Truck Accident Lawyer

If you have been injured in a truck accident, you may be facing serious injuries, expensive medical treatment, lost income, and significant property damage. Our personal injury team helps people injured in commercial truck crashes understand their legal options and pursue the compensation they may be entitled to.

Truck Accidents Can Have Serious Consequences

Commercial trucks are significantly larger and heavier than passenger vehicles. A collision involving a tractor-trailer, delivery truck, or other commercial vehicle can result in severe or catastrophic injuries.

Truck accident victims may require emergency treatment, surgery, hospitalization, rehabilitation, and long-term medical care. Serious injuries can also affect a person’s ability to work and provide for their family.

Truck accident cases can involve multiple potentially responsible parties, including drivers, trucking companies, vehicle owners, maintenance providers, and manufacturers. Our role is to investigate what happened, identify potentially responsible parties, document your losses, and pursue the compensation available under applicable law.

Truck Accident Injuries We Handle

Truck collisions can cause serious and life-changing injuries, including:

Traumatic brain injuries

Spinal cord injuries

Broken bones and fractures

Neck and back injuries

Permanent disabilities

Nerve damage and Fatal injuries

Internal injuries and Crush injuries

The long-term impact of an injury should be considered when evaluating a claim, not only the immediate medical expenses.

  • Improperly loaded cargo
  • Inadequate vehicle maintenance

Frequently Asked Questions

Truck accidents can involve commercial vehicles, trucking companies, multiple insurance policies, and extensive records concerning drivers, maintenance, cargo, and operations. These factors can make determining liability more complicated than in some standard vehicle accidents.
Depending on the circumstances, potentially responsible parties may include the truck driver, trucking company, vehicle owner, maintenance provider, cargo-loading company, manufacturer, or another party whose conduct contributed to the crash.
Evidence may include police reports, photographs, witness statements, vehicle damage, surveillance footage, driver records, maintenance records, inspection documents, cargo information, electronic vehicle data, and medical records.
Depending on the circumstances, compensation may include medical expenses, future medical care, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, rehabilitation costs, property damage, pain and suffering, physical impairment, emotional distress, and other losses permitted by applicable law.
The applicable deadline depends on the circumstances of the case and governing law. Different rules may apply depending on the parties involved and the type of claim. Prompt legal advice can help you understand potentially applicable deadlines.
You may benefit from legal representation when you suffered serious injuries, multiple parties may be responsible, liability is disputed, a trucking company or insurer is involved, or your injuries could result in significant future losses. An attorney can review your circumstances and explain your legal options.
