After a truck accident, the clock starts ticking on preserving crucial evidence. Unlike a simple car crash, these cases hinge on specific information that can disappear within days. The truck’s “black box” data, which records speed and braking, can be erased. The driver’s logbooks, which show if they were driving while fatigued, can be lost. Maintenance records that might reveal a safety violation can be misplaced. Trucking companies know this, and their legal teams move quickly to control the narrative. That’s why it’s so important to have a team on your side that acts just as fast. The truck accident law firm you choose should immediately take legal steps to secure this vital evidence, building a strong, fact-based case from the very beginning while you focus on your recovery.
Key Takeaways
- Recognize that truck accidents are uniquely complex
: Unlike a standard car crash, these cases involve strict federal regulations, multiple potentially liable parties beyond just the driver, and aggressive corporate insurance teams.
- Protect your case from day one with two key actions
: Always seek immediate medical attention to create an official record of your injuries, and if possible, gather evidence at the scene like photos and witness information before it disappears.
- Engage a specialized attorney to manage the entire process
: An experienced firm will handle the complex investigation, calculate the full long-term value of your claim, and deal with insurers on your behalf, typically on a no-win, no-fee basis.
Why Hire a Specialized Truck Accident Law Firm?
After a collision with a large commercial truck, it’s easy to assume it’s just a more severe version of a standard car crash. The reality is that these cases operate under a completely different set of rules and involve much higher stakes. Truck accident claims are far more complicated than typical car accidents due to a web of federal regulations, multiple potentially liable parties, and massive insurance companies with aggressive legal teams ready to protect their bottom line.
Choosing a law firm that specializes in car and truck accidents isn't just a good idea—it's a critical step in protecting your rights. A general practice lawyer may not have the specific knowledge required to handle the unique challenges these cases present. A specialized attorney, on the other hand, understands the industry, knows the tactics insurers use, and has the resources to conduct the deep investigation necessary to build a strong case. They know what evidence to look for, who to hold accountable, and how to calculate the true cost of your injuries to ensure you get the compensation you need to move forward.
Handling Complex Federal Regulations
Commercial trucks are governed by a whole different rulebook than the car you drive every day. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) sets strict standards for everything from how many hours a driver can be on the road to how often a vehicle must be inspected and maintained. Proving negligence often comes down to showing that the driver or trucking company violated one of these specific regulations. A specialized truck accident lawyer knows these rules inside and out and can quickly identify violations in driver logs, maintenance records, and hiring practices that a non-specialist might miss.
Identifying All Responsible Parties
One of the most common misconceptions is that the truck driver is the only one at fault. In reality, liability can extend to many others. The trucking company could be responsible for negligent hiring or poor maintenance. The company that loaded the cargo could have failed to secure it properly. Even the truck’s manufacturer could be liable for a defective part. An experienced attorney will investigate every angle to identify all parties who share responsibility for the accident. This is essential for ensuring you can pursue fair compensation from every available source for your personal injury.
Untangling Complicated Insurance Policies
Commercial trucks carry insurance policies worth millions of dollars, and their insurance companies don't part with that money easily. Their adjusters and lawyers are trained to minimize payouts, often by pressuring victims into accepting a quick, lowball settlement before the full extent of their injuries is known. A specialized truck accident firm knows how to counter these tactics. We handle all communications with the insurers, gather critical evidence like black box data and witness statements, and build a case strong enough to force a fair offer. We are also prepared to handle complex PIP arbitrations to resolve disputes over medical coverage.
What Makes a Truck Accident Firm Different?
A collision with a fully loaded, 80,000-pound commercial truck is worlds apart from a typical car crash. It’s not just about the difference in size and impact; it’s about the complexity of the laws, the severity of the injuries, and the powerful corporate opponents you’ll face. While many lawyers handle personal injury claims, only a firm with specific experience in truck accidents has the focused knowledge and resources to manage these uniquely challenging cases.
Trucking is a heavily regulated industry, and a crash can involve a tangled web of federal rules, multiple responsible parties—from the driver to the cargo loader to the maintenance company—and massive insurance carriers with one goal: to pay as little as possible. A law firm that concentrates on car and truck accidents knows this landscape. They understand how to read driver logs, analyze black box data, and identify safety violations that a general practice firm might miss. Choosing a specialist means you have a team that is already prepared for the specific fight ahead.
