Truck Accident Attorneys
“Big trucks leave big damage — and a paper trail their insurers will try to erase.”
Commercial trucks weigh 20 to 30 times more than passenger vehicles. A moment of inattention — a drowsy driver, a missed brake inspection, an overloaded trailer — produces catastrophic injuries. The regulations governing trucking are federal (FMCSA), strict, and widely violated. When we investigate a truck case, the question is not whether rules were broken; it is which ones, and who is on the hook.
Within days of a serious commercial truck crash, an investigator is typically on the scene for the trucking company. We move faster. We issue spoliation letters to preserve the onboard event-data recorder, the driver's electronic logging device, cargo manifests, maintenance records, drug-screen results, and dispatch communications. We retain accident-reconstruction experts and trucking-industry standard-of-care experts from day one.
Recovery in these cases routinely exceeds the driver's individual policy. We pursue the trucking company, the broker, the shipper, the maintenance provider, and — where applicable — the manufacturer of the equipment that failed.
