At the law offices of Winters, Yonker & Rousselle, PSC, we are known as "the aggressive attorneys." Indeed, we work aggressively to represent the rights of truck accident victims. Our clients often come to us from communities throughout Kentucky and Indiana, such as New Albany and Jeffersonville. As personal injury lawyers, we strive to ensure that our clients receive the highest quality medical care available. We work to help them obtain full and fair compensation for losses and expenses associated with the injury.

The Semi Tractor Trailer Collision

Typically, someone injured in a New Albany area truck accident is in a coma from the time of the impact, and may have no memory of the crash. Our attorneys work closely with investigators who examine evidence to discover the truth about the accident and / or the injury.

Topics of interest to our truck accident lawyers include the following:

• Overcrowded New Albany area traffic conditions, with no way of escape for cars when a truck turns without signaling
• Improper lane changes or turns
• Violation of right of way of other vehicles on I-65, I-64, I-265, or other streets or highways
• Transportation of hazardous chemicals, which can spill and cause inhalation injuries
• Railroad crossing accidents
• Fire or explosion resulting from the collision of a truck and a car or van
• Faulty tires, brakes, steering, or trailer couplings
• Poor traction on snowy or icy roads
• Driver exhaustion
• Poor training of the driver
• Improper or nonexistent safety inspections
