Attorney Byron Browne fights for justice for Arizona families

In a truck accident, victims can suffer serious injuries that are sometimes fatal. The death of a loved one in a truck collision is devastating. When negligence led to the loss of a loved one, you want answers – and justice. But recovering financial compensation can be a complicated process. That’s why you need an experienced Arizona truck accident lawyer.

Attorney Byron Browne of Browne Law Group knows that nothing can replace the loss of a loved one. He fights for the families of victims in Gilbert and across Maricopa County by identifying negligent parties and holding them accountable. He knows how to build strong cases that insurance companies have to take seriously.

Truck driver negligence often causes fatal injuries

There are many different types of negligence that can lead to a fatal truck accident. For example:

• A speeding driver can lose control of a tractor-trailer on the Loop 202.
• A texting driver may look away from the road and crash into a car.
• The driver of a truck can fail to take required breaks or spend more time behind the wheel than federal regulations allow.
• A driver may be under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• The trucking company may have hired a driver who was not qualified.
• The trucking company may have given a driver an unrealistic delivery schedule.
• The truck may have been in need of maintenance or repair.
• The tires or brakes on the truck may have been defective.
• The cargo may have been loaded improperly.

It’s important to get the facts. That’s why our legal team will investigate your loved one’s truck accident. We carefully review accident reports, medical records, and other documentation. We identify and interview witnesses. If needed, we consult accident reconstruction experts who can help us prove how the accident happened.

Byron Browne will fight for accountability and justice

We can help you file a wrongful death claim if you lost a loved one in a fatal truck accident. In Arizona, surviving spouses, children, parents or guardians, or personal representative can take legal action to recover damages after a fatal truck accident

The value of your claim will depend on many factors. Byron Browne can determine your total damages. But in general, you can seek compensation for funeral and burial expenses, your loved one’s final medical expenses, loss of financial support, the cost of household services (such as yardwork and childcare), and loss of companionship.

Truck accident cases involving fatal injuries can be complicated. One reason is that many different parties can be involved. These include the driver, the trucking company, the owner of the trailer, the owner of the cargo, and the company that loaded the cargo. Each party may have their own lawyer and be represented by a different insurance company.

Another reason is that negligent parties and insurance companies will aggressively fight your claim. Negligent parties may deny doing anything wrong. Insurance companies know there is a lot of money at stake and will use many different tactics to minimize your claim.

Attorney Byron Browne knows how insurance companies operate. When they fight your claim, he will fight back.

The insurance company may argue that there was no negligence. They may even suggest that your loved one was somehow at fault for what happened. They may offer you a settlement and promise quick payment, but it will probably be a lowball offer.
