Overview
Commercial truck accidents often cause devastating injuries because of vehicle weight and braking distance. These cases frequently involve federal motor carrier regulations, employer liability, and multiple insurance layers.
Why This Practice Area Matters
We investigate hours-of-service logs, maintenance records, and qualification files. Understanding negligent hiring, improper loading, and brake failures is central to many tractor-trailer claims.
Common Causes
- Driver fatigue and hours-of-service violations
- Speeding or unsafe lane changes with heavy loads
- Improperly secured freight / shifting cargo
- Poor truck maintenance (brakes, tires)
- Distracted driving in cab
- Inadequate driver training or screening
Compensation You May Recover
- Extensive hospital and surgical bills
- Long-term rehabilitation and mobility devices
- Lost income and loss of future earnings
- Pain and suffering
- Punitive damages (rare, fact-specific)
Case Guide
Truck crash cases blend traffic law with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) compliance. Early preservation letters help secure electronic logging device (ELD) data and dashcam footage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who can be sued besides the truck driver?
Depending on the facts, potentially the motor carrier, maintenance vendor, shipping company, or others whose negligence contributed to the crash.
What is an electronic logging device (ELD) and why does it matter?
ELDs record driving time to help enforce hours-of-service rules. ELD data can show whether fatigue or violations contributed to the collision.
Are truck accident settlements larger than car accident settlements?
They can be when injuries are catastrophic and insurance limits are higher, but every case depends on liability, damages, and available coverage.
