Truck Accident Litigation Experience

At Clark, Perdue, Arnold & Scott, our trucking accident lawyers have extensive experience representing victims in a wide variety of truck accidents including:

• Terry, a former model, suffered substantial facial scarring in a truck/trailer crash. The trailer became disconnected from the truck, and the truck driver left the trailer in the middle of the road on a foggy evening in eastern Ohio. The jury found in Terry's favor, and some of the money awarded has been used for surgery to repair the scars.


• A semi-truck hauling German automobiles went out of control on an Interstate highway in Columbus, Ohio. The truck crossed over a concrete divider into the path of a mini-van traveling in the opposite direction. A crash occurred. A mother and her two children in the mini-van were killed. A four year old girl in the mini-van had a brain injury and permanent loss of use of one arm. The trucking company denied fault. Furthermore, the trucking company claimed that the driver of the mini-van should have avoided the crash. Although the trucking company had a substantial insurance policy, it was not enough. Therefore, after extensive litigation, we were able to obtain a settlement that included liability insurance plus money paid directly by the trucking company.


• Paul and Martha were traveling near their home when a semi-truck and trailer pulled from a stop sign into their path. The truck driver claimed that Paul was partly to blame for failing to see the truck and stop in time to avoid the crash.

The evidence did not support the truck driver’s claim, and we successfully negotiated a settlement with the trucking company while the case was in litigation. Skill, Commitment, and Experience. Our Ohio truck accident lawyers bring these qualities to every trucking injury case entrusted to us.
