18-Wheeler Accidents: Level the Playing Field Against Powerful Insurance Companies

Catastrophic Injuries Demand Experienced Legal Representation. No Fees Unless We Win!

The Devastating Impact of 18-Wheeler Accidents

Accidents involving 18-wheelers or semi-trucks are often catastrophic. The sheer size and weight of these vehicles can inflict devastating injuries on occupants of smaller passenger vehicles. These injuries can include:

  • Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): Can lead to lifelong cognitive and physical impairments.
  • Spinal Cord Injuries: Can result in paralysis or loss of mobility.
  • Internal Organ Damage: Can require extensive medical treatment and surgeries.
  • Broken Bones and Fractures: Can lead to chronic pain and disability.
  • Amputations: The loss of a limb can have a profound physical and emotional impact.
  • Burns and Disfigurement: Can require extensive reconstructive surgery and rehabilitation.

Don't Fall Prey to Insurance Company Tactics

After a truck accident, insurance companies for trucking companies often employ aggressive tactics to minimize their payouts:

  • Early Settlement Offers: They may pressure you to accept a quick, lowball settlement before you fully understand the extent of your injuries and losses.
  • Shifting Blame: They may try to shift blame onto you, even if the truck driver was clearly at fault.
  • Downplaying Your Injuries: They may attempt to minimize the severity of your injuries to reduce their liability.

Delaying Tactics: They may drag out the claims process, hoping you’ll give up and accept a lower settlement.

Testimonials

Julie B.
Julie B.Santa Anna
I have used the lawyers at Karns & Karns on a number of legal matters over the years. Their skill and expertise is unmatched in my opinion. When my family was the victim of fraud, I turned to the lawyers at Karns & Karns. After a long litigation battle which eventually went to arbitration, I was awarded over $1,500,000.00. The lawyers at Karns & Karns were extremely prepared and I would recommend them to anyone.

I was traumatically injured on the job by a negligent forklift driver. I reached out to Karns & Karns when I began to suspect that my other attorneys didn’t have the expertise to resolve a complicated case where the defendant, a massive organization, said I was at fault. I’m certainly glad I did. Bill and Mike treated me with respect, knew the law, and did exactly what was necessary to make the defendant accept responsibility for their bad acts. I recovered $1,000,000.00, and I have Karns & Karns to thank for that.

I was seriously injured in a motorcycle accident. Bill Karns was with me every step of the way. Even though the other driver said the accident was my fault, I recovered over $1,300,000.00. Mr. Karns was professional, courteous, and skilled. I would recommend him and Karns & Karns to anyone involved in a major personal injury case.

I can personally attest to the fact that Karns & Karns are perhaps the most responsive attorneys in California. To receive the sort of attention that I got from Mike and Bill is noteworthy.

My experience with Karns & Karns is that they truly care. As a disabled veteran, I can’t ask for any better than two top gun lawyers whose main job is to get the best for me and my well-being.
