Protecting Injured Motorists
Car accidents involving semis and tractor-trailers usually cause serious or catastrophic injuries. If you or a family member was injured in a trucking accident, you need an experienced personal injury attorney to battle the trucking company on your behalf.
New York state holds individuals with commercial driver's licenses (CDL) to a higher standard than nonprofessional drivers and so do the attorneys at Queller, Fisher, Washor, Fuchs & Kool, L.L.P. We make sure that truck drivers and other CDL holders, as well as the trucking companies, are held responsible for their negligence.

How We Can Help
We represent individuals and families who were injured or lost loved ones due to an accident with a truck or commercial vehicle such as:
- Semis and 18-wheelers
- Delivery trucks
- Buses
- Construction vehicles
- Garbage trucks
Passenger vehicles simply cannot withstand the size and weight of a commercial vehicle during a collision. Consequently, the injuries from these accidents are often catastrophic or fatal. We have extensive experience with serious injury claims involving spinal injuries, brain injuries, broken bones and amputations, and burn injuries. With catastrophic injuries, you will need compensation to cover specialized medical treatment that may include long-term care. For wrongful death claims, we will also seek additional compensation for economic losses in order to provide for the family in the future.
One of the most crucial aspects of a trucking accident case is fighting the trucking company's insurance carrier. Commercial transportation companies immediately dispatch an accident response team of adjusters, investigators and lawyers to the scene. Their job is to protect the company from risk and expense, which means denying fault for the accident.
We will thoroughly investigate the accident. Our investigation will often include a review of safety maintenance records for the vehicle and checking into the driver's professional and personal driving records. Our lawyers are experienced in negotiating with insurance companies and are prepared to go to trial if necessary.
