Just before Covid shutdowns, a heavy contractor's truck plowed through an intersection in the middle of a red light at about 55 mph and hit our vehicle; we're lucky to be alive. CZ has been a fantastic support all the way. These adjectives are for EVERYONE that I encountered at CZ = Integrity + Honesty + Tenacity + Follow-through + Great Communicators + Caring + Organized + Successful. Here are a few of the names that led to success: Fahd Ali, Edward Cherkezian, Sandra Medrano, Joanna Gaspar, and many who I have forgotten, my apologies but thanks to all. Fahd Ali was my primary attorney, bringing the case to its successful conclusion. Whatever I can say here would not and could not do Fahd justice; he is 100% on your side, never presents unrealistic expectations, willing to explore best & worst case scenarios, generous with his time and depth of knowledge, sharp as they come - truly astute, and personable. I am now honored to call Fahd my friend. I highly recommend Carpenter & Zuckerman!!

Fault is determined by examining evidence like police reports, witness statements, and accident scene reconstructions. A legal team often investigates to identify the responsible party or parties.
Who can be liable in a truck accident?
Liability in a truck accident may rest with the truck driver, the trucking company, the manufacturer of truck parts, or the person responsible for truck maintenance. Each case is unique, so legal counsel can help determine liabilities.
Can I sue the trucking company directly?
Yes, you may be able to sue the trucking company if they are found liable, such as in cases of negligent hiring, inadequate training, or poor vehicle maintenance. An attorney can help determine the best approach for your situation.
What if I'm partly at fault for the accident?
If you are partially at fault, you may still recover damages under comparative negligence laws, which vary by state. Your compensation might be reduced by your percentage of fault. An attorney can help clarify this.
