The sheer size of a semi-truck can dwarf passenger vehicles, whether they are cars, pick-up trucks, vans, or motorcycles. Furthermore, many accidents with semi-trucks occur on the highway, where speeds are much higher than on typical roadways. As a result, when an accident occurs that involves a semi-truck, the results can be disastrous for the driver and other occupants of the passenger vehicle. These individuals can sustain serious injuries, including brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and bone fractures, some which may even be fatal.
The trucking industry is subject to strict federal regulations that govern how drivers and trucking companies are to operate. For instance, drivers are limited to a certain amount of consecutive hours of driving before they are required to take a break for a specific amount of time. However, many trucking companies do not strictly follow these rules, usually in order to save money. Therefore, when a negligent truck driver and/or trucking company causes an accident that leads to another’s injuries or death, it is essential that you take the steps necessary to hold them responsible.
If you are involved in a semi-truck accident, you should immediately contact an experienced semi-truck accident attorney who knows how to best help you get the compensation that you need. In this situation, you need strong investigative services to determine what happened, who was involved, and whether any negligence occurred. This is likely to include accident reconstruction, identification of all individuals involved, and review of the trucking company’s records.
When a semi-truck accident causes serious injuries to you or a loved one, the impact can be devastating. Although some accidents are just that – accidents – others are caused by the negligence of another, such as an inattentive or distracted truck driver. If you are in this situation, you may be entitled to compensation for your losses. Call Bonner & Vaughan today and learn how our Wisconsin personal injury attorneys can advocate on your behalf.

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.
