Truck accidents often cause severe injuries, long recovery times, and major financial losses. Our firm provides focused representation for victims of collisions involving semi trucks, box trucks, delivery vehicles, dump trucks, and other large commercial vehicles.
Why Truck Accident Cases Are More Complex
Truck accident claims are not handled the same way as regular car accidents. Multiple parties may be responsible, federal regulations apply, and trucking companies often move quickly to limit their liability. You need an attorney who can take control of the process and protect your rights from the beginning.
Truck cases often involve:
- Commercial trucking companies
- Truck drivers and independent operators
- Maintenance contractors
- Freight loaders
- Insurance companies with aggressive defense teams
- Vehicle manufacturers
- Data from black boxes and digital logs
A detailed investigation is critical because each party may share responsibility for the crash.

Our firm investigates every detail to determine the true cause and identify all responsible parties.
Injuries Often Seen in Truck Accidents
Because of their size and weight, trucks can cause life-changing injuries. Victims often suffer:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Back and spine injuries
- Broken bones
- Internal injuries
- Severe lacerations

- Long-term pain
We work closely with medical providers to document your injuries and build a strong case for compensation.
Compensation You May Be Eligible For
A truck accident can affect every part of your life. Our goal is to recover the full value of your losses, including:
- Medical treatment and future care

- Pain and suffering
- Permanent injury or disability
- Rehabilitation and therapy
- Property damage

Never accept a settlement until an attorney reviews your case.
What To Do After a Truck Accident
Taking the right steps can protect your health and your claim. If possible:
- Call law enforcement and seek medical attention.
- Take photos of the scene, injuries, and vehicle damage.
- Get contact information from witnesses.
- Avoid admitting fault or discussing details at the scene.
- Do not speak to the trucking company’s insurance provider.
- Contact an attorney before signing any paperwork.
Truck companies often deploy response teams immediately, which is why having your own legal team matters.
