A commercial vehicle accident can turn your world upside down in a matter of seconds. The sheer size and weight of trucks and other commercial vehicles mean the injuries are often severe, and the road to recovery can feel overwhelming. If you or someone you love has been hurt in an accident with a commercial vehicle, you don’t have to navigate this alone. At Youd Law, Lance and his team are here to stand beside you, fight for what you’re owed, and handle the legal burden so you can focus on healing.
Commercial truck accident cases aren’t like a typical fender-bender. They’re layered, involving trucking companies, insurers, maintenance providers, and sometimes even government agencies. That’s exactly why you need a commercial vehicle accident attorney who understands how these cases work and who isn’t intimidated by big players on the other side.
When a commercial vehicle wreck involves an 80,000-pound truck, the stakes are high for everyone. Trucking companies and their insurers often have legal teams working immediately to minimize what they pay out. Having a skilled commercial vehicle accident lawyer on your side levels the playing field.
These accidents happen for a number of preventable reasons, including:
Understanding why the accident happened is essential to building a strong case, and it’s something our team takes very seriously.
One of the biggest differences between a car accident and a commercial vehicle accident is the question of liability. Multiple parties may share responsibility, such as:
Sorting through these layers of liability is what a commercial truck accident lawyer does best. Lance and the Youd Law team dig into every detail: driver logs, electronic data, maintenance records, and more, to identify every party that should be held accountable.
Every case is different, but a commercial vehicle accident settlement may help cover medical bills, lost wages, rehabilitation costs, pain and suffering, and other damages tied to your injuries. Lance has a well-demonstrated history of negotiating aggressively to make sure insurance companies pay what they owe, not a penny less.
If you’ve been involved in a commercial vehicle wreck, time matters. In Oregon, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. The sooner you reach out, the sooner we can begin preserving evidence and building your case.
You don’t pay anything unless we win. That’s our promise.
