Trucking

Trucking accidents involving large commercial semi-trucks, 18-wheelers, and tractor-trailers are among the most devastating collisions on our roadways due to the massive size and weight of these vehicles. When trucks weighing up to 80,000 pounds collide with passenger vehicles, the results are often catastrophic, causing severe injuries, fatalities, and life-altering consequences for victims and their families.

Common causes of trucking accidents include driver fatigue from violating federal hours-of-service regulations, distracted driving while using devices or eating, speeding to meet unrealistic delivery deadlines, improper cargo loading causing jackknifes or rollovers, inadequate vehicle maintenance leading to brake failures, and trucking companies prioritizing profits over driver safety and proper training.

Victims of truck accidents frequently suffer traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage resulting in paralysis, multiple fractures, severe burns, crushing injuries, amputations, and wrongful death. The physical, emotional, and financial toll is overwhelming, with medical bills reaching millions of dollars and victims often unable to return to work or maintain their previous quality of life.
