident lawyer will ensure that this doesn’t happen. We’ll make certain that your payout accounts for all of your financial damages, as well as your non-economic losses such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, and lost enjoyment of life.

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.