Experience with Catastrophic Injuries
The immense force in a truck accident often leads to devastating, life-altering harm. We’re not just talking about broken bones; these crashes frequently cause traumatic brain injuries, amputations, and permanent spinal cord injuries. A specialized firm has deep experience handling cases involving these catastrophic outcomes. They understand that the true cost of such an injury extends far beyond the initial hospital bills. It includes a lifetime of medical care, lost earning potential, necessary home modifications, and the profound emotional toll on you and your family. This experience is vital for calculating the full and fair compensation you need to secure your future.
Access to Industry Experts
Building a strong truck accident case is a team effort, and that team often includes highly specialized experts. A dedicated truck accident firm maintains a network of trusted professionals who can provide critical testimony. This includes accident reconstructionists who can scientifically recreate the crash, medical specialists who can explain the long-term consequences of your injuries, and trucking industry insiders who can pinpoint violations of federal safety regulations. These expert witnesses are essential for translating complex technical information into clear, compelling evidence for a judge and jury, proving exactly how the responsible parties were negligent.
In-Depth Investigation Skills
Investigating a commercial truck crash is a race against time to preserve evidence. A specialized firm knows exactly what to do from day one. They will immediately take legal action to secure the truck’s "black box," or Electronic Control Module (ECM), which records crucial data like speed, braking, and hours of operation. They also dig into the driver’s qualification file, drug and alcohol test results, vehicle inspection reports, and the trucking company’s overall safety history. This thorough investigation is designed to uncover every contributing factor, whether it was a fatigued driver, a poorly maintained truck, or a company culture that cut corners on safety.
Dedicated Client Support
When you’re recovering from a serious injury and facing an uncertain future, the last thing you should feel is alone. Going up against a large trucking company and its aggressive legal team is daunting. A firm that focuses on these cases understands the immense pressure you and your family are under. They provide dedicated, compassionate support throughout the entire process. This means clear, consistent communication, answering your questions in plain language, and managing all the stressful interactions with insurance adjusters. It’s about having a true advocate in your corner, so you can focus all your energy on healing.
The moments after a truck accident are chaotic and overwhelming. It’s hard to think clearly when you’re dealing with shock, injuries, and the stress of the situation. But the actions you take right after the crash can have a huge impact on your health and your ability to get fair compensation. By focusing on a few key steps, you can protect yourself and start building a strong foundation for your case. Think of this as your guide to getting through the immediate aftermath and setting yourself up for a smoother recovery. It’s about taking back a little control in a situation that feels completely out of your hands. These steps are designed to safeguard your well-being first and foremost, while also ensuring that your legal rights are preserved from the very beginning. From seeking medical care to knowing how to handle calls from insurance adjusters, each action plays a critical role. We'll walk through exactly what you need to do to protect yourself physically, financially, and legally.
Get Medical Care and Document Your Injuries
Your first priority is always your health. Even if you think you’re okay, get a medical evaluation as soon as possible. Many serious truck accident injuries have delayed symptoms, and what feels like minor soreness could be a sign of something more severe. Seeking immediate medical attention is not only crucial for your well-being but also for your claim. A doctor’s report creates an official record that connects your injuries directly to the accident. Be sure to follow all medical advice, attend follow-up appointments, and keep every bill, report, and prescription. This documentation is essential evidence that shows the true extent of your injuries and the cost of your care.
Preserve Crucial Evidence
Evidence can disappear quickly after a crash. If you are physically able, try to document the scene. Use your phone to take pictures and videos of everything: the damage to all vehicles, your injuries, skid marks on the road, and any relevant traffic signs or weather conditions. If there are witnesses, get their names and phone numbers. Their accounts can be incredibly valuable. An experienced attorney can step in to preserve the most critical evidence, like the truck’s black box data, the driver’s logs, and maintenance records. This information is vital for proving what really happened and holding the right people accountable for your personal injury.
Protect Your Legal Rights
Trucking companies and their insurance carriers have teams of lawyers who start working on a case immediately after a crash. Their goal is to protect their own interests, not yours. That’s why it’s so important to have someone on your side who understands the system. Legal guidance from an attorney familiar with complex trucking laws is essential to establish liability and pursue the compensation you deserve. A lawyer will handle communications with the other parties, protect you from saying something that could be used against you, and make sure all critical deadlines are met. They become your advocate, ensuring your rights are defended from day one.
