Truck accidents often involve multiple parties, including the driver, trucking company, insurers, and sometimes manufacturers, along with strict federal and state regulations.

Liability may rest with the truck driver, trucking company, vehicle owner, maintenance providers, cargo loaders, or other third parties depending on the circumstances.

Commercial trucks are governed by federal safety rules that cover driver hours, maintenance, and cargo limits. Violations of these regulations can be key evidence in a truck accident claim.

Trucking insurers act quickly to limit exposure. It’s best to speak with an experienced attorney before providing statements or accepting any settlement offers.

Critical evidence may include driver logs, black box data, maintenance records, inspection reports, and witness statements.

Victims may seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, future care, pain and suffering, and long-term disability.
