Even though they are frequently discussed together, car accidents and truck accidents are two very different types of personal injury cases. When you are pursuing a car accident claim, you will mostly be dealing with the other driver and their insurance company. In contrast, several other additional parties are often involved in a truck accident case.
Trucking companies may have their own set of lawyers and investigators who are dedicated to protecting the company’s interests. This can make the truck accident claims process much more complex than a car accident claim. Additionally, the injuries sustained by truck accident victims are often more severe, since passenger vehicles often have difficulty withstanding the impact of a commercial tractor-trailer.
However, each type of claim can present unique challenges. In many situations, the victim of a car or truck accident will not know the exact details of what happened until a thorough investigation is performed. Defective vehicle parts, dangerous roadways, and other unforeseen factors should all be carefully evaluated. No two accidents are exactly the same, and you should approach your case with this in mind.
If you have been injured, or if your loved one has been killed in a car accident or truck accident, make sure you are getting the compensation you deserve.

When a high school football player suffers a hard hit and gets up again, most people assume that he has not been seriously injured. Unfortunately, it is all too easy to sustain a concussion without being knocked out. In fact, it is believed less than 10% of athletes who suffer concussions lose consciousness. Because of this, many high school athletes have played without knowing they had suffered a traumatic brain injury.
Every year, about 136,000 high school student athletes suffer concussions. This is troubling considering the fact that teenage brains are still growing and maturing at this stage in their lives. Overcompetitive coaches have tried to downplay a student’s potential injury. Many students have done the same in an attempt to get back into the game. It is important that these students are carefully examined to ensure they are not put at risk.
If your child has suffered a brain injury while playing high school sports, experienced injury attorney Jerrold Mayro can help ensure rights are protected. In many situations, the long-term consequences of head injuries are unknown at the time the incident occurred.
If serious complications arise in the weeks and months to come, we can help you face them; you are not alone. Contact Phoenix brain injury lawyer Jerrold A. Mayro at The Mayro Law Firm today to schedule a free consultation.

Each personal injury claim comes with its own unique set of circumstances. An experienced personal injury lawyer will take several different factors into account when determining the value of your claim. This can take time, since many influential details may not become apparent until a full investigation has taken place.
Two of the most significant factors that will influence the value of your personal injury claim are:
- The extent of the damage or injury – Your medical bills, the frequency and length of your treatment, and whether you have temporary or permanent impairment will all be examined to determine the extent of your losses.
- Who was at fault – More than one party may be at fault for an accident. Deciding which parties can be held responsible (and how much fault is assigned to each party) is one of the most important aspects of your claim.
If an insurance company still refuses to offer you a reasonable settlement – despite investigations, correspondence, and filing papers in court – your case may need to go to trial. Phoenix personal injury trial lawyer Jerrold Mayro has the experience pursuing all types of personal injury claims. The Mayro Law Firm is fully prepared to pursue your case as far as it needs to go to fight for fair compensation.

Truck drivers, in general, are typically skilled in what they do. Each day they traverse the country bringing us needed goods. Unfortunately, we only seem to hear about them where there are truck accidents. There are many contributing factors when it comes to truck accidents. Some of them are not necessarily just the fault of the driver, but the company for which they work. In the event of a truck accident, you want an accident lawyer who can help discover all the responsible parties and hold them liable. Phoenix truck accident lawyer, Jerrold Mayro can help you bring your personal injury claim.
Although truck accidents involving big rigs are relatively uncommon, when they do occur they are accompanied by greater damage in both property and lives. Typically, passengers of other vehicles, not the drivers of the truck, pay the price when a truck accident does occur. Some of the more frequent causes in a trucking accident may include:
- Speeding
- Driver fatigue
- Intoxication or stimulant use
- Distracted driving
Many of these contributing factors also apply in other automobile accidents. Unlike typical motor vehicle accidents, trucking accidents may also be the result of the following:
- Unrealistic schedules
- Long hours
- Improper loads
- Lack of training
In many cases, these underlying causes can be attributed to the company for which the driver works. These factors may even be what contribute to the obvious causes listed above. For example, a driver running under an especially tight schedule may turn to artificial stimulants in order to drive longer hours. Taking artificial stimulants can be counterproductive. In order to sort out all the intricacies of who is at fault in a trucking accident, you want to work with an attorney that has accident experience.
To find out more about your legal options in the event of a trucking accident, please contact Phoenix truck accident lawyer Jerrold Mayro as soon after the accident as possible.