Know How to Talk to Insurance Companies
Soon after the accident, you will likely get a call from an insurance adjuster. Be very careful what you say. Adjusters are trained to ask questions designed to get you to downplay your injuries or admit partial fault. You are not required to give them a recorded statement. It’s best to politely decline and direct them to your attorney. You should also be wary of quick settlement offers. Settling a claim too soon, especially without legal advice, often results in getting far less than you need. These initial offers rarely cover the full scope of future medical bills, lost wages, and long-term care, which is why having a lawyer handle these insurance negotiations is so important.
How We Build a Strong Truck Accident Case
Building a strong truck accident case is about more than just filing paperwork. It’s a detailed, strategic process that requires a deep understanding of both state laws and federal trucking regulations. Unlike a typical car crash, a collision with a commercial truck involves layers of complexity, from corporate liability to specific types of evidence that can make or break your claim. Our approach is thorough and proactive from day one. We know that trucking companies and their insurers have teams of lawyers ready to protect their interests, so we move quickly to level the playing field and build a case designed to secure the compensation you need to recover.
The Investigation Process
The first thing we do is launch a comprehensive investigation into the crash. Truck accident cases are far more complicated than typical car and truck accidents because they involve federal regulations, multiple potentially liable parties, and aggressive insurance companies. Our team gets to work immediately, preserving evidence that could otherwise disappear. This includes visiting the accident scene to take photos, measuring skid marks, and looking for physical evidence. We also identify and interview witnesses while their memories are still fresh. This initial groundwork is crucial for establishing exactly what happened and who was at fault, setting a strong foundation for the rest of your case.
Analyzing the Truck's Black Box Data
Commercial trucks are equipped with an Electronic Data Recorder (EDR), often called a "black box." This device is a goldmine of information, recording critical data like the truck's speed, braking patterns, steering inputs, and the driver's hours of service. This data can prove if a driver was speeding, failed to brake in time, or was driving while fatigued in violation of federal rules. We act fast to send a spoliation letter to the trucking company, legally demanding they preserve this data. Analyzing the black box information gives us objective facts to counter the trucking company's version of events and clearly demonstrate negligence.
Working with Expert Witnesses
To build the most compelling case, we often collaborate with a network of trusted expert witnesses. An accident reconstructionist can use physical evidence and data to create a scientific model of how the crash occurred. Medical experts can testify about the severity of your injuries and the long-term care you’ll need, which is especially important in cases involving catastrophic harm like spinal cord injuries. We may also work with economic experts to calculate your lost wages and future earning potential. Their specialized knowledge helps us show the full financial and personal impact of the accident to an insurance company or a jury.
Gathering Essential Documents
A successful truck accident claim is supported by solid documentation. We handle the entire process of collecting and organizing all the necessary paperwork, which can be an overwhelming task when you’re focused on healing. This includes obtaining the official police report, all of your medical records and bills, the truck driver’s employment history and driving logs, and the truck’s maintenance and inspection records. Each document helps us piece together the story of negligence. This detailed evidence gathering is a core part of any personal injury claim and allows us to build a powerful argument on your behalf.
Understanding Your Compensation and Legal Costs
After a serious truck accident, figuring out how to cover your expenses while you recover can feel overwhelming. It’s important to understand what compensation you’re entitled to and how the legal process works financially. A dedicated law firm will guide you through every step, ensuring you know what to expect when it comes to recovering damages and paying for legal help. The goal is to let you focus on healing while your legal team handles the financial fight.
What Damages Can You Recover?
Truck accidents can lead to devastating outcomes, from mounting medical bills to the inability to return to work. The compensation, or "damages," you can pursue is meant to cover these losses. This includes reimbursement for all past and future medical care, lost wages from time off work, and your reduced ability to earn money in the future. It also accounts for non-economic damages like pain and suffering. For catastrophic injuries such as spinal cord injuries or amputations, securing compensation that covers lifelong care is critical. An experienced attorney will help you document every loss to build a case for the full amount you deserve.
How Contingency Fees Work (No Win, No Fee)
One of the biggest worries for accident victims is how they can afford a lawyer. That’s why most personal injury firms, including ours, work on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay absolutely no legal fees unless we win your case. Our payment comes from a percentage of the settlement or verdict we secure for you. This approach removes the financial risk from your shoulders, allowing you to access top-tier legal representation without any upfront costs. It ensures that everyone has a fair chance to seek justice, regardless of their financial situation. Your focus should be on your recovery, not on how to pay for a lawyer.
