We help with a wide range of trucking accidents
Tractor-trailer collisions
80,000-lb rigs devastate passenger cars. It may be needed to mine FMCSA logs, black-box data, and brake records to prove negligence, which is crucial for claims beyond workers' compensation.
Delivery vans & box trucks
Accidents involving company-owned delivery vehicles (like Amazon, UPS, FedEx) during work hours can involve both a personal injury claim and a workers' compensation claim.
Forklift & heavy machinery
Injuries can occur on loading docks or at worksites. These cases often involve complex interactions between workers' comp and potential third-party liability claims against equipment manufacturers.
Loading dock & warehouse
Accidents in these environments can involve trucks, forklifts, and other workers, creating complicated liability scenarios that may include multiple parties.
Construction vehicle accidents
Dump trucks, cement mixers, and other construction vehicles create significant risks in work zones, often leading to claims against multiple contractors in addition to workers' comp.
Tanker truck accidents
Tankers hauling hazardous materials demand special licenses and create unique risks. An accident at work involving these vehicles requires specialized legal knowledge.
Common types of trucking accident
Jackknife accidents
A jackknife occurs when a truck’s trailer swings toward the cab, forming an L-shape after sudden braking or on slick roads. The trailer can sweep across several lanes and smash multiple cars.
Rollover crashes
Top-heavy trucks and delivery vans can tip during sharp turns, high winds, or when cargo shifts. A rolling vehicle may crush nearby cars or scatter debris that triggers pile-ups.
Underride collisions
An underride happens when a smaller car slides beneath a truck’s trailer, shearing off the roof and causing severe or fatal injuries. Missing underride guards or weak tail-lights are common factors.
Wide-turn accidents
Trucks swing wide and can trap cars or other vehicles in their blind spots, which is a frequent cause of accidents at intersections and in tight industrial areas.
Unsecured load & cargo spills
Improperly strapped or overloaded cargo can shift, causing the truck to topple or scattering debris on the road, leading to serious accidents.
Multi-vehicle accidents
Chain-reaction pile-ups often start with one crash involving a large truck that triggers others. Determining fault can be complex, involving multiple drivers and potentially multiple employers.
