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!!

Liability may involve several parties, including the truck driver, trucking company, vehicle manufacturer, and even third-party contractors. Determining responsibility can be complex, often requiring investigation into driver conduct, vehicle maintenance, and adherence to industry regulations.
Can partial fault affect my claim?
Yes, contributory negligence can affect compensation. Your recovery may be reduced based on your degree of fault. Discussing your case with an attorney will help clarify how your specific jurisdiction handles shared fault.
What evidence is needed for a claim?
Key evidence includes medical records, accident reports, witness statements, photographs of the scene and vehicle damage, and expert evaluations, if necessary. This information helps establish fault and the extent of your losses.
What is a tractor trailer accident?
