Harrisburg and Pittsburgh Tractor-Trailer & Trucking Accident Attorneys

Compensation for catastrophic injuries caused by truck collisions

Accidents involving tractor-trailers tend to result in catastrophic and fatal injuries because of the weight and size of trucks, especially compared with much lighter and smaller automobiles or motorcycles. The Moyles Law Firm represents injured clients and family members of those killed by the negligence of drivers and trucking companies.

Common causes of trucking and tractor-trailer accidents

Even if you are a careful driver, you are at risk of tractor-trailer collisions. Typical causes of trucking accidents are outside your control. Long-haul drivers commonly suffer from sleep deprivation. 18-wheelers lack maneuverability, and one careless mistake can lead to disaster. Mechanical defects in your car or the truck at the wrong time can cause an unavoidable collision. Tractor-trailer accident attorney Jim Moyles can assist you in cases involving:

Careless truck drivers Driving under the influence (DUI) Fatigued truck drivers Improper truck loading

Construction Road debris Poorly maintained roadways Mechanical failure

Liability of multiple parties

Multiple parties are often responsible for a trucking accident. Jim diligently researches your case to include all liable parties. Your personal injury case may involve a negligent:

• Truck driver
• Owner of the tractor and trailer
• Lessee of the tractor and trailer
• Manufacturer of vehicles, equipment and parts
• Truck's cargo shipping company
• Construction company that created roadway obstructions
• Municipality that failed to maintain safe roadways

Challenging big pockets

Trucking companies typically maintain risk management departments that act immediately when collisions involving their trucks and drivers occur. Trucking companies quickly appear on the scene to minimize liability and build a defense before a lawsuit is even filed. Jim matches their perseverance and diligence when building your case. He promptly collects evidence, photographs the accident site and interviews witnesses to learn the facts and constructs a solid strategy based on the truth. Applying his 30 years of experience, Jim perseveres over large corporations to win you the compensation you deserve.

Defending trucking companies and long-haul drivers who have acted responsibly

As the former counsel of Pennsylvania Motor Truck Association (PMTA), Jim gained substantial insight into the trucking industry. He recognizes the extensive measures responsible companies and drivers take to minimize risks and increase safety on the roadway. He represents drivers who have exercised reasonable care and defends corporations who have acted in the best interest of their employees, the public and other drivers.
