Rear-End Truck Accident Lawyer in Arizona

Gilbert, AZ attorney Byron Browne is ready to fight for you

Tractor-trailers and other commercial trucks are extremely large and heavy. So when one of these vehicles crashes into the rear of your car, it can cause significant damage. Drivers and passengers can be seriously hurt in these rear-end truck accidents. Victims deserve financial compensation, but that can be complicated.

You can start by contacting Browne Law Group. Attorney Byron Browne knows how to handle these complex cases. He takes no B.S. from insurance companies and will fight for the results you need.

How did your rear-end truck accident happen?

These types of accidents are typically caused by driver negligence. Types of negligence include:

• Following too closely – Large trucks require more stopping distance. Failure to maintain a safe following distance increases the risk of colliding with the vehicle in front.
• Distracted driving – Distractions such as texting, talking on the phone, or engaging in other activities that divert attention from the road can quickly lead to a rear-end crash.
• Fatigue – Drivers who are extremely tired are more likely to lose concentration and also have slower reaction times, increasing the likelihood of a rear-end collision.
• Speeding – Excessive speed reduces a truck driver's ability to react quickly to changes in traffic conditions. When a truck is traveling too fast, it becomes much more difficult to avoid a crash.
• Improper loading – Cargo shifts or spills can occur if cargo is not properly loaded, making it much more difficult for a driver to control the truck.
• Aggressive driving – Aggressive driving behaviors such as sudden lane changes, weaving between vehicles, and sudden acceleration or braking increase the risk of a rear-end accident.

Victims can be hurt in many different ways. Common injuries include:

• Whiplash – When a truck hits the back of a car, the sudden jerking motion of the head and neck can cause whiplash. Symptoms include neck pain, stiffness, and headaches.
• Back and spinal cord injuries – Impact from a collision can damage the back and spinal cord, leading to herniated discs, fractures, or paralysis. Symptoms can range from pain and numbness to loss of mobility.
• Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) – Impact with the steering wheel or dashboard in a rear-end collision can cause head injury, leading to a TBI. Symptoms vary from mild concussions to severe brain damage, affecting cognition, memory, and overall well-being.
• Broken bones – The force of a crash can cause fractures and broken bones in the arms, legs, or hips. Symptoms can include swelling and pain.

Victims of a rear-end truck accident may need surgery, medication, physical therapy, home care, and months of follow-up treatment. Medical expenses can add up fast. When the negligence of a truck driver caused the crash that left you hurt, you shouldn’t have to pay. But recovering compensation can be complicated.

Truck drivers often deny doing anything wrong, putting you in a position of having to prove negligence. Don’t expect help from insurance companies. They just want to pay you as little as possible. So they may question the seriousness of your injuries, or argue they were pre-existing. Or they’ll make you a lowball settlement offer.

Byron Browne knows all of the B.S. tactics they use. And he does not put up with them.
