Few things on the road are more dangerous than a drunk driver. However, the outcome can be even more devastating if the party at fault was driving a semi-truck. If you or a loved one suffered serious injury in a truck accident, our experienced Eau Claire accident attorneys can build an effective claim on your behalf.
Because they are entrusted with massive rigs and heavy loads, truck drivers are governed by strict regulations. For example, a tractor trailer driver will face DUI charges for operating a rig with a blood alcohol concentration of .04 percent or higher. This number is double the legal limit applied to drivers of passenger cars in Eau Claire and other parts of Wisconsin.
Though the semi operator is the one who chose to drink before getting inside the cab, employers are required to use strict hiring standards and monitor drivers closely. If the freight company’s failure to follow these practices contributed to the truck accident that caused your injuries, our attorneys can initiate a claim on your behalf against both the operator of the semi and the trucking company.
Depending on the circumstances of your case, our injury lawyers can help you pursue compensation for:
If the court finds that the driver’s conduct was especially reckless or harmful, you might also be awarded punitive damages. Our attorneys will thoroughly investigate the evidence to build your claim, including the scene of the accident, police reports and other relevant details.

We live in Friendship, Wisconsin, and Boller & Vaughan came to our doorstep to discuss our mother’s wrongful death claim on a Saturday morning. Not only were we pleased with the large recovery, we were so thankful to have lawyers who were willing to explain to us every twist and turn along the way. It is great to know there is a law firm that will fight for the rights of elderly people all over Wisconsin.
Mr. Boller and Ms. Vaughan were incredible in working on my case and my daughter’s case. I was out of work and in the hospital with a new baby. Mr. Boller and Ms. Vaughan protected our rights and it was a pleasure to work with them. I hope never to be in another motor vehicle accident, however, if I am and I am injured, I will contact Boller & Vaughan immediately.
I was referred to Michelle through a friend. I have never had a better experience. It took a little over a year to get my settlement but the staff there stayed in constant contact and kept me in the loop. Oh, and Michelle actually got me MORE money than we discussed. I will refer anyone to this firm. Words cannot do justice the thanks that I have for Michelle and her staff (Mary especially) thank you guys so much!
After my husband died as a result of a motor vehicle accident, Boller & Vaughan spent countless hours talking with me, meeting with me in person, and making sure that I was okay. The drunk driver who hit us did not have any insurance, and we had to make a claim through our own insurance. Boller & Vaughan was fantastic at explaining the law to me and the handling of our claims.
After my son was injured in a daycare setting, Ms. Vaughan took the time to thoroughly investigate our case and my son’s injuries. Michele was approachable and had answers to our questions. Talking with her helped to relieve many of our anxieties.
