Get Help From An Experienced Truck Accident Lawyer in Vancouver – 604-318-3838

truck accident lawyer in vancouver

A truck accident lawyer in Vancouver specializes in matters involving collisions and injuries where heavy vehicles are involved.  Large commercial trucks, flat decks, delivery trucks, super-bees, multi-axle heavy haul rigs are commonplace on Canadian highways.  They haul the majority of our goods around the country and we drive next to them on our highways every day. Unfortunately, large trucks can also pose significant risks to other motorists on the highway and often when disaster strikes you need legal services.  This is largely because trucks and trailers are bigger and heavier and cause more damage when involved in accidents as they exert tremendous force upon impact.  As a result they pose a serious danger to motorists.   There is proven data which shows that people who are involved in multi-vehicle accidents with trucks are far more likely to die as a result of their injuries.  Therefore wrongful death claims often arise in these type of cases.  For more information on wrongful death claims CLICK HERE.

Not surprisingly there are a number of different rules of the road and regulations which are largely directed to safety concerns, which govern large commercial trucking.  It is quite surprising however that many large truck operators are not required to be qualified in the types of rigs that they drive.  They simply meet their licensing qualifications and go on to operate any truck they feel comfortable operating.  There are also special concerns when commencing a legal case in truck accident injury cases.  These concerns grow out of the fact that when suing you might have a legal action against several parties including the truck operator, the truck owner, the trailer owner or lessee, the owner of the cargo, etc.  These cases therefore involve a greater legal investigation at the front end.

Our truck accident injury lawyer can explain the intricacies of litigation involving those injured or those who succumb to their injuries in truck accident to the parties whose interest are affected whether they are the injured parties or the family members of the deceased.
