Truck accident claims differ from standard car accident cases in several important ways. Commercial trucking companies are governed by federal regulations covering driver hours of service, vehicle maintenance, cargo loading, and driver qualifications. Violations of these regulations can serve as powerful evidence of negligence. Additionally, multiple parties may share liability in a truck accident — including the driver, the trucking company, the vehicle manufacturer, and the cargo loading company.

★★★★★ Michelle Albertine: "Ken Gibson represented me after I had been attacked by a neighborhood dog. Ken and Michelle, his paralegal kept me abreast of the responses from the home owners attorney and communicated the options I had available to me. Ken or Michelle called me when changes to the case occurred and sent me copies of all written communications documented on my case."

The injuries sustained in truck-versus-car collisions often require immediate emergency medical care and may include spinal fractures, amputations, organ damage, and severe burns. Long-term rehabilitation, adaptive equipment, and home modifications may be necessary, driving the total cost of recovery into the hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars.

Because trucking companies and their insurers often have aggressive legal teams that begin investigating immediately after a crash, it is critical for victims to secure legal representation as quickly as possible. An attorney can preserve essential evidence such as electronic logging device data, driver inspection reports, and black box recordings before they are lost or destroyed.
