Truck Accident Lawyers Serving Wheeling and the Ohio Valley
When Crashes Happen, You Need Help You Can Trust
With all the commercial and industrial traffic moving through the Ohio Valley every day, truck accidents are an unfortunate occurrence. The large size and load capacity of tractor-trailers can inflict significant damage on automobiles and injure drivers and passengers—sometimes catastrophically.
Bordas & Bordas understands how people can feel overwhelmed after being involved in a truck crash. Our lawyers have helped victims of truck accidents obtain multimillion-dollar settlements and judgments. We can help guide you through your legal options and achieve the compensation you deserve to begin the healing process.
Injuries Caused by Truck Accidents
When a big rig hits a smaller vehicle, the consequences can stretch beyond damage to your car. The force of the crash can cause collisions with other cars, and bodily injury is a serious risk. Some of these injuries include:
- Deep lacerations
- Whiplash
- Broken or crushed bones
- Spinal cord injuries
- Concussions and other traumatic brain injuries
- Paralysis
- Organ damage
Tragically, people also die in truck crashes, and though no amount of money will bring them back, their families deserve to be compensated if the truck was at fault. Working with a Wheeling truck accident lawyer improves your chances of obtaining compensation, no matter how badly you or your loved ones were injured in a crash.
If you find yourself involved in an accident with a truck, you should first seek medical attention for you and your passengers, as well as anyone else involved in the crash. The Bordas & Bordas team can work diligently on your case as you recover. And in the event of a fatality, we can help you and your family pursue a wrongful death case.
