Interesting Lawyers Podcast: Truck Accident Lawyer Joe Camerlengo
TRANSCRIPT
This is the Lawyer Better podcast. I’m Russell Adler, your host. The purpose of this podcast is to showcase great lawyers, established lawyers, prominent lawyers, and up -and -coming lawyers, and to delve into their strategy, tactics, and mindset. so you can build a better and more successful and more lucrative practice.
Today’s guest is Joe Camerlingo from the Truck Accident Law Firm, a nationally prominent boutique firm specializing in truck accidents, in truck accidents only. Now, by way of disclosure, Joe is a double gator. He went to University of Florida undergrad in University of Florida. of Florida law school.
I went to undergrad at University of Florida. I couldn’t get into the law school there, so I went elsewhere. So some of you might have strong feelings about the Gators, Seminoles, and whatever, but we’re not here to talk about college or college football,
so I just wanted to get that out of the way. Joe is also a national speaker on truck litigating. and truck accident cases,
and he’s the host of the podcast, Joe Knows Trucks. And with that, introducing Joe Camerlingo. Joe, how are you doing today? Thanks for coming on the podcast.
I’m doing great, Russ. Thank you for that very kind introduction. Okay. And where does this podcast find you today? I’m actually just in my office in Jacksonville, Florida at the home base right now. Warned a few days this year.
year. Right, so you guys have two offices, one in Atlanta and one in Jacksonville, but you work on trucking cases nationally, is that correct? Yeah, we go all over the country handling these cases as co -counsel,
yes sir. You know, before we get into it, I just wanted to share my own very limited experience when I practiced with trucking cases, not sure if I got any of them right in hindsight, but my first one was something that happened on the Turnpac extension.
down between Miami and the Keys, and the trailer got loose from a truck, and it was full of dead alligators. Trappers were bringing back their load of alligators,
and there were alligators scattered all over the highway. So I thought it was going to be a really interesting and exciting case to handle until I found out that there was no insurance, and so I worked out a barter deal with the guy who owned the alligator company.
and I ended up with some beautiful alligator accessory shoes, wallets. He even wrapped a suitcase and alligator skin for me and I asked him if he could create like a wetsuit that I could wear out of alligator skin so if I ran into an alligator they would think I’m another alligator.
That didn’t work out. My wife ended up in the divorce getting the suitcase coated with alligator. It didn’t even end up with that. But I did have fond memories and the lesson I learned was sometimes let the experts handle these things.
So I understand that well now I know you do exclusively trucking cases but I know you started out as a surfer. So can you give us a little bit of background and tell us how you went from being a surfer to being a nationally prominent trucking lawyer?
Well it’s funny I went to UF I was a big surfer We grew up in Ponsonland. When we moved down from New York, we lived in South Florida and Palm Beach area for about a year or two,
and then we moved to Ponsonland. And so I grew up surfing. I thought it was the coolest thing. We would surf almost every day before school, after school, weekends, and wound up getting a scholarship. I was never the best surfer in the water,
Russ, but I was out working most of them. So, and, you know, while we were out there in a free session, somebody could do better tricks than me. and all that stuff, but in an actual heat for 15 or 30 or 45 minutes,
I was out paddling them, out hustling, out working them for the best waves, riding for the most moves for the longest. I knew what the judges wanted, and so I was able to get a scholarship and was captain of the UF surf team one year.
It was a lot of fun. And how has that translated into surfing the waves of litigation in trucking cases like this? with sharks swimming around you, other types of sharks?
Well I think what you heard there is there’s a lot of surfers, I was out working them and that’s exactly what we do. There may be lawyers that are smarter than me out there but there’s no one that’s working harder than we are when it comes to preparing these cases.
Okay now let’s just talk about truck accidents, truck crashes generally speaking. How many truck crashes a year involving large truck or buses and things like that?
Are there any United States on average? Well, there’s almost 300 ,000 crashes involving commercial motor vehicles, over 160 ,000 injury wrecks,
and over 5 ,000 fatal crashes every year. And doing my own research, I found something that says as of 2021, there had been a 49 % increase in large large truck accidents over the past 10 years.
My question is, on one hand, even though we’re able to now send rovers to drive around on Mars, why can’t we make trucks and trucking safer? Why is that on the increase and is it still?
Absolutely. The trend is scary. There was a timeframe in ’07, ’08 where the numbers went down a little bit when the economy went down, and then after that it’s just been going up every year.
