Strong Legal Representation
for Arizona Truck Accident Victims
Truck accidents have devastating consequences for people driving or occupying smaller, passenger vehicles. Because of that, numerous state and federal laws have been enacted to regulate the trucking industry and to enhance public safety on our nation's roadways. Unfortunately, no law protects anyone from those devastating consequences when the driver or their company chooses to ignore it.
At the Personal Injury Law Office of Barry E. Lewin, P.C., we know the difficulties people face after suffering a severe or disabling injury. We also know the pain families experience when a loved one dies a premature death. We understand and we share the outrage people feel when they learn that a truck accident would not have happened but for the negligent conduct of the truck driver or trucking company.
For these reasons and more, our attorneys strive to provide you with honest advice, frequent communication, and compassionate support throughout the entire legal process.

Truck Accident Causes
Because Arizona happens to be the last place standing between a long-haul driver and his or her final destination in California — our roads see more than their fair share of poor judgment and reckless decision-making by truckers.
In some cases, the driver of an 18-wheeler might choose to skip mandatory rest or sleep periods in favor of pushing on through and making their delivery early. Drivers who tend to make those kinds of decisions have also been known to use methamphetamines and other drugs to help them stay awake. In other instances, accidents are caused because the truck driver is already behind schedule and is speeding in order to make up for lost time.
In addition to these causes, tractor-trailer accidents can also result from poor truck maintenance, improperly loaded or secured cargo or from a product such as a malfunctioning brake line or defective tires.
After any accident that involves a commercial vehicle and serious injuries, the sooner a complete and independent investigation into the cause of the crash starts, the better. Our lawyers, working with accident reconstruction experts and other specialists, move quickly to document and preserve evidence at the scene, inspect the semi truck, review maintenance records, scrutinize driver logbooks and police reports, and interview those who witnessed the wreck.
