Why Truck Accident Cases Are Not Just Bigger Car Wrecks

​

After a devastating collision with a commercial truck, you may feel overwhelmed.  It’s crucial to understand that these cases are fundamentally different and far more complex than a typical car accident.  Trucking companies and their insurers have rapid-response teams of investigators and lawyers dispatched to the scene immediately—their goal is to minimize their liability and pay you as little as possible.

​

You need a legal team that can level the playing field.  Here's why trucking cases require specialized knowledge:

​

• Federal & State Laws: The trucking industry is heavily regulated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).  We are knowledgeable of these complex regulations covering everything from driver hours-of-service to vehicle maintenance and cargo securement.  A violation can be the key to proving negligence.

• Multiple Liable Parties: It’s rarely just the driver’s fault.  Liability can extend to the trucking company (for negligent hiring or training), the shipping company (for improper loading), the maintenance provider, or even the truck manufacturer.  We investigate every angle to maximize your recovery.

• Unique & Perishable Evidence: The most critical evidence in a truck crash case—like the "black box" (Electronic Data Recorder), driver logbooks, and maintenance records—can be destroyed or "lost" by the trucking company.  We act swiftly by sending a spoliation letter to legally demand the preservation of all evidence.

• Catastrophic Injuries: Due to the sheer size and weight disparity, truck accidents often result in life-altering injuries, including traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), spinal cord damage, amputations, and wrongful death.  Calculating the true, long-term cost of these injuries requires experience and expert resources.

 

We Investigate the Real Causes of Truck Accidents

Trucking companies often blame the victim.  Our job is to uncover the truth.  Our investigation goes far beyond the initial police report.  We frequently uncover evidence of systemic negligence, including:

​

• Driver Fatigue: Pushing drivers to violate hours-of-service limits to meet deadlines.

• Unsafe Driving: Drivers who drive too fast for road conditions or who violate the rules in place to make our roads safe.  

• Distracted Driving: Use of cell phones, dispatching devices, or other in-cab distractions.

• Improper Driver Training & Screening: Hiring drivers with poor safety records or failing to provide adequate training.

• Overloaded or Unsecured Cargo: Creating an unstable vehicle that is difficult to control.

• Poor Maintenance: Bald tires, faulty brakes, and other mechanical failures that should have been caught during inspection.

• Driving Under the Influence (DUI): Use of alcohol, prescription medication, or illegal substances.

 

Compensation We Fight For in Your Trucking Lawsuit

Our goal is to secure a settlement or verdict that covers every aspect of your loss. We work with medical, financial, and vocational experts to build a comprehensive claim for damages, which may include:

• All Past and Future Medical Expenses: Hospital stays, surgeries, rehabilitation, physical therapy, and in-home care.

• Lost Wages & Loss of Earning Capacity: Income you've already lost and the income you will be unable to earn in the future.

• Pain and Suffering: Compensation for the physical pain and emotional trauma you have endured.

• Loss of Consortium: For the negative impact the injuries have had on your spousal relationship.

• Wrongful Death Damages: If you lost a loved one, we can pursue compensation for funeral expenses, lost financial support, and loss of companionship.

• Punitive Damages: In cases of intentional or reckless misconduct, we will ask the court or jury to punish the defendant and deter future misconduct.​​​​​​​​​​​​​