And there’s a lot of things that go into that. One is the number of trucks on the road, Amazons of the world, Walmart now has their own trucking fleet. And so the number of actual tractor trailers on the road has increased exponentially.
The industry will tell you that per miles driven, those are great statistics. 5 ,000 fatal crashes, by the way, that’s just a crash and most of those crashes or many of those crashes,
multiple people die. So that’s not 5 ,000 deaths. The number of deaths is actually much higher than that. Those crashes continue to increase. The technology that’s out there,
some of it is great, but many of it leads to more distractions, e -logs, tablet devices, things that the truck drivers can do in the vehicle other than paying attention to the roadway ahead.
[VIDEO PLAYBACK] – Yeah, like tech– texting, right? Yes, absolutely. We see it all the time. Yeah. We’ve all seen you drive by a tractor trailer and there’s, you know, the guy or girl driving the trucks got their phone up and they’re freaking texting or watching a show,
et cetera. In fact, of course, passenger vehicles do it too, right? Yeah. But I’ve seen, I know a lot of these trucks have dash cams in them and I’ve seen at least one dash cam video taken for a night crash.
and in the video you can actually see the reflection of the driver’s cell phone and he’s like texting as he’s driving and you can see that on the screen.
Is that a fairly common thing that you see? Oh yeah. In fact, I think that’s my case for us. We have a presentation I think you saw me do. I’ve actually have two of those cases right now. It’s funny,
the defense lawyer will only voluntarily give you the dash cam cam footage or the trucking company if they think it helps their case In both of those cases, they volunteered the dash camera to us thinking it helped them And then we could see in the reflection of the windshield because it was only a forward -facing Dash camera the guys hand on the phone and you scroll one up and down you see mags actually Looking at
the phone you can see the face of the phone changing and it being used as they drive right into traffic. – I think you call that multitasking, but the problem is that this person is not just driving a car,
that’s dangerous enough. This guy’s driving– – A reckless endangerment. – Yeah, a big truck. And I know that there are other laws and regulations we’re gonna get into that govern trucking versus just regular vehicles,
but is it generally true that a crash between two motor vehicles might have– one value, but the same crash with the same, even the same injuries involving a truck might have quite a different value.
Can you just explain that overall for our listeners? Absolutely. I say all the time, whatever injuries you have in a car crash case, it’s worth three times as much in a trucking case because the force equals mass times acceleration.
So, the force that’s involved in that impact is significantly greater. And so the injuries are definitely usually going to be larger. Juries will award more money against the trucking company. They will against mom and pop or just a mother or father driving a car that caused the same wreck.
And so the level of injuries often is higher. But also if you can prove the aggravated liability for the same injury, if the truck driver was over hours on the phone,
running late, destroying the truck. whatever it is, fatigued, those are things that can increase the value of the case. And what about the fatigue factor generally?
My understanding is that one of the reasons there was a shortage of truck drivers is because it’s so tough, there’s so many demands, and fatigue plays such a big role in causing these crashes.
Is that accurate? 100 % accurate. accurate. It’s the number one or two most significant concern in the industry every year has to do with cell phone distraction and then fatigue.
They’re usually in the top three every year of what the industry says that they’re most concerned about. Here’s why. You don’t have to be over hours to be fatigued. If a trucking company has a driver driving through the night,
through the night, by day, by day, through the night, by day, by day, by day. and they’re never getting a chance to settle into their circadian rhythms, then you could have plenty of hours of on duty time left and plenty of hours of driving left ’cause it’s 14 hours,
max on duty, 11 hours drive time with a 30 minute break within eight hours. So you can still have plenty of hours left and be fatigued. And the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations say,
you cannot drive a tractor trailer if you can’t drive a tractor trailer if you can’t drive a tractor trailer if you can’t drive a tractor trailer if you can’t drive a tractor trailer if you can’t drive a tractor trailer if you can’t drive a tractor trailer if you can’t drive a tractor trailer if you can’t drive a tractor trailer if you can’t drive a tractor trailer if you can’t drive a tractor trailer if you can’t
drive a tractor trailer if you can’t drive a tractor trailer if you can’t drive a tractor trailer if you can’t drive a tractor trailer if you can’t drive a tractor trailer if you can’t drive a tractor trailer if you can’t drive a tractor trailer if you can’t drive a tractor trailer if you can’t drive a tractor trailer if you can’t drive a tractor trailer trailer if you can’t drive a tractor trailer trailer if you
can’t drive a tractor trailer trailer if you can’t drive a tractor trailer trailer if you can’t drive a tractor trailer trailer if you can’t drive a tractor trailer trailer if you can’t drive a tractor trailer trailer if you you’re fatigued or ill, regardless of whether you have hours left to drive under your maximum on duty hours. Now interestingly, I saw another statistic that says that in the majority of these truck
crash cases, it’s actually not the driver’s fault. At least what I read was 90 .6 % of truck drivers involved in fatal crashes did not even receive a moving violation. So what’s the story with that?
