Siegel:** The firm has extensive experience in trucking cases and other cases involving commercial vehicles. And what you’ll learn is that a truck accident case is not the same as a car accident case. If you hire a lawyer who doesn’t have truck accident experience, you’re really doing yourself a disservice. **Ira Sherman:** What we feel we have accomplished by having the reputation that we do and the proven results that we have is to educate the defense lawyers as well as the insurance companies that we work with or work against on a daily basis, that we are the law firm that’s going to go to court and get the result. So you might as well pay us now and save on the defense costs. **Joseph Cammarata:** We have experience, extensive experience in dealing with tractor-trailer injuries. We evaluate those cases. We understand what the requirements are for truckers—from how many hours they’re supposed to be on the road, to holding their commercial license, to operating a tractor-trailer safely. We bring all of that knowledge and experience to our cases to understand just why there was a failure on the part of the truck driver in causing the collision. **Allan M. Siegel:** You have to know the rules and regulations that truck drivers are required to adhere to. These rules are critical because trucks can cause catastrophic damage. When you have a truck versus a car, it’s not even close. It’s important to hire a lawyer who has the experience with those types of cases, and the law firm of Chaikin, Sherman, Cammarata & Siegel does. ### **Trucking Accidents: Expertise in Complex Cases** Trucking accidents are not the same as car accidents—they require specialized knowledge of federal regulations, commercial vehicle laws, and extensive experience handling these complex cases.
