Founding Attorney
If you are dealing with medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering after a truck accident, it is important that you speak with an experienced injury attorney about your legal rights. The same is true if you have lost a loved one in a commercial truck accident and need to think about filing a claim for wrongful death. In both scenarios, your financial and non-financial losses can add up quickly, so it is critical that you hire an experienced truck accident attorney who can help you fight to hold the trucking company or other at-fault party fully accountable.
Our truck accident attorneys are passionate about fighting for victims and their families. If you have a truck accident claim, we can help you seek just compensation for your (or your loved one’s) lost wages, medical expenses, and other financial and non-financial losses. We provide free initial consultations and handle all cases on a contingency-fee basis, which means our clients pay nothing unless we win.
Types of Truck Accident Cases We Handle
We handle truck accident claims involving collisions between large commercial trucks and all types of passenger vehicles. In all cases, we work quickly to prove our clients’ rights, gathering evidence of liability and thoroughly documenting our clients’ losses so that we can seek maximum compensation on their behalf. Examples of the types of cases our truck accident lawyers handle include:
Truck Accidents Caused By Drunk Drivers
If you need to file a claim for a truck crash caused by a drunk driver, we want to help you. We are prepared to do everything necessary to promptly file a truck accident lawsuit on your behalf. Whether you are dealing with catastrophic injuries or the tragic loss of a loved one, you deserve to recover the maximum compensation available.
Truck Accidents Caused By Distracted Drivers
Distracted driving is a leading cause of commercial truck crashes. Here too, whether you are dealing with severe injuries or coping with a loved one’s untimely death, our commercial truck accident attorneys are ready and able to fight for a fair settlement on your behalf.
Truck Accidents Caused By Truck Driver Negligence
The vast majority of large truck crashes involve truck driver negligence. Truck driver negligence can take numerous forms, including reckless driving and logging long hours despite driver fatigue, among many others. We handle semi truck accident cases involving all forms of driver negligence.
Truck Accidents Caused By Truck Maintenance Issues and Defects
Poor maintenance and defects that existed when a commercial vehicle left the truck manufacturer’s facility can both lead to serious and fatal collisions with passenger vehicles. Whether you have a claim against a truck maintenance company, a truck manufacturer, or any other corporation in the trucking industry, we have the legal team and resources needed to fight for accountability.
Improperly secured cargo is another common factor in serious and fatal commercial truck accidents. Generally, vehicle inspections should identify cargo-related issues before trucks hit the road. But, failure to conduct vehicle inspections is a common and well-known issue in the trucking industry. Our law firm handles cargo-related truck accident claims as well.
Highway Pileups Involving Multiple Parties
Pileups involving multiple parties present unique issues when it comes to dealing with the insurance companies. Our truck accident lawyers are familiar with these issues, and we are prepared to do what it takes to hold the insurance companies accountable.
Cases Against Trucking Companies
Trucking companies can be held liable for commercial truck wrecks in a wide range of circumstances. Along with truck drivers’ negligence, trucking companies can also be held liable for their own negligence—such as failing to comply with federal regulations and ignoring accident reports during driver background checks. Whether you have a claim against a large trucking company or a local or regional carrier, we are prepared to fight for just compensation for your severe injuries or your loved one’s untimely passing.
Cases Against Other Liable Parties
Along with cases against trucking companies, we handle cases against other liable parties as well. These include truck maintenance companies and truck manufacturers, among many others. Contact us for a free consultation today.

Spinal Cord Injuries

FAQs: Filing a Claim After a Serious or Fatal Truck Accident
How Are Car Accident Cases and Commercial Truck Accident Cases Different?
There are several critical differences between car accident cases and truck accident cases involving semi trucks and other large commercial vehicles. Truck accident cases are significantly more complicated, and this makes it critical to have a team of highly experienced truck accident lawyers on your side. This is true in cases involving severe injuries and in cases involving wrongful death.
What is the Legal Process for Seeking Just Compensation After a Commercial Truck Accident?
In most cases, seeking just compensation after a commercial truck accident involves dealing with the insurance companies. It will be important to engage a law firm to deal with the insurance companies on your behalf, as you will need to be prepared to take them to court if they aren’t willing to settle your truck accident lawsuit for just compensation. Going to court is a complex legal process of its own that demands highly experienced legal representation, and it will be important to have a team of attorneys who are familiar with the facts of your case.
What Losses Can Victims Recover in Truck Accident Cases?
Victims who have suffered catastrophic injuries in truck accidents can seek just compensation for their financial and non-financial losses. This includes the costs of their medical treatment, their lost wages, their pain and suffering, and their other financial and non-financial losses—both present and future.
With that said, recovering these losses requires extensive evidence, including medical records and employment records, among many others. Once you hire a truck accident lawyer to represent you, your lawyer will be able to collect the evidence you need on your behalf.
How Can Your Legal Team Help Me After a Truck Wreck?
There are many important ways our legal team can help you—whether you suffered injuries requiring multiple surgeries or you lost a loved one who suffered fatal injuries in a catastrophic accident. Once you get in touch, our first priority will be to investigate the accident and collect the evidence we need to prove liability. Depending on the circumstances, this may involve proving truck driver negligence, a violation of the federal regulations that apply to commercial vehicles, or any of a variety of other issues.
After gathering the evidence we need to prove liability, then we will focus on calculating the damages you deserve to recover. With this information in hand, we will then begin the process of fighting for justice on your behalf.
