As any lawyer will attest, finding a lawyer that specializes in a certain area of the law can make the difference between a win and a loss. One area where it is especially important to find an experienced lawyer is accidents that involve trucks. Truck accident lawyers have specific knowledge about the rules and regulations regarding trucks and can help their clients navigate clearly through the legal process.
As a word of warning, clients should know that just because a law firm says that they can handle lawsuits involving trucks, this does not necessarily mean that they specialize in this particular area. An initial consultation is a great way to determine if a lawyer is truly skilled in this area. During the initial consultation, make sure that the lawyer has experience in these key areas of the law.

They should have handled other trucking accident cases and be able to explain the details of those cases and how their experience relates to the current case. It's also a good idea to choose an attorney who has had jury trial experience. Many of these cases are tried in front of a jury and it takes special skills and experience to present information to a jury. This experience also demonstrates that a firm is willing to get the best result for their client instead of settling for a low ball offer.
Remember that large truck cases have special rules and regulations such as specific rules from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations. These are not typical in an auto accident, so make sure that the lawyer has experience with these regulations. When drafting the complaint and during the written discovery and depositions, this knowledge is going to be essential. Going with a lower-priced lawyer or law firm who doesn't have this specialization will not end in the desired
If you or a loved one have been involved in a motor vehicle accident, you should not speak to the insurance company, or sign anything with them, until such time that you can speak to a plaintiff ICBC lawyer. It could be the best financial decision you ever make.
It is unfortunate that accidents that result in injuries are a part of life. Further more it is also unfortunate that often the party responsible for said accident do not feel compelled to offer compensation to the party affected. However in spite of this, there is still hope for the injured party thanks to personal injury lawyers. They are tasked with representing their clients who suffered from these events while making sure that their clients receive the compensation that they deserve. Ultimately personal injury lawyers play a big role with regards to safety initiatives by helping those injured, which is something that we all should aspire to do.

Contemporary literature is the sharing of timeless truths that still hold relevance in our current society in a current manner. There is a saying “What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the Sun.” (Ecclesiastes 1:9, n.d.). What the saying means is that anything we experience now has already been experienced and to believe that you have a fresh new idea, way of thinking, activity or anything than you are mistaken. Everything that can be thought of already has been. The story that I read during this session that reminds of this and has helped shape my view on contemporary literature is “Car Crash While Hitchhiking”, it was written by Denis Johnson. I’m going to explain how this story in

Accidents is defined as an unplanned and undesired circumstances resulting in injuries, fatalities and loss or damage of property or assets(safety.ILO, 2011). Accidents are much deeper and beyond the older clichés, accounting to bad luck or fate, almighty’s work or simply being at wrong place at wrong time.

If you were in my shoes, you would be a person full of ambition, charisma, and self- confidence. If you were in my shoes you would have been born exactly 2 months early of your predicted due date. You would come out of the womb at 12:00pm on Monday, June 16, 1997, in Charlotte, North Carolina at Carolina Medical Center. Premature, weighing 3 lbs and 11 ounces, you would spend the first week of your life in an incubator. However, once strong enough, you were able to leave and see the place that you would call home. Living on the West Side of Charlotte, otherwise known as the hood, you would live in a two bedroom apartment with your mom, dad, and brother. Yes, space was tight, but being there was the best time of your life. Eventually, the good times ended on your fifth birthday, when you moved into your new house. Unfortunately, while moving, your dad and brother were not apart of your luggage.
