Truck Accidents

More than 500,000 trucking accidents occur on our roadways each year. Semi-tractors and trailers can weigh in excess of 80,000 pounds and be more than 75 feet long. The brake time for an 18 wheeler is much longer than that of a passenger car. It is not surprising that many accidents involving trucks are fatal.

Trucking companies and their drivers have a duty to operate their trucks in a safe and responsible manner. We have extensive experience representing drivers injured by trucks. We will help you put your life back together and recover the compensation you deserve.

Proving liability in trucking accident lawsuits is more complex than with car crashes because responsibility may lie with the trucker, the company, the truck manufacturer, and/or others. An experienced and knowledgeable accident lawyer will look for evidence of fault in trucking logs, witness reports, phone records of the driver and the trucking company, and safety and training records of the truck driver and the trucking company.
