What Makes Truck Accidents More Complex?
Truck accidents involve different factors compared to typical passenger vehicle collisions. These cases often include:
- Multiple liable parties (e.g., trucking companies, drivers, cargo loaders, maintenance crews)
- Extensive damages and injuries due to the sheer size and weight of commercial trucks
- Regulatory violations (e.g., hours of service rules, improper maintenance, overloaded trucks)
- Specialized insurance policies with higher coverage limits and tougher negotiations
Because of these complexities, it’s critical to work with a law firm that understands the unique challenges of truck accident claims.
Common Causes of Truck Accidents
Our legal team investigates every aspect of your case to determine how the accident happened and who is responsible. Some of the most common causes of truck accidents include:
- Driver fatigue – Truck drivers often work long hours, violating federal Hours-of-Service regulations.
- Distracted driving – Texting, eating, or using GPS while driving can lead to serious crashes.
- Speeding – Trucks require longer stopping distances. Speeding reduces a driver’s ability to react in time.
- Improper maintenance – Faulty brakes, worn tires, or neglected mechanical systems can cause catastrophic failures.
- Overloaded or improperly loaded cargo – Shifting or unbalanced loads can make trucks harder to control.
- Driving under the influence – Alcohol, drugs, or certain medications impair judgment and reaction time.
- Reckless or aggressive driving – Unsafe lane changes, tailgating, or ignoring traffic signals increase crash risks.
Types of Truck Accidents We Handle

- Jackknife accidents

- Underride and override accidents
- Blind spot (no-zone) collisions

Who Can Be Held Liable in a Truck Accident?

- Truck drivers – For negligent or reckless driving.
- Trucking companies – For poor hiring practices, failure to train, or encouraging unsafe practices.
- Cargo loaders – For improperly loaded or unsecured cargo.
- Maintenance providers – For inadequate repairs or inspections.
- Truck or parts manufacturers – For defective equipment or mechanical failure.
- Other third parties – Such as contractors or shippers.

- Medical expenses (past, present, and future)
- Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Rehabilitation and therapy costs

What Should You Do After a Truck Accident?
If you’ve been in a truck accident, taking the right steps can protect your health and your legal rights:
- Call 911 immediately and report the accident.
- Seek medical attention even if you feel fine. Injuries can surface later.
- Document the scene if you’re able—take photos, get witness information, and note vehicle details.
- Do not admit fault or give recorded statements to the trucking company or insurers without legal advice.
- Contact a truck accident lawyer as soon as possible.
Time is critical in these cases. Trucking companies often have teams on the ground immediately after an accident to limit their liability.
