St. Louis Tractor-Trailer Accident Lawyer Stephen Schultz was recently inducted into the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum.  Attorney Schultz was awarded a lifetime membership into both the Million Dollar Advocates Forum and Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum.  Membership requires a trial lawyer to obtain a single verdict or settlement in excess of one million dollars and in excess of two million dollars.  This elite organization was founded in 1997 and to-date has just 3000 members nationwide.  Fewer than 1% of trial lawyers in the United States share this distinction. 

Tractor-trailer accidents require exceptional legal representation from a lawyer who is focused in this practice area.  Truck accidents involve a complicated body of federal statutory authority entitled the "Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations."  These Federal Regulations set the minimum safety standards that commerical motor carriers and professional truck drivers must follow.  These laws are designed to protect other motorists who share our nation's highways with trucks that can exceed 60,000 pounds each. 

An experienced St. Louis truck accident lawyer can investigate the circumstances of the crash with its own accident reconstruction team.  It is well-known that commercial motor carriers dispatch insurance teams to the scene of a serious tractor-trailer accident within hours.  Evidence such as driver log books, trip sheets, fuel receipts, bills of laiding, and other critical documentation may be purposely or accidentally misplaced.  These types of documents are necessary for an injury victim or wrongful death claimaint to receive full and fair compensation from the negligent truck driver and negligent trucking company.  Don't be victimized twice.  Contact a lawyer immediately by calling toll-free (866) 840-3636, locally at (314) 448-0934, or by email.
