Truck Accident Attorneys in Laurel

Injured in a Truck Accident? Call Our Firm for Legal Help!

Trucking is a fact of life on our streets and highways. Surrounded by the D.C. Beltway, I-95, I-495, and other major roadways, McGowan & Cecil, LLC is not far from the scene of many car and truck accidents. Big rig 18-wheelers are the equivalent of warehouses on wheels. A passenger car is no match for a semi tractor-trailer, and for this reason, crashes involving cars and trucks nearly always result in catastrophic injury or death for the passengers and drivers of the automobiles. In contrast, a truck driver may not be injured at all.

Whether you were injured while driving or riding in a car or were injured as a truck driver, you should have your case evaluated by a knowledgeable and aggressive truck accident attorney in Laurel as soon as possible. The sooner you have a lawyer on your case, the more likely it is that the investigation will be fruitful and the truth will come about as to why the accident happened.
