Why Truck Accident Cases Are Different

A wreck with a semi-truck is more complicated than a normal car crash. Here’s why:

  • Very Serious Injuries: The huge size and weight of big rigs often cause life-changing injuries, like brain and spine damage.
  • More People Can Be at Fault: It might not just be the driver’s fault. The trucking company, the team that loaded the truck, or a parts maker could also be responsible.
  • Special Federal Trucking Rules: Trucking is a national industry with strict federal safety rules. If the company broke these rules, it is strong proof for your case.
  • Trucking Companies Fight Hard: They often send their own investigators to the scene right away to protect their money, not to help you.

In the most tragic cases, a truck wreck can be fatal. We provide compassionate guidance for families.

Common Causes of Commercial Truck Wrecks

Most truck wrecks are not accidents; they are caused by someone being careless. We investigate all possible causes, including:

  • Tired Drivers: Many drivers are pushed to stay on the road longer than is safe.
  • Poor Truck Upkeep: The trucking company may not have done the needed safety checks or repairs on the truck’s brakes or tires.
  • Unsafe Loads: Cargo that is too heavy or not tied down correctly can cause a driver to lose control.
  • Poorly Trained Drivers: The company may have hired a driver without the right experience.

Why Acting Fast to Save Evidence is So Important

In a trucking case, key evidence can be lost or destroyed very quickly. As soon as you hire us, we act fast to protect this evidence. We send a legal notice to the trucking company telling them they must save important items like:

  • The Truck’s “Black Box”: This records key data like speed and braking.
  • The Driver’s Logbooks: These show if the driver was on the road too long.
  • Repair and Inspection Records: These can show if the truck was unsafe.

Getting this proof early can make a huge difference in your case. Learn why clients and their families trust us to act quickly on their behalf.

Warning: Should I give a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurance?
