Truck Accidents

Phoenix, Arizona, Trucking Accident Lawyer

With over 30 Years of Experience, You Can Put Faith in My Reputation

There are fewer tragedies as abrupt and severe as those resulting from a truck accident. Generally, any surviving motorists involved in these types of crashes suffer very serious personal injuries due to the sheer size and speed of the vehicles involved. Yet what makes these accidents all the more tragic is that they are almost invariably attributable to some violation of federal regulations.

I am attorney Stephen I. Leshner, and I have over three decades of experience practicing law. In that time I have represented thousands of clients and achieved historic results. If you've been injured or have lost a loved one in a trucking accident, please contact me today to schedule a free initial consultation to review the facts of your case.

Truck Injury Negligence: Drivers and Trucking Companies

Almost all car-truck collisions share two common features:

1. The victims suffer catastrophic injuries or are killed
2. The truck driver or trucking company has violated the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FCMSRs).

The FCMSRs regulate things like how many hours a driver can spend on the road, how to safely load cargo and how to keep trucks properly maintained, among others. Based on my experience, I have found that when a collision occurs, driver fatigue, loading violations, bad brakes, or other such factors almost always seem to have played a role.

I am highly skilled in preparing and developing trucking accident cases, and have collected millions of dollars for my clients in trucking accident cases. For example, if an accident was caused by driver fatigue and the truck driver appears to have improperly filled out his mileage log book (and some have admitted to doing so habitually), I can often prove it by using both trip receipts and computer software designed to calculate the truck's minimum possible speed.

I often see value in cases that other attorneys pass up. However, I never accept a case unless I am confident that I can secure compensation for my clients. Please contact me online or call 602-266-9000 if you would like to schedule an appointment to discuss your trucking accident case.
