Commercial Vehicles and Semi Accidents
Drivers of commercial vehicles and semi trucks are normally required to be specifically trained and licensed to safely operate the commercial vehicles they drive but such training and license requirements cannot always prevent errors and mistakes that can lead to very serious accidents. Commercial drivers are sometimes pressured to meet strict deadlines, commonly required to haul dangerous cargo or drive themselves to the point of exhaustion. The sheer size and speed of the vehicles they are driving means that any accident they are involved in can cause significant injuries and devastating damages.
We work frequently with experts in this field to examine the truck, history of the driver, driving records of the company and any data recorded on the truck’s “black box”. If you have been injured in an accident involving a truck or other commercial vehicle, call us to discuss the situation. You can rely upon us to quickly and thoroughly investigate the accident and to aggressively pursue your claim for any damages and injuries you have suffered.
Typically, white collar crimes occur in a business or financial setting and are centered around economic or property gain. These crimes are viewed as non-violent, but this does not decrease the severity of the charge or the penalty.
The Annapolis white collar crime attorneys at Fratus Brady, LLC, have more than 30 combined years of trial experience available to assist clients facing serious criminal charges. We pride ourselves on thoroughly investigating the facts and circumstances that led to the filing of a criminal charge against our client. We will consult with experts as necessary to understand the nature and scope of the government’s allegations and to identify weaknesses in the prosecution’s case. Our goal is to provide our clients with an effective and aggressive defense minimizing exposure to what can be substantial and often staggering penalties.
The main aspects of white collar crimes are business fraud and embezzlement. Those two areas can be broken down into several other categories, including:
In recent years, federal, state and local law enforcement agencies have started to aggressively pursue white collar crimes. Investigations are well-funded, can last months or years and often involve multiple people. As soon as you are concerned you might be under investigation, contact our office immediately. Do not talk to law enforcement without a lawyer. You run the risk of hurting your case, even if you think you are trying to help investigators or explain the situation. Hiring experienced and knowledgeable advocates is the best way to ensure your rights are protected.
