An Experienced Trial Attorney for Injured People
Many businesses in Kansas and Missouri rely on delivery trucks for day-to-day operations. When delivery trucks cause accidents, those businesses and their insurance companies have a responsibility to compensate those who have been injured.
I'm James H. Bell, a personal injury lawyer with more than 30 years of trial experience. Based in Kansas City, I represent wrongfully injured clients in Missouri and Kansas.
If you've been hurt in a delivery truck accident, don't hesitate to contact me for a free initial consultation. You will pay no fees unless I help you recover money damages.
Carefully Investigating the Causes of Accidents
Delivery trucks — including pickup trucks, vans, and box trucks — are generally larger than the average vehicle on the road. When they are involved in crashes with smaller cars and pedestrians, they can cause serious injuries and fatalities.
In addition, the drivers of delivery trucks are often in a rush and often driving on streets with which they may not be very familiar, two factors that can contribute to the likelihood of an accident.
I move quickly to investigate the causes of delivery truck accidents so that I can use all available evidence to help my clients get fair compensation for their injuries.
I am experienced in asking the right questions, listening carefully to the answers, and sticking to my guns when it comes to standing up for injured clients against the big insurance companies that represent delivery truck companies and other businesses.
Representing Injured Delivery Truck Drivers
It is not uncommon for delivery truck drivers to get injured in accidents with other vehicles. Many delivery trucks are constructed so that drivers are more exposed than in the average car, which can contribute to serious injuries in accidents.
If you have been injured while driving a delivery truck, you may be entitled to make a claim against the driver who hit you in addition to any workers' compensation you may receive.
I can help you sort through your options in light of the insurance policies that apply to your employer and the other driver. Contact me to discuss whether you are likely to benefit from making a personal injury claim.
