New York City Truck Accident Lawyers

Compassionate & Dedicated Professionals Helping You Reach Your Goals

At The Pryor Law Firm, we have the experience and legal ability necessary to meet the challenges of proving personal injury or wrongful death claims against corporate defendants in accident cases involving trucks, tractor-trailers, and other commercial vehicles. We help clients in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Nassau County.

If you have been injured by a truck or any commercial vehicle, you will most likely have up to $1 million or more in available insurance coverage for your injuries as opposed to many situations where someone is seriously injured by a personal automobile which carries only $25,000 in insurance (New York’s minimum) making it difficult for the person to recover the full amount of their damages, even when the value of the case far exceeds $25,000.00.

As a result, if you have been injured by a truck or other commercial vehicle with a substantial insurance policy, you want to make sure that you retain an attorney who knows how to stand up to powerful corporate defendants and their legal teams and force them to pay you the full amount of your damages by developing your case properly and by demonstrating your entitlement to such an award.

Proving Your Case in Commercial Vehicle Accidents of All Kinds

Our law firm knows how to investigate and present proof of both liability and damages in commercial vehicle cases of all kinds, ranging from collisions with contractor pick-up trucks or delivery vans to accidents involving 18-wheelers, tractor-trailers, tankers or heavy construction vehicles. Our firm also handles bus accident cases and MTA accidents.

We put together the right team of experts to handle all types of injury or wrongful death claims involving:

• Tractor trailers or 18-wheelers
• Delivery trucks
• Repair, maintenance or utility vans
• Light and heavy construction vehicles
• Moving vans of all sizes
• Mobile equipment trucks such as cranes, bucket lifts or cement mixers
• Semi-trucks, whether locally owned or traveling through New York
• Limousines, airport shuttles or hotel courtesy vans
• Buses
• Negligence in driver hiring, training or supervision
• Negligent maintenance, inspection or repair of vehicles or equipment
• Violations of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations
• Driver fatigue or excessive hours on the road
• Side swipe accidents

In New York truck accident litigation, what appears to be a generous settlement offer will often fall short of the amount you actually need to cover a long period of disability, extensive medical treatment, multiple surgeries and ongoing in-home assistance, rehabilitative therapy or adaptive technology.

The Pryor Law Firm’s careful attention to detail in the proof of each part of your damages claim can make a significant difference to your total financial recovery.

Most truck accident injury claims will need expert support from a variety of professions — accident reconstruction experts, doctors, occupational therapists, economists, transportation engineers and others. Many parts of your case will depend on their expert opinions about how an accident happened, the severity of your injuries and your future treatment needs. A lawyer who knows how to work effectively with these various experts can maximize the value of your claim.
