Solid Representation in Complex Litigation

Truck accidents require a competent, proven attorney for two reasons. First, the severe injuries associated with truck accidents often leads to greater medical expenses, longer or permanent loss of wages, and higher costs for future rehabilitation. Second, these cases can be very complex. For instance, the tractor cab and the tractor trailer may have separate owners, and different legal responsibility. Liability may also hinge upon licensing requirements and the type of cargo being hauled.

Mr. Mills has extensive knowledge of Connecticut and federal trucking laws. He was frequently hired by trucking companies to defend them in severe injury cases. When the Law Offices of John W. Mills investigates a trucking accident, we know what to look for:

• the truck driver’s log books, which indicate key information about how many hours he or she was on the road, what they were hauling, etc.
• employment information and driving history of the trucker
• maintenance records on the vehicle
• statements from witnesses
• was the load properly secured or over the weight limit?

Proving negligence on the part of the driver and/or owners often comes down to having qualified experts. We have access to experts nationwide in accident reconstruction, trucking maintenance, and related matters. We make sure the truck is inspected promptly and the accident scene documented as soon as possible after the crash.
