Holding responsible parties accountable
Because trucks are heavier and larger than cars, trucking accidents involving semis tend to cause more severe injuries and have a higher fatality rate. Many trucking accidents can be avoided if truck drivers and responsible companies act with a minimum standard of care. When they do not, the attorneys at the Law Offices of Bob Osburn use our more than 60 years of combined legal experience to try to prove those companies’ and individuals’ negligence and liability in cases involving:
- Distracted driving
- Driver fatigue
- Aggressive driving behavior
- DUI/DWI
- Unsafe driving conditions, such as snow, ice, rain or fog
- Unlicensed or untrained drivers
- Truck rollovers
- Oversized trucks
- Overloaded trucks
- Tire blowouts
- Brake failure
- Poor truck maintenance
- Mechanical defects
- Tractor-trailers and 18-wheelers
- Duplicate log entries

Efficient lawyers immediately available
After a truck accident, trucking company personnel quickly converge on the scene to gather evidence for their defense. At the Law Office of Bob Osburn, we match the immediacy of their response. We measure and photograph the scene of the accident to preserve such crucial evidence as skid marks and vehicle positioning. We talk to witnesses while their memories are fresh. We also take notice of any special circumstances that would indicate whether driver intoxication or fatigue, improper truck loading, or mechanical failure played a role in the collision.
You may deserve appropriate compensation for your injuries
Our attorneys employ a practical, professional approach in an effort to help you obtain full and fair recovery for your injuries, including damages for past and future medical bills, lost income, emotional distress, and pain and suffering. If you have lost a loved one in a trucking accident, we can file a wrongful death suit on your behalf. Our attorneys obtain the best possible recovery by applying their extensive litigation experience and settlement negotiations skills. Because we believe all injured people have the right to competent representation, we accept cases on a contingency basis. This means you pay nothing for our services unless we win your case.
