Accidents Caused By Commercial Vehicle Negligence
Trucks aren’t the only dangerous commercial vehicles on the road. Delivery vans, utility trucks and construction vehicles are constantly on the major highways, rural roads and city streets. They’re making deliveries and providing needed services. Because of their busy schedules, their drivers are often rushed and tired. They make mistakes. And they can put other drivers at risk for serious personal injury and wrongful death.

Mediation: Why Do I Need A Trial Lawyer For That?
Like other personal injury cases, many of the delivery truck accident cases we handle are settled through a form of alternative dispute resolution called mediation. Parties to a lawsuit enter mediation to resolve their differences. With the help of a mediator, they work out a good solution for both of them.
For attorneys, guiding clients through mediation requires special skills. While they’re different skills than required at trial, many things are the same. Attorneys may have to give the opening statements they’d give at trial. At a minimum, they will have to show the evidence they have to support their clients’ claims.
At Carter Law Offices, we are accomplished trial lawyers. We use the in-depth knowledge, experience and skill that helps us succeed at trial to help us succeed in mediation or other alternative dispute resolution methods. The results have been good — really good. Over the years, we have achieved a record of favorable jury verdicts and settlements for our clients.