Calculating the Long-Term Impact
Insurance companies often push for a quick settlement, but accepting an early offer can be a huge mistake. Some injuries don't show their full impact right away, and you may need ongoing medical treatment, physical therapy, or modifications to your home. A thorough lawyer helps calculate the true long-term cost of your accident. We consider future medical needs, potential loss of earning capacity, and the ongoing physical and emotional toll. By taking the time to understand the full scope of your personal injury, we can fight for a settlement that truly covers your needs for years to come, not just your immediate bills.
The Settlement Negotiation Process
Negotiating a settlement in a truck accident case is far more complex than in a standard car crash. These cases often involve multiple liable parties—the driver, the trucking company, the cargo loader, and even the vehicle manufacturer. Each may have its own powerful insurance company and legal team. Our job is to level the playing field. We handle the entire negotiation process, using evidence like the truck’s black box data, driver logs, and expert testimony to build a powerful case. We manage all communication with the insurance adjusters, protecting you from tactics designed to minimize your claim and fighting for the fair compensation you are owed for your truck accident.
Dedicated Support for Working Families
When your family is dealing with the aftermath of a serious truck accident, the last thing you need is a law firm that adds to your stress. The financial pressure from medical bills and lost income can be immense, and the legal process can feel confusing and intimidating. A good attorney understands that you’re not just a case file; you’re a person trying to put your life back together. That’s why finding a firm that prioritizes clear communication, affordability, and personal attention is so important.
Your legal team should be your strongest advocate, committed to guiding you through every step with compassion and respect. They should take the time to listen to your story, understand your family’s needs, and explain your options in a way that makes sense. This kind of dedicated support helps you feel confident and in control, allowing you to focus on what matters most: your recovery. At Haddad Law Firm, we believe that every family deserves a legal partner who will fight for them and treat them with the dignity they deserve. We are here to lift the burden off your shoulders, not add to it.
Clear Communication in Your Language
After an accident, you’ll have a lot of questions. You deserve direct answers without having to sort through complicated legal jargon. A supportive legal team makes sure you are always informed about the status of your case and understand what’s happening next. We pride ourselves on being accessible and responsive, ensuring our team is ready to assist you whenever you need us. Because clear communication is essential, we also have bilingual team members who can discuss your case in the language you’re most comfortable with. You should never feel left in the dark or hesitant to ask a question.
Making Legal Help Affordable
Many families worry that they can’t afford a great lawyer, especially when facing unexpected medical expenses. That’s why we handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay absolutely no upfront costs or attorney’s fees. We only get paid if we successfully recover compensation for you. This approach allows you to access high-quality legal representation without any financial risk. Our fee comes from a percentage of the settlement or verdict we win on your behalf, so our goals are perfectly aligned with yours: to get you the maximum compensation possible for your injuries and losses.
Helping You Understand Your Rights
Trucking companies and their insurers have powerful legal teams working to protect their interests. You need someone just as dedicated on your side. Our job is to level the playing field by making sure you fully understand your rights. We will explain the laws that apply to your truck accident case and outline all of your legal options. With our guidance, you can make informed decisions about how to move forward. We handle the complex legal work, from establishing liability to calculating your damages, so you can feel empowered and confident that your rights are being protected every step of the way.
Personal Attention for Your Case
You are more than just a case number to us. We know that the outcome of your case will have a lasting impact on your family’s future, and we take that responsibility seriously. As a boutique firm, we are able to give each client the focused, personal attention they deserve. Our attorneys are committed to defending hardworking people and providing the dedicated legal support you need during this difficult time. We will get to know you and your family, listen to your concerns, and tailor our legal strategy to fit your specific situation and goals.
What Your Truck Accident Attorney Does for You
After a serious truck accident, you’re likely dealing with injuries, medical bills, and a lot of stress. The last thing you need is the added burden of a complex legal battle. This is where a dedicated truck accident attorney steps in. Their job is to handle every aspect of your case so you can focus on your recovery. From the initial investigation to fighting for the compensation you deserve, your lawyer acts as your advocate, guide, and champion. They manage the deadlines, paperwork, and difficult conversations, ensuring your rights are protected from start to finish. A good attorney doesn't just file a claim; they build a comprehensive strategy to secure your future.
