Truck Accidents Require a Different Strategy

Not all accident cases are the same. When a commercial vehicle or tractor-trailer is involved, things get more complicated — fast. These cases often involve multiple parties, including the trucking company, their insurance provider, and sometimes the manufacturer of faulty equipment. Our team has a deep understanding of federal and state trucking regulations and how to build a case that sticks.

When the trucking industry cuts corners, we make sure they pay the price.

We dig deep to uncover violations like:

  • Hours-of-service breaches

  • Improper maintenance

  • Negligent hiring or training

  • Overloaded or unbalanced cargo
