Arizona Truck Accident Attorney Ron Mercaldo of The Mercaldo Law Firm
In 1981, Ron Mercaldo made Arizona history when he obtained the first $10 Million dollar-plus verdict in a wrongful death case caused by a negligent truck driver. Together with the attorney who referred the case to him, and through careful analysis of the Federal Regulations contained in the Federal Department of Transportation and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, Mr. Mercaldo was able to demonstrate to the jury that the trucking company and its driver were operating in violation of rules that were specifically enacted to provide for the safe operation of trucks on the Nation's highways. The jury returned a verdict of $10.6M for the surviving widow and two children of a 32-year old man who was killed as a result of the truck driver and his company's negligence. That negligence included driving more hours than allowed under the federal regulations, altering log books and other documents that enabled the driver and the company to drive more miles over longer periods of time than are allowed, in an effort to increase profits.
The success of the Mercaldo Law Firm in trucking accident cases is based on extensive preparation, thorough knowledge of the safety regulations and competent advocacy on behalf of our clients.
Since that landmark 1981 case, attorneys for the Mercaldo Law Firm have successfully handled 74 commercial vehicle accident cases including those involving commercial trucks, tour buses, "18-wheelers", "big rigs," and tow trucks. The majority of these cases involved wrongful-death and catastrophic injuries. Mr. Mercaldo has earned a reputation amongst insurance carriers as an attorney who knows how to handle these cases.
