TRUCK ACCIDENTS
Count On Our Team to Protect Your Interests
MODESTO TRUCK ACCIDENT LAWYER
Highway 99, Highway 5 and Highway 155 crisscrossing the Central Valley carry thousands of trucks every day, delivering products, materials and equipment to communities throughout Northern California. The large 18-wheeler semi-tractor trailers are a vital part of our economy and are part of our daily traffic patterns.
Because of the massive size and weight of these large trucks, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulates virtually every aspect of their activities, from maintenance requirements to management policies to driver training and behavior behind the wheel.

TRUCK ACCIDENT LAW FIRM
In a typical year in California, more than 3,500 people are injured or killed in crashes involving large commercial trucks. Many of the accidents are the result of truck drivers pushing the limits of their endurance and skills, as they work to meet tight deadlines imposed upon them by their employers. If you were injured in a crash involving a large commercial truck in the Central Valley or Northern California, or if you lost a loved one in a fatal truck accident, talk to a Modesto truck accident attorney at Swingle, Van Egmond & Heitlinger right away. For nearly 35 years, we have been the personal injury litigation firm people in the Central Valley turn to when they need serious legal representation.
Our personal injury lawyers represent truck accident cases on a contingency-fee-basis. You will not pay attorneys’ fees if we do not help you recover money in a settlement or jury verdict.
TRUCK ACCIDENT ATTORNEY IN MODESTO
Truck accident injury and wrongful death cases generally turn on the physical evidence at the scene. Many truck companies have contracts with local investigators, who rush to the scene to begin collecting evidence in the truck company’s favor. It is very important to have an experienced personal injury attorney working on your side of the accident case as quickly as possible following the accident.
