Truck Accident Attorneys
Truck accidents are often set apart from auto accidents due to the disparity in weight between a large commercial truck and a car which greatly increases the likelihood of more severe injuries and damages in the event of an accident. Drivers of these massive commercial vehicles are held to a higher standard of responsibility, due to the size of the truck and the skill needed to drive them safely. If you’ve been involved in a truck accident, you have the right to seek financial compensation for your injuries and losses you’ve suffered as a result of it. Determining liability in truck accident cases and recovering the full extent of your damages can be extremely difficult, which is why it’s important to seek out representation from one of the truck accident attorneys at LeBaron & Jensen as soon as possible after the accident.
Trucking companies are looking out for their best interests, not yours. Obtaining a fair settlement without legal protection can be a complex and challenging process. Insurance companies will utilize every available tactic in order to pay you as little as possible for the damages you’ve sustained from the accident, as their goal is to save money, not give it to you. Our law firm had decades of experience handling accident claims. We have the experience and resources in order to not just fight for your rightful compensation, but to win it. We work on your behalf so that you can focus your energy on recovery rather than stressing about your case.
Common Causes Of Truck Accidents
There are many things that can go wrong on the roads and in the operation of a commercial truck. While truck driver error is the leading cause of truck accident, there are other scenarios which can lead to an accident, such as:
- Driver fatigue
- Drug and alcohol use
- Driving errors, such as not monitoring blind spots and turning around curves too quickly
- Weather conditions
- Road hazards
- Lack of truck maintenance
- Faulty truck parts
- Failure of the truck company to properly vet and train drivers
- Equipment problems, such as not properly attaching the trailer
- Other drivers on the road being reckless or careless
- Not having enough space to stop or slow down
Depending on the cause of the truck accident, a number of parties can be held liable, from the truck driver, to the trucking company, to the truck manufacturer, to the cargo loader, and to the local government or the contractor who is responsible for the design or maintenance of the highway. If multiple parties are found liable for the accident, you may be able to make multiple claims and achieve more compensation for your damages.
What To Do If You’ve Been In A Truck Accident
Truck accidents often result in severe injuries and high risk of fatalities. If you’ve been victim to a truck accident, you may not be able to do anything other than seek medical attention and the representation of a lawyer after the fact. If you are able, though, following an accident, you should call the police, collect the information of all parties involved and any potential witnesses, take pictures of your injuries and the scene, obtain medical treatment as soon as possible, and consult with a truck accident attorney, to ensure that you are able to achieve the compensation you deserve.

The attorney's at LeBaron & Jensen share a will to win, but not at your expense. They're caring, transparent and competent attorney's with a strong work ethic. I've enjoyed working with Chase Adams who helped settle a dispute. He proved to be resourceful, diligent, thoughtful and responsive. Personality is as important as the attorney's skill set and experience. Chase Adams will take his time to make sure your expectations are in line with your needs. A settlement is always better than negotiating or fighting with difficult to read Pleadings. What is Chase's strategy? To get great results and stay out of court. But if your case warrants court, Chase Adams is comfortable in front of a judge and at the settlement table. You'll enjoy the effort that the attorney's with LeBaron & Jensen will make to minimize your expense and maximize value.

I had a great experience with LeBaron & Jensen P.C. They kept in contact with me throughout the entire process, and were extremely informative and explained anything I didn’t understand about the proceedings of the case. I would highly recommend LeBaron & Jensen to anyone seeking Legal representation. I was driving westbound on Highway 193 in Clearfield Utah, when I came to the intersection of 1000 East and Highway 193. I noticed that a firetruck was travelling east towards the intersection with its emergency lights on, all traffic around me, including myself, slowed to a stop to allow the firetruck an unimpeded path to travel. However, I noticed the Jeep behind me wasn’t slowing down. There wasn’t anything I could do to avoid the collision, so I just braced for impact. Although I was wearing my seatbelt, I still suffered many injuries to my neck, shoulders, back, and arms. About a month after the accident I finally sought medical help for my injuries. I underwent many years of treatment for my accident-related injuries, including a carpel tunnel surgery and 2 rhyzotomy procedures, x-rays, MRIs causing me to incur over $60,000 in medical expenses. I decided I should seek legal help with my case, as I knew there was no way I could pay my medical expenses on my own. The legal team at LeBaron & Jensen were exceptional. They were able to negotiate with my health insurance and medical providers, lowering costs where they could. When all my legal and medical fees were paid, I was left with over $79,000. This money will help me pay for the future treatment that I will have to receive to try and help alleviate my future pain and suffering. I’m grateful for LeBaron & Jensen P.C. and everyone there who helped with my case! I thank them every day for the patience and persistence it took to see this through to a beneficial end.

LeBaron & Jensen did a great job for me, kept me informed throughout the process, and helped make sure that I got the compensation I needed. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who is suffering after an accident like mine. I was driving eastbound on Highway 193, a four-lane highway in Layton, Utah. I came to a stop at the two-way intersection of Highway 193 and North Hills Drive. The other driver failed to yield to my right-of-way and proceeded southbound through the intersection, I wasn’t able to stop fast enough, and I T-boned the other vehicle at a high speed. The impact of the crash was so severe that it triggered my vehicle’s airbags. The severity of the crash caused many serious and extensive injuries to my neck, back, shoulders, and head. Thankfully, I was restrained by my seatbelt, which prevented any worse injuries. I had to receive treatment for over a year and a half following the accident, including surgery on one of my shoulders. I was faced with $76,000 in medical bills. I knew I needed help, so I contacted LeBaron & Jensen P.C. Their attorneys worked diligently and negotiated with my insurance providers. After paying all my medical and legal fees, I was still able to pocket $51,000 to compensate for the pain, and suffering I endured because of the accident.

In January of 2014, my husband was involved in a terrible accident. He was driving on highway 89 in Wellsville, UT, when another driver ran a stop sign and pulled out in front of him. He tried to swerve out of the way, but he wasn’t able to avoid hitting the other vehicle. The resulting impact was so severe that even though he was wearing a seatbelt, he was violently thrown around in the cab of his truck and, as a result, hit his head on the windshield. This caused many injuries to his shoulders, back, and neck. My husband also suffered massive bruising and internal damage, and that’s not even the full extent of the injuries he suffered. He had to receive extensive treatments, including several shoulder surgeries, to try and help alleviate the pain he suffered because of the accident. Even after he underwent all those treatments he was still left in immense pain, and to top it all off, he was diagnosed with cancer in July of 2016. He decided to put off treatment for his shoulders to try and focus on his cancer treatments. He passed away in October of 2017. LeBaron & Jensen were there fighting for us through it all. They were able to get a settlement that covered all of Robert’s accident-related medical bills and all the required legal fees and additional money for his pain and suffering as a result of the accident. I’m so grateful for LeBaron & Jensen and all their support for myself and my husband through the years.

- When I tried to get coverage from the other driver’s insurance, they denied it. They told me that they had canceled the policy only a few days before the accident. The attorneys at LeBaron & Jensen P.C. were able to force the other driver’s insurance to pay out her policy limits of $25k plus replacing my car. I even ended up with a little money to set aside, that was important because this accident left me permanently disabled. The LeBaron & Jensen team negotiated with my health insurance provider and my other health care providers to reduce the costs of my medical expenses. I am very thankful for their professional service, and hard work. I couldn’t have negotiated on my own, I needed every ounce of energy to recover.Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness
