Semi-truck accidents involve very different issues than car accidents. The laws governing semi-trucks and the trucking industry are very different than those governing passenger cars. Accident attorney Denise Henning has the experience necessary to handle these complex cases. Semi-truck cases involve the application and interpretation of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations which govern the everyday tasks of the truck driver and the trucking company such as keeping accurate logbooks and recording hours of service, maintaining the truck, loading and unloading, random and post-accident drug and alcohol testing, and the qualifications, training and supervision of the drivers. America's highways are flooded with large semi-trucks trying to meet delivery deadlines imposed by their employers. Trucking companies have difficulty finding enough qualified drivers and so they resort to hiring unqualified drivers, pushing their drivers to deliver even when they are fatigued and ignoring substance abuse problems with drivers. These practices lead to more accidents. The Henning Law Firm has handled all of these issues in previous semi-truck cases. In Taliaferro v. Green Valley Trucking, Denise Henning obtained an $8 million verdict for the wife and parents of a young National Guard pilot who died on 50 Highway near Lone Jack, MO after being hit by a semi-truck driven by an inexperienced driver. The jury also awarded punitive damages but the case settled prior to the jury reaching a monetary punitive award. Personal Injury The Henning Law Firm represents the victims of personal injury regardless of whether the injury arose from a car accident, a work-related incident, products liability, medical malpractice, or a highway defect. When you or your family member has suffered an injury, you need someone you can trust to help you get your medical bills paid, recover for lost wages, and receive compensation for the pain and suffering you or your family member has experienced. Personal injury cases are more complex than they initially appear. A quick settlement is usually not the best outcome for you. At The Henning Law Firm, we will thoroughly investigate every detail of your case to determine what happened and who is responsible. We will hire the medical experts and accident reconstructionists that will help present your case to the jury. The Henning Law Firm will make sure your insurance company does everything it should to protect you and make sure the insurance company of the wrongdoer accepts responsibility for your injuries. When your livelihood and the future stability of your family is at stake, you want to hire a lawyer with the experience it takes to make sure you are fully compensated for your injuries. Product Liability Dangerous and defective products can cause serious injury, and be a contributing factor in other injuries. When a manufacturer designs a product, it must keep in mind all reasonable foreseeable uses and design a product that is reasonably safe. Whether the product is a tire that falls apart, a dishwasher that catches on fire, a medical device that fails or a baby product that causes harm, experience in product liability law is very important. It is essential to discover other injured individuals with similar injuries to prove your case to the jury. Highway Defects If you have been injured in an accident caused by or made worse by a defect in the design of the highway, The Henning Law Firm, can help you pursue compensation for your personal injuries. At the The Henning Law Firm, we have experience in highway defect litigation and know where to look and what information to acquire to prove that the defect was the cause or a contributing cause of your injuries. Suing the highway department is different than suing another motorist or corporate entity. There are certain laws that pertain only to the highway department. Wrongful Death If a loved one has been killed due to another's negligence, The Henning Law Firm can pursue a wrongful death claim for you. A loved one's death can devastate a family both financially and emotionally. At The Henning Law Firm, we can help put the pieces back together for your family so you can begin the healing process and avoid financial and emotional devastation. Workplace Accidents Catastrophic injury in the workplace may involve a third party liability claim and claims for workers compensation benefits. If a third party, other than the employer, is at fault there may be an avenue of recovery other than workers compensation benefits. Contact us if you have been injured on the job and you think someone besides your employer may be partially at fault. At The Henning Law Firm, we will do the investigation necessary to determine who all the responsible parties might be and help you recover for your personal injuries. Medical Malpractice Even good doctors can make mistakes and should be held accountable when they do. The Henning Law Firm, is a woman-owned law firm that has experience in handling medical malpractice cases involving a variety of medical procedures, surgeries and medications. We work together with medical experts to determine if there is a meritorious case that involves more than just a judgment call on the part of the doctor.