Well, that’s the story. I say horse shit on the air? Well, you just did and that’s okay. So here’s the deal. Not all of these cases are the truck driver’s fault.
That’s true. Very often, however, they’re not cited. And here, I mean, it’s the biggest problem out there. The crash happens. Our client is killed. The decedent,
the family of hires, their loved one is dead. The only version of the events that the police are getting is what the officer tells them at the scene. They’re not doing a full investigation like we do.
And even when there is a traffic homicide investigation, oftentimes they’re just looking at the root cause, what initially put the vehicle there, what may have happened. They’re not looking at the trucking standards about what’s reasonable for a professional truck driver.
That’s different time than what’s reasonable for you or I driving our passenger vehicle. What’s reasonable driving an 80 ,000 pound tractor trailer is different standards and the federal motor carrier safety regulations apply.
So the police that are investigating this, first of all, they don’t want to give a truck driver a ticket unless there’s drugs, alcohol, over hours, cell phone, those type of things because they’re worried about taking away their livelihood.
So it doesn’t surprise me that they’re not cited, but those statistics are are so skewed by the industry. It’s simply not accurate. And the vast majority of crashes that they’re including are the property damage crashes,
not the injury and fatality crashes. Right. The property crashes, like the one with the alligators all over the road, I explained. That’s true. Right. I mean, the tough part. And why it’s called alligator alley now. Different roadway,
but it’s an alligator highway for sure. At least it was. on that day. So Joe, on your website it says, and I quote, “You don’t want a car crash lawyer on a truck case.” So generally speaking,
can you tell our listeners why that’s the case and also how important it is to do investigation as soon as a call comes in on a potential case, as opposed to waiting several months.
We’re just not spending the money to do an investigation, as some lawyers… lawyers do it. Having a board -certified trucking attorney makes such a difference in these cases,
Russ. Literally in about 85 % to 90 % of the cases, we can find more liable parties or more coverage to get above that million dollar limit that other people are, a lot of these lawyers that advertise for trucking,
they may handle thousands of trucking cases, but they’re settling them at or under the million dollar limit. and in the catastrophic trucking case, they’re telling the client there’s only a million having the boohoo meeting with them and then going out to celebrate dinner because they just made a $400 ,000 fee in three months,
not realizing they’re committing malpractice because there was trailer coverage, there was broker -shipper potential, there was a hidden motor carrier, and they didn’t know to do the investigation early enough to get that information Right.
We don’t settle those cases for that initial money We didn’t even consider settling in the beginning that we have the vast majority of our cases They’re offering the million right away and we say to them This family hired us to do three things one to tell them exactly what happened and who is responsible to to find out all potential assets and avenues of insurance to for them and then three free to get justice and
along the way hopefully we can make it so this doesn’t happen to anybody anybody else’s family. So you shouldn’t even be talking about settling for the million unless you know is there trailer coverage is there a hidden motor carrier.
To do that you’ve got to get the documents early and you have to send the key preservation letters early. Right and just from hearing your answer is obviously a lot of terminology involved.
involved that is unique to trucking It’s almost like a different language You know I heard this term deadheading and I thought it was like going to a grateful dead concert But that’s a term of art in trucking cases among others And is that why you say that you don’t want a car crash lawyer on a truck crash case because of the complexities?
Involved in the fact that you know if a if a tractor trailer runs into into a car, some lawyers might just think, okay, well, I can sue the driver, and I can sue the owner,
and that’s it. So is that, are we on to something there? 100%. I can give you dozens and dozens of examples that we’ve handled throughout the years, but the biggest thing to understand,
you know, these volume average, these people advertising for trucking, if you’ve got a soft tissue injury, a bump in a a red light, they’re probably fine for that. If you have a catastrophic injury, a death,
paraplegia, surgeries, traumatic brain injuries, burns, those cases need experienced board -certified trucking lawyers.
