The Copeland Law Firm helps people and families throughout Missouri who have been devastated by serious injuries or wrongful death resulting from truck accidents on Interstate 70, Interstate 44, Highway 63, Highway 54, and other Missouri roads caused by careless, reckless or intentional misconduct, such as:
- Driver fatigue
- Speeding
- Hiring unqualified drivers
- Improper loading
- Improper inspections, maintenance and repairs
Our Missouri lawyers are familiar with all Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration regulations that are designed to prevent crashes, injuries and fatalities involving large semi trucks (also called 18-wheelers and tractor trailer rigs). We also know how to find out when trucking companies deliberately or negligently violate these regulations. At The Copeland Law Firm, we know where to look and what to look for.
The lawyers at The Copeland Law Firm know that you have to move fast to preserve evidence of liability following a semi truck accident. Logbooks and maintenance records get changed and evidence is often lost or destroyed. Within hours of taking your case, we will begin our investigation. Along with an experienced investigator, Mr. Copeland always investigates the scene personally to be certain the investigation is done properly. For example, we have rented a truck of the same type that caused the accident and installed video cameras and markers all over the scene where the accident occurred. We then have an experienced investigator run through the scene to establish sight lines, distances, etc., and to re-create what actually happened. Sometimes, we find out that what the truck driver may have told the police is almost impossible - that the accident did not happen that way.
The Copeland Law Firm has established an impressive record of success in personal injury cases, and will work tirelessly to help you obtain compensation for your injuries or loss.
