Common Truck Accident Injuries

Due to the mass and force of large trucks, collisions can lead to life-altering injuries, including:

• Catastrophic brain injuries

• Spinal cord injuries and paralysis

• Multiple fractures and crush injuries

• Internal organ damage

• Severe burns and lacerations

• Amputation injuries

• Fatal injuries resulting in wrongful death

These injuries can necessitate lengthy medical treatments, extensive rehabilitation, and long-term lifestyle changes. We thoroughly document the extent of your injuries so you can pursue the compensation needed for your ongoing care.

The Legal Process

Truck accident cases typically require more complex steps than standard car accident claims, including:

1. Immediate Investigation and Evidence Preservation: Time-sensitive data (e.g., electronic logging devices, maintenance records) must be secured promptly.

2. Identification of All Liable Parties: Trucking companies, vehicle manufacturers, maintenance providers, and others may share responsibility.

3. Regulatory Compliance Analysis: We examine whether federal trucking guidelines—especially FMCSA rules—were violated.

4. Negotiations with Multiple Insurance Companies: Commercial vehicles often have layered coverage, meaning several insurers may be involved.

5. Litigation Preparation: If a settlement cannot be reached, we initiate legal proceedings and represent you in court.

Throughout each step, we keep you informed, address your concerns, and work tirelessly to hold every responsible party accountable.