There’s only, I think, 50 or 60 in the entire country that have been certified by the National Board of Trial Advocates through the American Bar Association to claim and to be vetted to have both the experience and the knowledge to handle these trucking cases,
but we have cases all the time where there’s a million dollars in coverage. We ask for the trailer coverage for us. The vast majority of lawyers never ask for the trailer coverage because they think in order to get to the coverage on the trailer attached to the tractor that you got to prove the trailer contributed to the crash,
bad brakes, broken broken kingpin, something related to the trailer. It’s simply not the case. In almost all of these cases, the trailer has separate insurance coverage with permissive use language like you loaned me your car.
So when the truck driver hooks up to that trailer and drives away with the permission of the trailer owner, the truck driver is covered not just by the truck driver’s insurance and the trucking company, but by the trailer coverage as well.
[BLANK _AUDIO] other interesting factoid before we get in a little deeper into the nuances of truck accident cases, the highest risk age group for these large truck drivers is 16 to 19 years old.
First of all, isn’t that true of all automobile drivers in general? Well, I think that’s– go ahead, sir. No, but what about with trucks? I mean, I didn’t even think that they’d allow a 16 -year -old– with a driver’s license to get behind the wheel of a truck.
Well they don’t. In order to drive over 26 ,000 pounds and to have a class A CDL, you still have to be 21. There is a pilot program now for 18, and you can get it a little early if you drove trucks in the military and have a military CDL license.
So there are some ways to get it under 21 for the large vehicles, but for the smaller commercial vehicles, you’re right. You just have to have an operator’s license. You’re taking the highest risk, the studies show that men don’t develop our full frontal cortex until age 25,
which is why your insurance rates go down at age 25, allegedly, as long as you have a decent driving record. The part that doesn’t get developed is the judgment and risk reward systems.
Those are why, you know, young people. teenagers, take more risk than as you get older and then females in general. And so to put those highest risk drivers behind the wheel of up to 80 ,000 pound tractor trailers is frightening.
It is. And in fact, you know, every time I’m on I -95 and I drive past a tractor trailer, I think of you for better or for worse. And all the warnings,
one of the One of the videos on your website is to watch out for blowouts on trucks when you’re driving past them on the highway. I find that quite terrifying because you actually went to the extent of making a video about that.
Can you tell us what percentage of these truck crashes involve blowouts or equipment failures that cause sudden and probably unavoidable crashes? Well, I don’t know that I can give you the percentage because it varies year to year.
What I can tell you is it happens hundreds of times every day in the United States, if not thousands of times. Not just tire blowouts, but tires coming off and going down the highway,
these big huge tractor trailer tires going down the highway, usually they go off into the woods is why you don’t hear about it all the time. But when they do come across and hit vehicles head on,
it cuts. the vehicle in half and usually kills everybody involved. But the tire blowouts, you see those, what people call gators ironically after your case example earlier,
Russ, but you see those big tire treads. A lot of tractor trailers use retreads. It’s actually permitted for them to use retreads, and if they do a cheap retread, they blow out all the time on the highway,
and I don’t know if you’ve ever been around one, but the first time it ever happened was. was pretty far away from me and it literally sound like a gun went off. And, you know, you see people, there’s smoke, there’s a big explosion stuff,
it’s your car. And what you see, unfortunately, the truck driver doesn’t even feel that basically. He or she’s just driving along, but the vehicles next to them, they panic.
And so a tire will blow up like that. And the next thing you know, the car driver will yank the wheel left or right. and go either into head -on traffic, off into the woods, or cause a crash. So you really have to,
as you’re passing a truck or you’re near a truck, both hands on the wheel and just assume that that thing’s coming and prepare yourself for that. Another thing that caught my eye is your analogy that trucking cases are like icebergs.
So, again, it’s not just necessarily the driver or the owner of the truck. that vehicle, as is the case with private vehicles, but it’s quite different with trucking.
So in answering that, aside from what you’ve already told us, could you just give our listeners the idea of the levels and layers of complexities that are involved? They say the devil is in the details.
I think this is the perfect case for that. I actually have a graphic here that you can see that we can send to you on the iceberg and all the different things. that that go into these cases right so above the surface any any lawyer can see any good PI lawyer can see a tractor a trailer a driver and a motor carrier so it’s more coverage in a big wreck but it’s all the complexities of those cases that are below
the surface that you have to know where to look that’s the below the surface analogy in order to get to those additional coverage I can give you dozens of examples from the family of six hit head -on,
six -week -old baby died, five people injured, all kinds of horribleness. One million in coverage offered within a week of the crash. We insisted on getting the trailer coverage,
insisted they were like, no, the trailer didn’t contribute to the crash, whatever. We finally get the trailer coverage. 228 million in coverage, every one of them are permissive use policy. but made the truck driver permissive user of the trailer.
