Lawyers For Truck Accident Victims

Our Lawyers Represent Clients Across Long Island when They Get Injured in Truck Accidents

According to the Institute for Traffic Safety and Management and Research (ITSMR), in New York State between 2014 and 2018, large trucks were involved in 8-10% of accident fatalities. 88% of truck accidents involve other vehicles. In 2018 alone, there were over 20,000 accidents involving large trucks in NY, a number significantly higher than in 2017. Of these accidents, approximately 1600 occurred in Nassau County, 2300 in Queens, and 1400 in Suffolk County.

You might wonder why there are frequent truck accidents on Long Island. We live in a crowded region with millions of people trying to get places, including trucks trying to deliver goods. Sometimes, truck companies and truck drivers choose profits and speed over safety. The results of such misplaced priorities are truck accidents that injure and kill innocent commuters.

The weight and size of trucks mean that if you are in a truck accident, your injuries are likely going to be severe. After a truck accident in New York, you might be unable to work, unable to support your family. At Alonso Krangle, LLP, our truck accident lawyers on Long Island understand what you are going through and are here to help. We work tirelessly to help victims of truck accidents collect damages when negligence causes your accident. Our experienced truck accident lawyers at Alonso Krangle, LLP, can work on your financial recovery while you focus on your health.

What Causes Truck Accidents in Nassau, Suffolk, and Queens?

All accidents differ in various ways. However, at Alonso Krangle, LLP, our experience with truck accidents leads us to conclude that many truck accidents occur for one of several reasons. What do they all have in common? Negligence.

These are some of the common causes of truck accidents that occur on Long Island:

  • Excessive cargo – Carrying heavy cargo, or cargo that exceeds weight limits can compromise the stability of a truck. It can make it difficult to stop the truck safely. Carrying heavy cargo can also cause extraordinary damage to passenger cars and their drivers when an accident does occur.
  • Speeding – When a truck driver speeds, it is usually to meet a delivery deadline. Some trucks weigh 75,000 lbs. Imagine trying to stop safely with that much weight behind you. Speeding makes it harder, if not impossible.
  • Driving while fatigued-There are countless rules and regulations governing the trucking industry. The regulations included limiting the number of hours truck drivers may drive. However, because of deadlines, pressure from the boss, and the desire to earn, many truck drivers exceed allowable hours. Even if they drive within the restraints, truck drivers are human and get tired like the rest of us. A tired truck driver can wreak havoc on the road.
  • Driving under the influence- Driving a truck under the influence of alcohol, drugs, and prescription medicine is even more dangerous as driving while tired. Despite regulations against driving under the influence, the pressure truck drivers feel to deliver goods, please their employers and earn money, can cause them to act negligently and get behind the wheel when they should not.
  • Maintenance issues- Trucks require a tremendous amount of maintenance and inspection. When someone fails to take care of their trucks, the brakes can fail, loads can release, and tires can blowout.
  • Blind Spots – Trucks have notoriously large blind spots that make it difficult for them to see when they are turning or changing lanes. Many truck accidents occur because the drivers did not see passenger cars or people in their blind spots.

Our Truck Accident Lawyers Understand Who Might Be Legally Responsible For Your Injuries

Determining liability after a truck accident can be complicated. Why? Because there are multiple parties, who might be legally responsible. Because of the nature of trucks and the industry, there is ample room for many people to act negligently.

Who faces legal liability in a truck accident? These are some parties who often face legal responsibility for truck accidents:

  • The truck driver
  • The employer of the truck driver
  • The maintenance or inspector of the truck
  • The manufacturer of the truck
  • The manufacturer of specific parts of the truck

Hiring experienced lawyers who handle truck accidents, like ours at Alonso Krangle, LLP, is the best way to ensure you uncover the negligent party and hold the correct entity responsible for your injuries. We know what questions to ask and have a complete understanding of the rules and regulations that govern the truck driving industry. We can help you obtain the monetary damages your injuries warrant.

