There are other types of commercial vehicles that cause injuries and fatalities. Our nationwide truck accident law firm handles them all.
The severe nature of the injuries cause by truck accidents leaves injured victims often dependent on others for basic care at rehabilitation centers, with in-home nursing agencies and care from family members for months, years or for the rest of their lives.
Personal injuries caused by truck accidents are similar to those caused by motorcycle accidents and catastrophic motor vehicle accidents. Injuries can include crushed bones and other orthopedic injuries, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, loss of limbs, burn injuries, permanent disfigurements and even the unthinkable, wrongful death.
Our truck accident attorneys have the knowlege, resources and experience to help clients find the right doctors, seek out the best treatment options and consider the long-term medical and psychological care to help our clients and their families get to a place to find happiness again.
There are a multitude of causes that result in a truck accident ranging from bad weather to alcohol and drug use. Many accidents occur when a car driver stays in the “No-zones” around a truck for too long, but commerical truck drivers are trained to drive defensively in order to avoid these common accidents.
Our truck accident attorneys have spent countless hours behind the wheel being trained on the proper defensive and emergency techniques truck drivers are supposed to use to avoid accidents.
Not every accident is caused by the actions of a driver – equipment failure, improper load balancing and poor vehicle maintenance also cause many truck accidents across our nation.
Our investigations often reveal additional parties, such as parts manufacturers, truck manufacturers, and mechanics, are also at fault for these devastating accidents.

- Negligence