So if we had settled with the truck driver for the million and said, okay, we still preserve our claims against everyone else, we would have been giving up on $228 million in coverage for this family. That’s just one example.
Vessel operating common carriers, the shipping company, if it’s a container on a chassis, those type of vehicles, typically whatever ship brought that into the U .S. they have a contract that says they’re going to be responsible for the freight from pickup to delivery,
and so you can get all the way back to the shipping company, not just the trucking company that’s driving it. You get the shipping company and their local agents. We’ve had that before where we’ve gotten millions and millions of dollars on top of the trucking company’s million or two by going to the vessel operating common carrier,
meaning the ship that brought it across the ocean. And then there’s. beyond just getting to the different coverages that we can find, the broker, the shipper, the hidden motor carrier,
those are all really, really specific, tricky, got to know trucking type cases. There’s another example I can give you where we just knowing the standards applicable to a professional truck driver versus a car crash lawyer make a big difference.
And Russ, I think I told you about this one. one, we had a case where two volume advertising personal injury firms had zero offer. She had just taken out a light pole with standing in the darkness of the light pole,
got run over by a tractor trailer and killed. Horrible, horrible case, horrible for the family. So two PI lawyers get that, that advertised no offer, police find her at fault, nothing the truck driver could have done,
zero offer withdraw, zero offer withdraw. They go, the family goes to a third lawyer who has a seven $70 ,000 offer on the table. That lawyer sees me speak at the FJA on truck driver duties that are different than car wreck driver duties.
It gets me involved in the case. We settled that case for $10 million. We didn’t have to go find broker, shipper, or trailer coverage. The trucking company had $26 million in coverage.
They had plenty of coverage. coverage there. We were able to get $10 million in that case because of the way that we know a truck driver who’s driving and doesn’t see a passenger in the roadway,
didn’t see her car on the side of the roadway until it was too late, it’s a dangerous truck driver who violated truck driving rules, who were able to get the settlement for the family right before trial. Right,
so by FGA you’re talking about the Florida Justices Association, right? Yes, sir. You’re active with them and you lecture to them and you’re involved? Okay. And for those who may not know,
that is the elite trial lawyer organization in the state of Florida. I refer to FGA members as the special forces of the trial lawyers. So not surprisingly,
you’re involved in that. Also, what was I going to add? Oh yeah, so you mentioned in several examples the million, the million dollars.
Is a million dollars a pretty standard coverage for an owner or operator to have at least the top layer of coverage? Well, the first layer is typically the mandatory minimum for a tractor trailer involved in interstate commerce is 750 ,000,
but most of the carriers provide a million as that, at least that first layer. layer. So aside from perhaps the two obvious defendants in a truck crash, like the owner and driver of a rig,
that would be the above the iceberg number of defendants. It sounds like you could have five, six, eight, ten, multiple, how many defendants do you have in a typical one of these cases where most of those defendants are below the iceberg?
Yeah, I would say you have… one to three broker shippers and then you can have hidden motor carriers. So, I mean, I would probably say the minimum is going to be three defendants up to we’ve had nine,
10, 11, 12 defendants just depending on how many different companies are involved. And the way to think about it is there’s a piece of freight that has to get from point A to point B, from origination to destination.
There’s a bunch of companies that arrange for or we’re in… in the transportation of that freight and then the people that got paid for it to do that. And that’s the transportation cycle.
When you track down who all, okay, this is a $2 ,000 lane. Show me where that $2 ,000 went. Those are all the potential defendants in your case. Everybody that got a piece of that two grand.
That’s a lot and those multi defendant cases can take a long time. time and I take it that many of them There’s multiple lawyers multiple carriers multiple headaches true yeah,
the The case management converts. I just went off. I think we had nine lawyers on there It’s you know scheduling anything is there’s no fun these cases do take time to do them right to investigate them right and to prosecute them Right,
but when you do you typically can get justice for the family and just by that I mean knowing what happened and why, making their loved one honored by the settlement that is obtained or going to trial,
improving it. And then finally, we try and get, as part of the settlement, a safety initiative that will prevent this from happening to anybody else’s loved ones. And how often does that really happen?
