Truck Accidents

Because of their sheer size and weight, commercial vehicles like semi trucks, vans and other "box truck" cargo carriers are among the most dangerous kinds of automobiles on the crowded streets of New York as well as the major thoroughfares that connect the Big Apple to nearby communities in Westchester County, Putnam County and Rockland County.

While most commercial drivers are good stewards of the road, some are not so diligent. Accidents do happen. Often these wrecks can result in serious, permanent injury or even death to those involved. 

But just as a crash involving an 18-wheeler or tractor trailer is different than a simple car accident, the court cases that stem from these kinds of incidents can be more complex and time-consuming. If you have been injured or a family member injured or killed in a crash involving a commercial driver or vehicle, you need to find a licensed attorney with experience litigating trucking accidents.

You must find a law firm that will stand up for your rights, won't be intimidated by big insurance companies, corporations and contractors and will aggressively pursue all the financial compensation available in your case.

At the White Plains personal injury law firm of Lever & Stolzenberg, that's our business.
