Experienced New York Trucking Accident Attorneys Represent the Injured
Jamaica law firm holding responsible parties accountable
Because trucks are heavier and larger than cars, accidents involving trucks tend to cause more severe injuries and have a higher fatality rate. Many trucking accidents can be avoided if truck drivers and responsible companies act with a minimum standard of care. When they do not, the attorneys at Aguwa & Metu, P.C. help you prove those companies’ and individuals’ negligence and liability in cases involving:
- Driver fatigue
- Aggressive driving behavior
- DUI/DWI
- Unsafe road conditions, such as snow, ice, rain or fog
- Unlicensed or untrained drivers
- Truck rollovers
- Oversized trucks
- Overloaded trucks
- Tire blowouts
- Brake failure
- Poor truck maintenance
- Mechanical defects
- Tractor-trailers and 18-wheelers
Our attorneys have experience representing the injured in all types of commercial vehicle accident cases.

Efficient lawyers immediately available
After a truck accident, trucking company personnel quickly converge on the scene to gather evidence for their defense. At Aguwa & Metu, P.C., we match the immediacy of their response. We measure and photograph the scene of the accident to preserve such crucial evidence as skid marks and vehicle positioning. We talk to witnesses while their memories are fresh. We also take notice of any special circumstances that would indicate whether driver intoxication or fatigue, improper truck loading, or mechanical failure played a role in the collision.
