Erie County 18-Wheeler Accident Attorneys When 80,000 Pounds Changes Everything on Buffalo's Highways The impact was catastrophic. One moment you're navigating the Kensington Expressway during Buffalo rush hour.

Maybe he's hauling timber out of the Catskills, dairy feed to a farm in Andes, or construction materials over Panther Mountain. Maybe his brakes haven't been inspected in months, or his cargo wasn't properly secured for the winding mountain roads that define our region. If that truck has changed your life, you need an attorney who moves fast. For more than 25 years, Attorney911 has fought for accident victims across New York State. Ralph Manginello, our managing partner, has been holding trucking companies accountable since 1998.
