A trucking accident is often much more severe than any other kind of auto accident. Many victims suffer from traumatic injuries and losses.

What Are The Different Kinds Of Trucks?
While many people think of semi trucks as the main contributor to truck accidents, many common large vehicles can lead to serious injuries and losses, including:
- Box trucks
- Pickup trucks
- Flatbed trucks
- Delivery trucks (Amazon, UPS, FedEx, etc.)
- Garbage trucks
- Utility company vehicles
- Construction vehicles
- Dump trucks
No matter what kind of vehicle caused your losses, our personal injury lawyers are here to help.
Who Is Liable In A Truck Accident?
A truck driver may have been inebriated, asleep or distracted before an accident occurred. In this case, it may seem obvious that the driver is liable for a truck accident. However, in complicated cases, there may be other liable parties responsible for our clients’ injuries and losses, including:
- Trucking company
- Cargo loaders
- Mechanics
- Other drivers
These parties may be responsible for negligent actions that increased the odds of a truck accident, such as neglecting their duties or pushing deadlines.
What Damages Can You Collect With A Successful Truck Accident Case?
With a successful truck accident case, our clients can recover the following damages:
- Medical bills
- Lost wages
- Wrongful death
- Funeral costs
- Long-term health care
- Pain and suffering
We want to help our clients recover maximum compensation for their losses.
