Truck Crash Attorneys

Horn Law has a concentration in handling injury and death cases resulting from truck accidents. Cases involving a trucking accident are complex and require experienced legal representation. The state and federal laws applicable to both truck drivers and trucking companies are complex and frequently change. Immediate investigation and legal representation are of substantial benefit.

The Horn Law Firm, P.C. obtained a $875,000.00 settlement for our clients. The father and grandmother of our clients were both killed when a semi-truck rear-ended their car causing it to catch on fire. Retention of an accident reconstructionist was key in reaching this successful result for our clients.

Our client was side-swiped by a semi-truck on westbound I-70 in Kansas City and suffered head injuries, including short-term memory loss. Horn Law obtained a $212,630.93 settlement to cover past, present, & future medical expenses, wage loss, and other damages when aggressive litigation revealed that the federal government had shut down the trucking company for repeated safety violations.

A husband and wife recovered $120,000.00 for soft tissue injuries they suffered in a chain-reaction accident caused by a truck on I-35 in Kansas. The trucking firm refused to offer fair compensation prior to Horn Law filing a lawsuit. The case was settled shortly before trial.

A confidential settlement was reached for an elderly man who suffered multiple injuries, including a broken pelvis and head trauma when he was side-swiped by a semi-truck on a state highway. The case was litigated in the United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri.

A confidential settlement was reached with several defendants for a client who suffered a sudden onset of neck injury eventually requiring pain management treatment. The settlement with the trucking firm was particularly successful because of evidence there was pre-existing injury and a prior accident.

A confidential settlement was reached for a passenger who suffered a fractured cervical spine and permanent disability when a commercial truck slid off the interstate into a roadside ditch. The case was difficult because our client was considered an “unauthorized passenger” and the fault of the driver was unclear.

A husband and wife recovered $157,500.00 for injuries they suffered in a rear-end collision caused by tractor-trailer on I-70 in Missouri. Before litigation, the trucking firm had offered a small settlement. The case was filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri.

A $229,000.00 settlement was obtained for our client who was riding as a passenger in a car when an unidentified tractor-trailer merged into our client’s lane forcing the car into the median. Uninsured motorist claims were brought against both our client’s insurance and the car he was occupying.

A $350,000.00 settlement was obtained for our client who suffered ankle fractures when she was struck by a semi-truck. The case settled pre-suit without the need for litigation.