I mean, they can promise anything they want as part of a settlement, but just looking back. you know, how much of a difference does that make? I mean, you can only do so much on your side of it, but how many of them really take that to heart and make those changes?
Enough that I can tell you between me and my partners and our firms, we have saved hundreds, if not thousands of lives by the safety initiatives from requiring automatic emergency braking to the retraining of drivers at night to dash cameras being installed and,
you know, driver -facing dash cameras, we have had a lot of safety initiatives that we believe save lives every day of us. Well, that’s wonderful. And ultimately, people can bash lawsuits and knock lawyers all they want,
but the reality is that lawsuits are a big part in bringing about social and societal change, and it certainly sounds like that’s the case here. here. Our motto very simply is we’re trying to litigate ourselves out of a job.
We hope and pray that not another tractor -trailer crash occurs ever on the face of this earth. If they do occur, we hope they call board -certified trucking lawyers like us, but we literally do not want these cases to happen.
Right. But if it wasn’t for truck accident lawyers, injured people would get run over again. And that’s something that your partner. Joe Fried, mentioned on the website.
Do you subscribe to that as well? 100%. And that’s, I mean, people in catastrophic trucking cases, truck crash cases, or bus crash cases, large commercial motor vehicles,
if they’re in catastrophic or death cases and they’re not hiring board -certified trucking lawyers, they’re probably being sold short. And creating more. for another type of lawyer,
and that would be the malpractice lawyer, for the second iteration of many of these cases, sadly. Yeah. I mean, Russ, if I wanted to make a lot of money,
I would just turn to do malpractice against all these lawyers advertising for trucking and they don’t know what the heck they’re doing. And again, I’m not talking about they can’t handle like a soft tissue case,
but in a catastrophic case, they don’t know how to handle it. to go above the million. They’re settling for the million, and they’re never even thinking about the coverage above that. They’re just taking the easy money and running instead of going for the long fight and getting the family millions and millions of dollars.
A lot of those cases, their referral fee, if they just sent it to a lawyer like me, their little referral fee would be bigger than the entire settlement they’re contemplating.
Millions of dollars. we pay out in referral fees every year. Okay. Sometimes tens of millions. Yeah, so Joe, for the listeners who don’t know you as well as I do,
can you please answer this? What makes you who you are? Why are you so passionate about what you do taking on these multifaceted, multi headache situations,
these complex litigation cases? that clearly aren’t just for any lawyer. Well, I mean, I can give you two things, Russ. One is it’s an absolute privilege to come to work every day to represent these families and to know,
to try, with each one of these cases, to answer those three questions and to get a safety initiative that will prevent this crash from happening again from another family being impacted.
like this. Like the greatest thing that we have here is never meeting the clients whose lives we save that will never be a client of our law firm, right?
So we’re very passionate about this. One time I had this case for this wonderful family of four that was killed head on and the husband was my age. The wife was my wife’s age.
The kids were my exact kids age. I was having a very hard time. being emotional about the Christ. Like literally crying at home, crying after depositions. I called my partner, Joe Fried, and said, “Joe,
how do we learn to do this “where we can’t be passionate about it, “where we can’t get involved, “where we can turn our emotions off?” And he literally said, “When you figure that out, Camerlingo, “I don’t want to be your partner anymore.” That passionate Italian that cares for your clients,
that wants to kill for your clients, that get killed and injured, that’s who you are, that’s who you need to be. and so you know I tell my lawyers at work here if you’re doing these cases right every one of these cases takes a little piece of your soul with them and so that’s why we’re good at what we do Russ because we love our clients we feel their pain we spend the time to meet them to prepare them and at
the end of the case they know they can rest at night knowing they looked everywhere we overturbed every rock pebble stone Anything to find more coverage for them in the settlement or the trial the verdict whatever was all that could be done in that case Well,
then that’s a wrap. So Joe Camerlingo from the truck accident law firm The truck accident dream team is what you call yourselves and it sounds like that’s very well deserved.
Thank you for joining us today Thank you you for your time. Tell us your website address, please, is what, if people want to read you. – It’s www .truckcrashlaw .com, and another great lawyer in the FJA named us that.
We did not call ourselves that. We did put it on the website after she said that, but we were very honored that she called us the Trucking Dream Team. – Well, it’s a great name, and it sounds like it was hard -earned and well -deserved.
And I will put additional contact information for you and your firm. in the show notes. So that’s a wrap of the Lawyer Better podcast. Joe Camerlingo, thanks again for your time and We will see you next episode.
Thank you Russ. God bless.
