Recovering from a Truck Accident in Howard County, Maryland
When a big truck or large semi tractor-trailer crashes with a passenger-sized automobile, the results are most often catastrophic. If the truck driver’s negligence caused the accident, it must be their insurance company that is responsible for the injuries and damages they caused.
Commercial truck collisions are often caused by fatigued drivers who lose focus after hours behind the wheel. Even a minor impact from a semi-truck accident will result in a huge impact on a passenger vehicle. Huge impact equals serious and often permanent injuries. Truckers are required to exercise a higher degree of care on public roads to ensure the safety of other smaller and less protected vehicles.
Why Settling Quickly With Trucking Companies Is Not Advised
Most large hauling companies have full-time investigators on staff whose main function is to work to establish the least amount of liability in any truck accident. While the injured person recovers from the damages, the truck’s insurance company actively works to reduce the amount of compensation they will be forced to pay, hoping to obtain a quick settlement.
Let the Maryland truck accident lawyers at Shapiro Zwanetz & Lake balance the scales to make sure you get an appropriate personal injury reimbursement. There will be no rush to settlement. While you recover, your lawyers at Shapiro Zwanetz & Lake will work tirelessly to protect you.

"Mr. Lake's reputation for integrity, diligence and competence which he earned as a former Assistant States Attorney and while he has been in private practice aided him in achieving the result he did."I am a retired Attorney who recommended a personal friend to Justin Lake. I received his name by speaking with an old friend of mine who is still considered one of the top criminal lawyers in Maryland. My friend was clearly guilty of driving while impaired as was evidenced by a video taken at the scene by the investigating officer and the fact that he failed the breathalyzer test. A verdict of Probation Before Judgement or Guilty would have been life altering for him and his family in that it could have resulted in his deportation from this Country and the absolute prohibition of his being able to apply for admission of his family in to the United States. My friend had learned that he had been granted asylum three days before he was charged. Aside from that charge he had an impeccable record. He is employed by a continuing care community where his service is valued which is evidenced by the excellent job reviews he has consistently received. Mr. Lake was engaged to represent him and charged a fee customary for representing someone charged with such an infraction. I know from my experience that he expended far more time on the case than he was compensated for, but he did not ask for an increase in the fee. He spoke multiple times with an Assistant State's Attorney of the County as well as the States Attorney, removed the case to a higher Court and with the Assistant State's Attorney met with the Circuit Court Judge of the County. At that meeting Mr. Lake introduced a legal opinion prepared by my friend's immigration attorneys with whom he conferred which set forth the aforementioned consequences that would ensue were any judgment aside from a PBJ(C) entered. It is the only judgment that would not impact his and his family's immigration status. Such a judgment is extremely rare. I am of the opinion that Mr. Lake's reputation for integrity, diligence and competence which he earned as a former Assistant States Attorney and while he has been in private practice aided him in achieving the result he did.- Rosser
