Who was injured in the big rig accident?
This helps us match you with the right attorney.
Why it's different
Truck claims are not car claims
A loaded tractor-trailer weighs up to 80,000 pounds — about 20 times more than a passenger car. The injuries are worse, and the legal case is fundamentally different.
Federal regulations set the standard
FMCSA rules govern driving hours, drug testing, and maintenance. A documented violation is powerful evidence of negligence. FMCSA rules & evidence
Multiple parties may be liable
The driver, the motor carrier, the cargo loader, a maintenance contractor, even the manufacturer — each brings its own insurance policy. Who can be held liable
Evidence disappears in weeks
Black box data, dashcam footage, and driver logs get overwritten fast. An attorney sends a preservation letter immediately. What to do after a crash
Root causes
What causes big rig crashes
FMCSA data shows most serious truck accidents trace back to a handful of preventable failures — and the cause determines who you can hold accountable.
Driver fatigue
Hours-of-service violations remain a leading cause of fatal crashes.
Jackknife accidents
A trailer swinging past the cab can sweep across multiple lanes.
Underride crashes
Among the deadliest collisions on any highway.
Brake failure
Skipped inspections usually point to carrier negligence.
Tire blowouts
A failed tire on an 80,000-lb rig means loss of control.
All ten causes
Rollovers, blind spots, cargo shift, impaired driving, and more.
Compensation

Wages missed during recovery, plus reduced ability to earn going forward.
Pain, suffering, and wrongful death
Non-economic damages — and in fatal crashes, support for surviving family. How settlement value works
