What Our Summerlin Truck Accident Lawyers Can Do for You
There are a lot of complexities that can determine the outcome of a truck accident injury case in Summerlin, Nevada.
- First, there is the trucking company itself, which has far more resources than the average person.
- Then, there is the tough insurance company that they hire, using their deeper pockets.
- This all goes into another law known as vicarious liability, where an employer is the liable party even if the driver was at fault for the negligent or reckless action.
With your extensive injuries, it’s not in your best interest to build a truck accident case on your own without any assistance. But, an attorney from Lerner and Rowe will handle your case for you by investigating your claim, determining an appropriate amount of financial compensation, and negotiating with tough insurance companies.
Types of Summerlin Semi-Truck Accident Claims We Handle at Lerner and Rowe
Here at Lerner and Rowe, our attorneys are well-versed in handling the following kinds of semi-truck accident cases:
- Jackknife accidents
- Wide-turn or squeeze play accidents
- Underride accidents
- Brake failure accidents
- Rollover accidents
- Tire blowouts
- Collisions with a vehicle traveling in a blind spot
- T-bones
- Side-swipes
- Rear-end collisions

- Spilled cargo or lost load accidents
Spilled cargo accidents are not typically what you think of when you hear “trucking accident,” but they can be just as harmful and/or deadly. If a lost load lands in the road, you may be unable to swerve around it in time. Or, you may swerve and hit another vehicle.
Sometimes the spill is hazardous or toxic materials that can cause severe burns and other injury to anyone who comes into contact with it. These are just a few examples of personal injuries, and an attorney may be able to help you recover compensation after an accident.
