Garbage and sanitation trucks are a constant presence throughout the five boroughs of New York City, and they are involved in many accidents. Victims include other drivers, pedestrians, bicyclists and even sanitation workers themselves, and injuries are all-too-often catastrophic or fatal due to the sheer size and weight of these vehicles.
If you or a family member has been hit by a garbage truck — or any other service or industrial vehicle — your case for financial compensation may call for a law firm experienced in battling city hall or taking on corporations. At Smiley & Smiley, our efforts for accident victims since 1968 include many case successes in both areas.
In just one of numerous seven-figure injury and wrongful death recoveries, our attorneys obtained a $1.6 million structured settlement for three children left without parental guidance after a Chinatown garbage truck ran over and killed their 39-year-old mother.
