Unique Challenges in Truck Accident Cases
Truck accident claims are different from standard car accidents. They often involve multiple liable parties, commercial insurance policies, and state and federal safety regulations. In many cases, the trucking company will begin investigating the crash immediately—often before the injured party has even left the hospital.
We act quickly to:
- Secure black box data (electronic logging devices)
- Obtain driver logs and maintenance records
- Identify violations of safety regulations
- Investigate the trucking company’s hiring and training practices
- Preserve physical evidence before it’s lost or altered
By thoroughly investigating every aspect of the crash, we build a strong case aimed at holding all responsible parties accountable.
Common Causes of Truck Crashes
Many truck accidents occur because of preventable errors or negligence, including:
- Driver fatigue and Hours-of-Service violations
- Distracted or impaired driving
- Speeding or following too closely
- Improperly secured cargo or overweight loads
- Faulty brakes or equipment failure
- Inadequate training or supervision
- Pressure from employers to meet unrealistic delivery deadlines
- Whether the fault lies with the driver, the trucking company, a parts manufacturer, or a maintenance provider, we pursue every angle to determine who’s liable.
Types of Injuries We Handle
Because of the force involved in truck crashes, victims often suffer severe and lasting injuries, such as:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord damage and paralysis
- Internal bleeding or organ damage
- Complex fractures and orthopedic injuries
- Burn injuries from post-collision fires
- Amputations
- Wrongful death
These are not cases that should be rushed or undervalued. We take the time to assess the full impact of your injuries—medically, emotionally, and financially—before ever discussing settlement.
Compensation You May Be Entitled To
Victims of trucking accidents may be eligible to recover compensation for:
- Emergency medical treatment and ongoing care
- Surgeries, therapy, and rehabilitation
- Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
- Loss of companionship in wrongful death cases
- Punitive damages in cases of gross negligence
We work with medical professionals, vocational experts, and accident reconstruction specialists to determine the true value of your case.
