Attorneys Represent Semi-Truck Crash Victims in Philadelphia and Across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York

The trucking industry has a lot more regulations than other automobile industries. Due to the size and mass of these vehicles, as well as the difficulty of operating the vehicles, auto accidents involving trucks (especially commercial-sized trucks) often result in catastrophic injuries or death. Most motor vehicles will be smaller than the truck and typically get the brunt of the devastation in a truck accident. If you or a loved one has suffered serious injuries or a loss of life due to a truck accident in Philadelphia, contact the Marrone Law Firm, LLC today to get guidance on your claim, financial compensation for the damages, and justice against the irresponsible or negligent truck driver.
