Bettendorf, Iowa And Quad Cities Trial Attorney

We Can Help, If You’ve Been In A Truck Accident

Accidents involving semi trucks and other large vehicles usually result in catastrophic injuries. The sheer size and weight of a tractor-trailer makes it unlikely that other drivers and passenger will walk away from a semi-truck crash. People injured in serious truck accidents need to consult an attorney about their options; they may be entitled to compensation and damages.

An Experienced Attorney Working for You

At the Bettendorf, Iowa, Iowa, law firm of Tyler & Associates, PC, attorney M. Leanne Tyler assists clients who suffered injuries such as brain injuries, spinal cord injuries and other catastrophic injuries. An attorney since 1981, she is able to evaluate a truck accident case quickly and determine the best strategy for obtaining payment for:

  • Medical expenses
  • Past and future wages
  • Rehab expenses
  • Pain and suffering
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
