How We Help
Trucking companies and their insurers start building their defense right away. So do we. From the first call, we:
- Act fast to preserve evidence: we demand driver logs, truck data and dashcam video before they’re lost
- Investigate the trucking company: driver qualifications, hours of service, testing and maintenance records
- Identify every responsible party: the driver, the trucking company, cargo loaders, maintenance shops and manufacturers
- Get you medical care: we can refer you to a doctor, even before the trucking company’s insurer accepts responsibility
- Find every insurance policy: commercial trucks often carry far more coverage than cars
- Negotiate, or go to court: trucking insurers defend claims hard, and we’re ready to take your case to trial
Common Causes of Truck Accidents
Because of a truck’s size and weight, these crashes often cause serious injuries. They often come down to:
-
Driver fatigue
Driving past federal hours-of-service limits or without enough rest
-
Speeding and unsafe driving
Following too closely, unsafe lane changes and driving too fast for conditions
-
Distracted driving
Phones, dispatch devices and other distractions behind the wheel
-
Poor maintenance
Worn brakes, bad tires and broken lights that weren’t fixed
-
Cargo problems
Overloaded, unbalanced or unsecured loads that shift or spill
-
Blind spots and wide turns
Large blind spots and wide right turns that catch other drivers
What You Can Recover
Every case is different. Depending on the facts, a truck accident claim can include:
-
Medical bills
Treatment PIP doesn’t cover, including future care
-
Lost wages
Time missed from work and lost earning ability
-
Pain and suffering
The physical and emotional impact of your injury
-
Out-of-pocket costs
Prescriptions, travel to appointments and help at home

Truck Accident FAQ
Who is responsible for a truck accident?
Often more than one party. Depending on the facts, the driver, the trucking company, the company that loaded the cargo, a maintenance shop or a parts manufacturer may share responsibility. We look at all of them.
The trucking company’s insurer called me. What should I do?
You don’t have to give them a recorded statement. Take their name and number, and call us first. We’ll handle communication with the insurer from there.
How much does it cost to hire you?
If we don’t win, you don’t pay a fee.
What if I can’t come to your office?
We’ll come to you. Our attorneys visit clients at home or in the hospital, and you can call us any time, day or night.
