There are over 400,000 traffic crashes involving large trucks each year in the United States, almost 5000 people die in truck related accidents, and more than 100,000 people are injured each year. At Post & Schell, we provide our clients with immediate access to a team of skilled attorneys who know the trucking industry. They recognize and are sensitive to the business issues that a commercial vehicle incident presents to the motor carrier. Our commercial vehicle lawyers maintain membership in relevant transportation associations, including the American Trucking Association, Transportation Lawyers Association, the Pennsylvania Motor Truck Association, and the Defense Research Institute, Trucking Law Committee. The training and experience of our attorneys are specifically tailored to the providers and users of ground transportation services, and we apply our skills to defend and advance the business interest of our clients. We are able to place one or more members of our team, with the appropriate experts, at any location in Pennsylvania within hours of an accident. When our clients turn to us for this service, we immediately visit the scene, document and preserve evidence, interview the driver and thoroughly investigate the scene. This immediate investigation allows us to determine liability positions and defenses while the evidence is fresh. We understand your business needs. We will work to secure the proper return of equipment and cargo. We recognize that the longer your tractor trailer and your client's cargo are detained, the greater the financial hardships on your company and the damage to your business relationships. We resolve insurance issues to keep your fleet on the road. Post & Schell has been involved in the litigation of insurance coverage disputes for decades, and our team includes attorneys whose practice is dedicated exclusively to insurance coverage issues. Our experience is invaluable to our clients when faced with a catastrophic commercial vehicle accident and the prospect of uninsured exposure which may accompany it. Our attorneys are well versed in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulation. We understand that the preservation of your safety rating is crucial. Our team includes an immediate past-Chief of the Criminal Division of the U.S. Attorney’s Office who, in that capacity, had been charged with the responsibility of supervising the regulatory prosecution of Motor Carriers. We know the issues that are in play, and we can move quickly to resolve them. |