Your Free Case Evaluation
The first step is understanding if you have a case, and you shouldn't have to pay to find out. A free case evaluation is a no-pressure conversation with an experienced legal professional. During this meeting, you can share the details of your accident and ask any questions you have. We’ll listen to your story, review the initial facts, and give you a clear, honest assessment of your legal options. This initial consultation is completely confidential and comes with no obligation. It’s an opportunity for you to get the information you need to make an informed decision about how to move forward.
Managing the Investigation
Building a strong truck accident claim requires a swift and thorough investigation. While you recover, your attorney gets to work immediately. We collect and preserve critical evidence that can disappear quickly, like the truck’s black box data, the driver’s logs, maintenance records, and company hiring practices. We also identify and interview witnesses, obtain police and accident reports, and document the scene with photos and videos. This meticulous process is designed to build a powerful foundation for your case by establishing exactly what happened and who was at fault.
Negotiating with Insurers
Trucking companies are backed by large insurance corporations with aggressive legal teams whose main goal is to pay out as little as possible. Negotiating with them on your own is incredibly challenging. Your attorney handles all communications with these insurers, protecting you from tactics designed to devalue your claim. Because truck accident cases involve complex federal and state regulations, having a lawyer who understands this landscape is crucial. We will calculate the full extent of your damages—including medical bills, lost wages, and future needs—and fight for a settlement that truly reflects what you’ve lost.
Preparing Your Case for Trial
While many personal injury cases are settled out of court, the strongest negotiating position comes from being fully prepared to go to trial. Insurance companies are more likely to offer a fair settlement when they know your attorney has the skill and determination to win in front of a judge and jury. Our team prepares every case as if it’s going to trial. This involves gathering expert testimony, preparing legal arguments, and creating a compelling narrative that clearly shows the impact the accident has had on your life. This readiness demonstrates that we won’t back down from a fight to secure the justice you deserve.
Common Hurdles in Truck Accident Cases
After a truck accident, you’re focused on healing, but the path to getting fair compensation can feel like a maze. These cases are far more complex than a typical car accident claim, and you’ll likely face a few significant challenges along the way. Understanding these hurdles is the first step toward overcoming them with the right legal support on your side.
Fighting Insurance Company Tactics
Trucking companies are backed by large insurance corporations with aggressive legal teams. Their primary goal is to protect their bottom line by paying out as little as possible. They might contact you right away with a low settlement offer, hoping you’ll accept it before you know the full extent of your injuries and expenses. They may also try to twist your words to suggest you were at fault. An experienced attorney understands these tactics and can handle all communications, protecting you from pressure and ensuring you don’t settle for less than you deserve for your truck accident injuries.
How Long Your Case Might Take
It’s natural to want a quick resolution, but truck accident cases often take time. The injuries are frequently severe, requiring extensive medical treatment and a long recovery. We need to wait until you’ve reached maximum medical improvement to fully understand the long-term costs of your care. The investigation itself is also more detailed, involving federal regulations and multiple parties. While it requires patience, a thorough approach ensures we build the strongest possible case to cover your future needs, especially in cases involving life-altering spinal cord injuries that require lifelong support.
The Evidence You Need to Win
To build a strong claim, you need more than just a police report. Crucial evidence in a truck accident case includes the truck’s “black box” data, the driver’s hours-of-service logs, vehicle maintenance records, and cargo loading information. This evidence can be lost or destroyed if not requested quickly and correctly. A skilled personal injury lawyer knows exactly what to look for and how to preserve it. We work to gather witness statements, consult with accident reconstruction experts, and collect all the documentation needed to prove what happened and who is responsible.
Dealing with Multiple Defendants
In a truck accident, the driver isn’t always the only one at fault. Liability can be spread across several parties, and it’s a common mistake to think only the driver or their employer can be held responsible. The trucking company, the vehicle manufacturer, the company that loaded the cargo, or even a third-party maintenance provider could share the blame. Identifying every responsible party is critical for securing the full compensation you need. This is especially important in complex cases, such as those involving a wrongful death, where a family deserves justice from everyone who contributed to their loss.
How to Protect Your Rights and Future
After a truck accident, you’re dealing with a lot—physical pain, emotional stress, and mounting bills. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed and unsure of what to do next. The actions you take in the days and weeks following the crash are critical, not just for your physical recovery but for your financial future as well. Insurance companies for trucking corporations have teams of lawyers ready to protect their interests, which often means minimizing what they have to pay you.
