Know Your Rights With Our Spring Valley, NV Truck Accident Lawyer
As a suburb of Las Vegas, Spring Valley sees thousands of semi-trucks and other commercial vehicles on its highways and city streets every day. A tractor-trailer weighs about 80,000 pounds when fully loaded, easily ten times the weight of your passenger vehicle. When the two collide, it’s the passengers in the much-smaller car who suffer grievous, sometimes fatal, injuries. Semi-truck accidents can happen in much the same way as any other traffic collision (driver negligence, poor training, malfunctioning vehicle, or driving under the influence), but unlike other types of traffic accident claims, there may be multiple defendants in a semi-truck crash. Our Spring Valley, NV truck accident lawyer can sort through the murky details after a commercial vehicle collision and protect your legal interests as you assert your right to compensation.

Our attorneys understand the federal regulations covering these types of claims and the legal approaches necessary to secure victory for our clients. We want to help you secure full and fair compensation for all your losses. Please call us today for a free consultation.
Strong Legal Advice For Tough Truck Accident Claims
When you pursue elgal action after a truck collision, you’re usually not just fighting against the negligent trucker. OFtne, the trucker’s employer (whether they were a direct employee or contract carrier), is also named as a defendant. This means that your attorney must build two or more separate cases. Not all Las Vegas truck accident law firms have the resources to do so. We do, and we have a solid history of successfully settling claims involving a negligent trucker, trucking company, and even negligent cargo loaders and truck mechanics.
Our attorneys carefully review data from the trucker’s Event Data Recorder (the “black box”) to determine the truck’s actions at the time of the wreck. The EDR also contains information about the truck’s entire driving history, which can be used to show, for example, that the trucker was speeding or operating longer than federally permitted. We use EDR data along with other evidence like dashcam footage, witness testimony, and physical evidence to build our case against the at-fault parties. We represent your interests at each stage of the claims process, from preparing and filing your initial claim to negotiating a fair settlement or representing you at trial.
Compensation Available In Truck Accident Claims
Truck accident injuries can be devastating. Many people never fully recover their abilities, and some may be left permanently disabled, unable to work or care for their families as they were once able to. We demand fair compensation for all necessary medical treatment, plus any modifications to your home and vehicle you need to accommodate a new disability. If your injuries have impacted your ability to work, we also demand a full replenishment of lost wages, plus your loss of earning potential.
You’re also entitled to compensation for pain and suffering and the emotional trauma of being struck by an oversized semi-truck. We demand fair payment for these non-material losses, as well. At CVBN Law LLP, we don’t rest until we have achieved the best possible outcome for your truck accident claim.
