Cement Mixer Accidents

Cement mixer accidents can be extremely dangerous. A cement mixer truck—more accurately called a concrete mixer truck, since it mixes cement with sand and gravel to create concrete—has a very high center of gravity and can weigh between 25 and 60 tons. This makes these trucks especially prone to rollovers, particularly when operated by inexperienced drivers.

We Have Successfully Handled Cement Mixer Cases

Cement trucks can roll over at speeds as low as five miles per hour when making a 90-degree turn. Additionally, these slow-moving vehicles must deliver cement quickly to prevent it from hardening, creating dangerous conditions as drivers may push their trucks beyond safe limits to meet deadlines and maximize profits. After a collision, cement trucks often spill their contents onto the street, causing further accidents and additional damage in the area.

The cement truck accident lawyers at Truck Wreck Justice are experienced in handling the complexities of cement mixer crash cases. In one instance, our firm represented a mother whose baby was injured when a cement truck rolled over and landed on their minivan, trapping them inside. The baby sustained traumatic brain injuries as a direct result of the collision.

The Truck Wreck Justice attorneys successfully demonstrated the extent of the baby’s injuries to the insurance company, resulting in a settlement that secured lifetime benefits for the child. Now, the child will have medical care, therapy, and even college expenses covered when they reach the appropriate age.

SUPER ATTORNEY
Mr. Petri handled a personal injury case for me several years ago. His investigators gathered the relevant evidence within hours after the accident. He fought like a tiger for me, and the insurance company settled shortly after he presented the evidence. Vern and his team did a super job.. I could not have been more satisfied. On another occasion I consulted with him involving a matter related to an estate. He solved my problem quickly, and a his fee was more than reasonable for his professional advice. I also worked for Mr. Petri as an expert witness with respect to economic damages from 1975 to 2005. I can testify that he is one of the best advocates a plaintiff can hire. He will take high risk cases that most other attorneys would not consider taking. By using the investigative skills he developed in the U.S. Army Intelligence Service, I have seen him uncover evidence that resulted in very large settlements and verdicts for his clients. I worked for Mr. Petri on two of those high risk cases that I believe no attorney in America could have done better for his clients. I recommend him without reservations to anyone seeking a plaintiff’s attorney.

He has a sincere heart for helping people….We are beyond blessed with the outcome… We gained so much more than just a lawyer in Mr Petri. He is our blessing, our Hero!

Thank you, Mr. Petri!
After falling at the casino and breaking my shoulder, I went through weeks and weeks of pain. I contacted Vern because I wanted the casino to be held liable. Vern immediately sent me to a specialist, and that doctor was able to help me more with my pain than any other doctors I saw before that! Vern also sued the company at fault and I am really satisfied with the outcome. The case was quick, and Mr. Petri handled it very professionally. I’ve had other attorneys before for other legal issues, but Vern was by far the best one. I was impressed that he was willing to help solve my medical problems as well as my legal problems. Thank you, Mr. Petri!