Protecting your rights means being proactive. It involves understanding that the clock is ticking, that your health is your most important asset, and that the first offer you receive is rarely the best one. You don't have to face this alone. Taking a few key steps can put you back in control and ensure you have the resources you need to heal and move forward. Think of the following points as your guide to securing your well-being and holding the right people accountable.
Every state has a strict time limit, known as the statute of limitations, for filing a personal injury lawsuit. If you miss this deadline, you lose your right to seek compensation forever. Truck accident cases are far more complex than typical car accidents due to federal trucking regulations, aggressive insurance companies, and the fact that there are often multiple parties that can be liable—from the driver to the trucking company to the vehicle manufacturer. Because of this complexity, it’s essential to act quickly to preserve evidence and begin building your case. An experienced attorney can make sure all deadlines are met while you focus on your recovery.
Why Consistent Medical Care Matters
Your health should always be your top priority. See a doctor immediately after an accident, even if you feel fine. Many serious injuries, like internal bleeding or traumatic brain injuries, have delayed symptoms. Seeking prompt medical attention is critical for your well-being and your claim. Consistent medical care creates an official record that documents your injuries and connects them directly to the accident. This paper trail is powerful evidence that shows the extent of your suffering and the cost of your recovery, making it much harder for insurance companies to argue that your injuries aren't severe or related to the crash.
How to Evaluate a Settlement Offer
Insurance adjusters may contact you quickly with a settlement offer. While it might be tempting to accept fast cash, these initial offers are almost always too low. They rarely account for the full scope of your damages, including future medical treatments, lost earning capacity, and long-term pain and suffering. Settling a claim too soon and without the guidance of a lawyer can result in you receiving significantly less than you deserve. Never sign any documents or agree to a settlement without having an attorney review the offer first. An experienced lawyer can calculate the true value of your claim to ensure you don’t settle for less.
Getting the Legal Support You Deserve
Navigating the aftermath of a crash is challenging, but you don’t have to do it by yourself. Getting legal guidance from an attorney who understands the specifics of truck accident cases is essential for establishing liability and securing fair compensation. A dedicated lawyer will handle the investigation, manage all communication with the insurance companies, and ensure every deadline is met. They become your advocate, fighting to protect your rights and interests so you can focus on what matters most: healing. Having the right legal team in your corner makes all the difference in getting the justice and support you need to rebuild your life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to pay anything upfront for you to take my case? Absolutely not. We handle truck accident cases on a contingency fee basis, which is a straightforward way of saying you don’t pay us a dime unless we win your case. There are no upfront costs or hidden fees. Our payment comes from a percentage of the final settlement or verdict we secure for you, which means our goal is the same as yours: to get you the best possible outcome.
The trucking company's insurance adjuster already offered me a settlement. Should I take it? It’s best to be very cautious with early settlement offers. Insurance companies often try to resolve claims quickly and for the lowest amount possible, hoping you’ll accept before you understand the full extent of your injuries and future medical needs. These initial offers rarely account for long-term care, lost earning potential, or the full measure of your pain and suffering. It’s always wise to have an attorney review any offer before you sign anything.
My regular lawyer is great. Why do I specifically need a truck accident specialist? While a general practice lawyer can be a great resource for many things, truck accident cases are a different league. They are governed by a complex set of federal regulations that don't apply to standard car crashes. A specialist knows how to investigate trucking companies, analyze evidence like black box data and driver logs, and identify all potentially responsible parties, from the cargo loader to the maintenance shop. This focused experience is critical for building the strongest case.
How long will it take to resolve my truck accident case? It’s difficult to give an exact timeline, as every case is unique. These cases often take longer than a typical car accident claim because the injuries are more severe and the investigations are more complex. It’s important to wait until you have a clear understanding of your long-term medical prognosis before resolving your claim. While it requires patience, taking the necessary time allows us to build a thorough case that accounts for all of your future needs, ensuring you get the full compensation you deserve.
Who can be held responsible for a truck accident besides the driver? This is one of the most complex parts of a truck accident claim. While the driver may be at fault, liability often extends to others. The trucking company could be responsible for negligent hiring or poor vehicle maintenance. The company that loaded the cargo could be liable if it was improperly secured. In some cases, even the truck’s manufacturer could be at fault for a defective part. A key part of our job is to investigate every angle to identify all parties who share responsibility.
