Although essential to businesses and the economy, trucks can be deadly. Their size and weight inflict serious harm on motorists if involved in a collision. Large commercial trucks like trailers, big rigs, or 18-wheelers may weigh up to 20 times as much as a passenger car. They are highly dangerous if not properly operated and maintained. Because of this, victims in a trucking accident are likely to be killed or sustain catastrophic brain damage, spinal injuries, or amputations.
Trucking collision chances are exacerbated by the lax regulations on trucking companies and manufacturers. There is a reluctance to impose stronger safety standards. This has created a climate where profit trumps safety; trucking companies ignore safety regulations, skip maintenance, and understaff in order to maximize profits.
If you or a loved one is the victim of a trucking collision, don’t wait. Contact the Shapiro Law Team Today.

The aftermath of a trucking accident in Albuquerque is confusing, overwhelming, and stressful. However, taking the proper steps could make or break your right to compensation.
Follow these steps to give yourself the best fighting chance possible.
Where you go to get compensated depends on the specifics of your case. For instance, if you were at fault for a truck accident, you will rely on your health insurance for compensation. If the crash was due to the negligent actions of another, you may get compensation from their insurance company or from the trucking company itself.
Regardless of where you get your compensation from, know that most insurance carriers do everything in their power to pay you as little as possible. They will send you a lowball offer in order to save their money. They aren’t on your side, and the Shapiro Law Team knows this better than anyone. Give us a call so we can help you fight to protect your right to the appropriate compensation.
