Truck Accidents

Taking on commercial carriers and their insurers after a devastating crash.

§ 01Overview

Collisions involving commercial trucks are far more destructive than typical car crashes, and they are also far more complex. Multiple parties may share liability — the driver, the trucking company, the maintenance provider, and the cargo loader — and federal regulations govern nearly every aspect of the industry.

Trucking companies dispatch investigators to the scene within hours to protect themselves. We move just as fast to preserve critical evidence like the truck’s electronic logs and maintenance records before it can disappear, and we hold every responsible party accountable.

§ 02What We Handle
  • Semi-truck and 18-wheeler collisions
  • Fatigued and hours-of-service violations
  • Improperly loaded or overweight cargo
  • Trucking company negligence
  • Catastrophic and wrongful death claims
  • Federal (FMCSA) regulation violations
§ 03What's at Stake

Severe injuries

Truck crashes frequently cause catastrophic, life-changing injuries.

Multiple defendants

Recovery may involve several companies and insurance policies.

Higher coverage

Commercial policies are large — and defended aggressively.

Complex evidence

Logs, telematics, and regulations require rapid, expert handling.

§ 04Our Defense

We send preservation demands immediately to secure the electronic control module data, driver logs, and maintenance records, and we retain accident reconstruction and industry experts to establish liability.

We identify every responsible party and insurance policy, then build a case powerful enough to overcome the trucking industry’s well-funded defense.

§ 05Questions

They involve federal regulations, multiple potentially liable parties, and much larger insurance policies — along with defense teams that mobilize immediately.

Beyond the driver, the trucking company, maintenance contractors, and cargo loaders may all share liability depending on the cause of the crash.

As soon as possible. Crucial evidence like electronic logs can be overwritten or lost, so early preservation is critical.
