These are complex cases that require experienced legal representation; and, if you have a claim, it will be critical to ensure that you are seeking the full compensation you deserve.
Oberheiden Law Group is a truck accident law firm that handles delivery truck accident claims across the United States.

We Represent Victims of Delivery Truck Accidents Who Have Suffered Catastrophic Injuries
Our lawyers represent victims of delivery truck accidents who have suffered all types of catastrophic injuries. In most cases, these accidents result from the delivery truck driver’s negligence, and this means that seeking compensation usually involves filing a claim with the trucking company’s insurance company.
We handle insurance claims and delivery truck accident lawsuits involving catastrophic injuries including (but not limited to):
Broken Bones
Broken bones are common injuries in all types of commercial trucking accidents. If you suffered a bone fracture (or multiple bone fractures) in a delivery truck crash, our lawyers can determine if you have grounds to seek compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, emotional distress, and other accident-related losses.
Permanent Nerve Damage
Accidents involving delivery trucks will often leave victims with permanent nerve damage. If you suffered permanent nerve damage in a delivery truck crash, our personal injury lawyers can use their experience to seek just compensation on your behalf. We can provide a preliminary assessment of your legal rights during your free initial consultation, and then we can work to gather the evidence we need to recover the compensation you deserve.
Significant Soft Tissue Damage
Soft tissue injuries sustained in delivery truck accidents can leave victims facing substantial losses. If you suffered soft tissue damage that is likely to have long-term (or permanent) consequences, a delivery truck accident attorney at our firm can do everything possible to help you recover just compensation through the legal process.
Spinal Cord Injuries
Spinal cord injuries sustained in delivery truck accidents can leave victims facing substantial losses as well. If you sustained any type of spinal cord injury in a collision involving a delivery truck, we strongly recommend that you speak with a delivery truck accident lawyer as soon as possible. From your medical bills and lost income to your physical pain and emotional trauma, we can fight to recover fair compensation from the delivery company, truck manufacturer, or any other company that is responsible.
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) can have a lifetime of consequences for delivery truck accident victims and their families. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with any form of TBI after a collision involving a delivery truck, we strongly encourage you to schedule a free consultation with an experienced delivery truck accident lawyer at Oberheiden Law Group.
We Represent Families that Have Lost Loved Ones in Delivery Truck Accidents
Along with representing accident victims who have suffered severe injuries, we also represent families that have lost loved ones in fatal delivery truck accidents. Similar to other types of fatal commercial vehicle accidents, fatal accidents involving delivery trucks can have a wide range of causes, and determining the cause (or causes) of your loved one’s accident will be a key first step toward holding the appropriate company (or companies) accountable.
Some examples of potential grounds to file a wrongful death claim after a fatal delivery truck accident include:
- Alcohol and drug-impaired driving
- Distracted driving
- Driver fatigue
- Failure to comply with federal regulations
- Poor maintenance
- Speeding, tailgating, and other forms of delivery driver negligence
- Truck defects and mechanical failures
In many cases, multiple parties involved in the trucking industry will share liability for an auto accident involving a delivery truck. In these cases, fighting to recover compensation may involve filing a claim against each of the at-fault parties involved. No matter what it takes, our delivery truck accident lawyers are prepared to fight for the compensation your family deserves, and we will also pursue a claim for punitive damages if warranted.