Injuries From Truck Accidents On Long Island Are Severe

The injuries that result from truck accidents on Long Island tend to be severe. Their massive size is no match for an ordinary passenger car. Even a minor accident with a truck can result in terrible injuries. When a truck is speeding or carrying tons of cargo, the injuries can be fatal. Some injuries common to truck accidents include paralysis, amputation, brain damage, broken bones, burns, disfigurement, spinal cord injuries, and wrongful death.

Dave Krangle Worked Restlessly On This Case Until We Won
I consider David Krangle as my attorney for many years now. Going back about 13 years ago my father was involved in a hit and run accident. David had gone the extra mile to win our case….. Mr. David Krangle worked restlessly on this case until we won the case. Since then, if anybody asks for a good attorney I recommend David Krangle with confidence. He has helped a number of my friends and relatives and they all appreciated his professionalism, prompt responses to any inquiry during case development, careful study of all details pertaining to their case. He treats his clients as family. Thank you, Mr. Krangle, wishing you a continued success, good health and prosperity.

Great law firm. Highly recommend them and I’m so glad that I found them. Everyone from David Krangle to his staff were very caring and sensitive when it came to my case.

We were very fortunate to meet David Krangle
My husband and myself had been involved in a multiple vehicle accident 5 years ago. At that time we were given the name of Mr. David Krangle, attorney. It took close to 5 years of very diligent work for Mr Krangle to complete our case to everyone’s satisfaction. During those years of endless hours and hours of work that he put into our case yet whenever we reached out to Dave (as the years allowed us to call him) he was always available to us. His patience did seem endless. His professionalism in researching everything to make our turnout perfect for us was everything we expected and let us rest knowing things are following the right path. I know we were treated with the utmost respect from various insurance companies and other attorney’s because that was something Mr Krangle made sure of. In difficult times it can be intimidating to work with a professional but we were very fortunate to meet David Krangle who had the ability to share warmth and compassion with us during a trying time. Those are traits that we admired in David Krangle and are delighted to have worked with him.

You’ll be in good hands!

I was involved in an accident and needed a good Personal Injury Attorney. A friend referred me to David Krangle of Alonso Krangle LLP. After my initial phone conversation with David, I was confident that I found the right Attorney. David was not only extremely thorough, he kept me updated on every stage of my case. Most importantly, he was always available for questions and followed-up promptly. In most cases, the same day. Since there was a 3-hour time zone difference, I was very appreciative from a client stand point.

With his expertise and guidance, I had a successful outcome. I felt very fortunate that David and his wonderful staff represented me.

If you ever find yourself in need of expert legal advice and guidance. I highly recommend you contact David Krangle of Alonso Krangle LLP. You’ll be in good hands!

Strongly Recommend Alonso Krangle As a Highly Experienced And Respected Firm

I consulted a close friend and well respected lawyer in the mid-Atlantic region regarding my hip revision surgery due to a medical device recall. Without hesitation, he strongly recommended contacting Alonso Krangle LLP to discuss my case. In his view, Alonso Krangle possessed extensive knowledge and experience in the type of litigation my case required, as well the respect of those throughout the judicial field for their professionalism. Equally as important, their personal focus on each individual’s case gives the client a feeling they are their only concern. My friend’s assessment could not have been more accurate.

Although in New York, Alonso Krangle could not have been more responsive or accommodating if they were located here in Virginia. I cannot recall a single time when my wife or I called their office and did not speak to either Andres Alonso or David Krangle. They were always completely available and ready to answer any and all of our questions. Their advice and recommendations were always honest, sincere, and accurate enabling us to plan accordingly. Legal proceedings can be a long process, but we never felt left out or forgotten thanks to timely updates initiated by Alonso Krangle. In the end, everything turned out as Alonso Krangle estimated from the beginning. I could not have expected better personal attention or concern from a family member handling my case. As with my friend, I too, would not hesitate to strongly recommend Alonso Krangle as a highly experienced and respected firm that will treat you like family.
