Truck accident cases are far more complex than standard car crashes due to the following factors:
- Severe Injuries & Higher Fatality Rates – The sheer impact of a truck crash often leads to traumatic injuries.
- Multiple Liable Parties – The truck driver, trucking company, vehicle manufacturer, cargo loaders, and even maintenance teams may share responsibility.
- Federal & State Regulations – Trucking companies must follow strict laws regarding hours of service, maintenance, and driver training.
- Aggressive Insurance Companies – Commercial insurers will fight hard to minimize payouts, making experienced legal representation essential.
- Black Box & Evidence Collection – Trucks contain data recorders that must be preserved and analyzed quickly after an accident.
These cases require experienced attorneys who know how to navigate trucking laws and corporate defense tactics—and that’s exactly what we bring to the table.
Truck accidents often result from recklessness, negligence, or failure to follow safety regulations. Some of the most common causes include:
- Driver Fatigue – Truckers often push beyond legal driving limits, leading to drowsy driving.
- Distracted Driving – Phone use, eating, or other distractions behind the wheel. Speeding & Reckless Driving – Large trucks take longer to stop, making high speeds especially dangerous.
- Overloaded or Improperly Loaded Cargo – Shifting loads can cause rollovers or loss of vehicle control.
- Poor Truck Maintenance – Faulty brakes, worn tires, and mechanical failures can lead to deadly crashes.
- Driving Under the Influence – Alcohol, prescription drugs, and stimulants are common in trucking accidents.
- Blind Spot Negligence – Truckers failing to check large blind spots before changing lanes or merging.
- Defective Truck Parts – Tire blowouts, steering failures, and brake malfunctions can lead to devastating crashes.
If you or a loved one has been injured due to a trucker’s negligence, unsafe company policies, or a defective vehicle, we will work to uncover who is responsible and hold them legally and financially accountable.
One of the biggest challenges in truck accident cases is determining who is responsible. Unlike regular car accidents, liability can extend to multiple parties, including:
- The Truck Driver – If they were distracted, fatigued, speeding, or otherwise negligent.
- The Trucking Company – If they failed to enforce safety regulations, hired unqualified drivers, or encouraged dangerous driving practices.
- The Vehicle Manufacturer – If a mechanical defect, faulty brakes, or tire failure contributed to the crash.
- Cargo Loaders – If improper loading caused a rollover or loss of control.
- Maintenance & Repair Crews – If negligence in inspecting and maintaining the truck led to an accident.
