Why are truck accident cases different from car accident cases?

Federal regulations, much higher policy limits, multiple potentially liable parties, and time-sensitive evidence (ELD logs, ECM data) make these cases far more complex and valuable.

What evidence do you need from a truck accident?

Driver hours-of-service logs, ECM 'black box' data, maintenance records, dispatch logs, post-crash drug tests, and the driver's qualification file. We send a preservation letter immediately.

Can I sue the trucking company, not just the driver?

Yes. Employers are typically vicariously liable for their drivers and may also be directly liable for negligent hiring, training, or supervision.

What if the truck was hauling hazardous materials?

Hazmat carriers are subject to additional federal regulations and typically carry significantly higher insurance limits. Toxic exposure damages may also be available.

How much can I recover for a truck accident?

Truck cases often involve substantial recoveries because injuries are severe and policy limits are high. Every case is different — we give honest evaluations.

Why is it urgent to call an attorney quickly after a truck crash?

Trucking companies dispatch rapid-response teams to the scene within hours. ELD logs, dashcam, and ECM data can be overwritten in days. We send preservation letters immediately.

What is an ECM and why does it matter?

The Engine Control Module is the truck's 'black box' — it records speed, braking, throttle, and other data in the seconds before a crash. It's often decisive evidence.

What if I was injured in a crash with a delivery van (Amazon, FedEx, UPS)?

Delivery operations are typically backed by commercial liability policies with much higher limits than personal auto coverage. Liability may extend to the carrier and any contracting company.
