One of the most devastating types of accidents that occur are those involving semi-trucks, or 18-wheelers. These accidents tend to be particularly tragic due to the sheer size and weight of these vehicles. As a result, truck accidents often lead to severe injuries, leaving victims permanently disabled in some cases and tragically resulting in multiple fatalities. The financial repercussions can be significant, prompting trucking companies to vigorously protect themselves when faced with such lawsuits.
If, by any unfortunate chance, you find yourself in a situation where you sustain injuries from an accident involving a large truck or any other commercial vehicle, you might be entitled to receive financial compensation. Here at Washington Auto Law, we possess extensive knowledge in handling such cases.

Most Common Types Of Truck Accidents & Their Causes
There are a variety of reasons why truck accidents happen. While sometimes truck accidents occur as a result of another driver’s negligence, far too often the overwhelming majority of truck accidents happen because truck drivers fall asleep at the wheel (due to driving long distances for long days), are distracted, or are driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Sometimes, the trucking company will be at fault for pressuring them to meet deadlines and ignore federal guidelines or for not properly maintaining the vehicle. After meeting with you to discuss the details of your accident, our truck accident lawyers will investigate the contributing factors of your accident and begin establishing a strong case for you to recover financial damages.
We Can Help You Recover Fair Monetary Damages For Your Injuries
If you find yourself in a situation where an accident has occurred due to the negligence of a truck driver or trucking company, it is important to know that you should not be solely responsible for the financial burden and emotional distress caused by the incident. Compensating for the trauma experienced is only fair. It is possible that you have endured immense pain and suffering, missed out on enjoyable activities, lost sleep, and faced other hardships as a result of this unfortunate event. Although these consequences may not be easily measurable, like medical expenses, they still deserve proper compensation.
Ideally, the insurance company representing either the truck driver or trucking company should cover all related costs. Unfortunately, insurance companies are notorious for their reluctance to fully compensate injured victims involved in accidents. They often try to avoid paying altogether or offer significantly lower settlements than what your injuries truly warrant. This is where our team of Kent truck accident lawyers can assist you. We will thoroughly review your case and provide guidance on how much your injuries should be valued, while also explaining your available options.
Our expertise extends beyond simply evaluating your claim; we can also negotiate on your behalf with the insurance company to secure the best possible settlement outcome. If necessary, we are prepared to take your case to trial in order to ensure the successful recovery of damages. Rest assured that our priority is fighting on your behalf so that you receive the rightful compensation you deserve after such a traumatic experience.
