How we help

A family firm ready to stand between you and the insurance company.

Commercial truck cases can involve drivers, carriers, contractors, maintenance companies, and layers of insurance. Early investigation matters. Our attorneys work to preserve evidence and identify every responsible party.

We take time to understand not only how the incident happened, but how the injury has changed your work, health, independence, and family life. That full picture guides our approach to negotiation and, when necessary, litigation.

Before your first conversation

Preparing to discuss a commercial truck crash

You do not need a complete file to contact us. Start with the facts you know; keep original documents and photographs, and tell us about any upcoming deadlines.

  • The truck’s company name, identifying numbers, plate, and photographs, if you already have them.
  • The crash report, witness details, and the location of any cameras you noticed.
  • Letters from the carrier or insurer, treatment information, and a timeline of events.

Use the initial inquiry form for a short summary. Do not send medical records, account numbers, or other highly sensitive documents through that form; ask the firm how to provide documents appropriately.

Why does early evidence preservation matter in a truck case?

Vehicle data, camera recordings, maintenance records, and driver records may help explain a collision. Some records can be overwritten or become harder to obtain with time. Tell counsel what evidence may exist so preservation requests can be considered. Do not approach a vehicle or enter private property to collect evidence.

Insurance knowledge, grounded in experience

Luciano L. “Nino” Lama worked in insurance before becoming an attorney. Learn about his insurance industry background and published insurance books. Our father-and-son firm pairs that perspective with attention to the facts of each injury claim.

Do not wait for a complete file to ask about deadlines.

Time limits depend on the claim and circumstances. Insurance requirements and claims involving public entities may require earlier action. An inquiry does not extend a deadline or establish representation. The New York Courts time-limit overview provides general information, not a determination of your deadline.
