Kansas City’s position as a major shipping corridor with commercial semi-trucks traveling on I-29, I-35, I-435, I-470, and I-70 makes catastrophic truck collisions an unfortunate reality. When these devastating accidents occur, choosing Langdon & Emison as your truck accident attorneys can make all the difference in your case outcome.
Our firm specializes in handling the complex and contentious issues unique to truck accident claims. Here’s how our Kansas City truck accident lawyers stand out from the crowd.
Specialized knowledge and experience that sets us apart
At Langdon & Emison, we don’t just handle truck accident claims—we specialize in them. Our attorneys possess an exceptional understanding of the unique challenges these cases present, including comprehensive knowledge of Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations that govern commercial drivers and trucking companies.
Many truck accidents result from violations of these federal regulations, and our specialized expertise allows us to quickly identify exactly where truckers or their employers failed to comply with the law. Our deep familiarity with trucking industry practices means we readily recognize when drivers have neglected to follow safety protocols.
FMCSA expertise that works for you
While Missouri sets its own commercial driving regulations, our attorneys understand that federal FMCSA regulations take precedence. Our team stays current on all regulatory changes, allowing us to immediately spot instances where drivers have violated federal laws regarding:
- Commercial Driver’s License requirements
- Mandatory operating hours
- Required rest breaks
- Vehicle maintenance standards
- Safety protocols
Proven trial experience when it matters most
Truck accident claims are significantly more likely to go to trial than typical car accident cases, particularly when liability is contested. At Langdon & Emison, our attorneys have successfully tried dozens of truck accident cases, maintaining composure and effectiveness under the pressures of court proceedings.
What truly distinguishes our firm is that other law firms regularly consult with us about their own truck accident cases. This recognition from our peers speaks to our reputation as industry leaders in this specialized field.
