Collisions with commercial trucks are among the most devastating accidents on the road. With massive vehicles, powerful impact forces, and complex liability issues, victims face an uphill battle. My Crash Attorneys stands beside injured drivers and families to secure the justice and compensation they deserve.

Truck accidents are unlike ordinary car crashes. The sheer size and weight of commercial trucks—often 20 to 30 times heavier than passenger vehicles—means that even a low-speed collision can result in catastrophic harm. For many victims, the aftermath is life-altering: severe injuries, permanent disability, emotional trauma, and financial burdens that last for years.

At My Crash Attorneys, we understand how devastating these cases can be. Our firm is dedicated to representing injured individuals and families who have been harmed by negligent trucking companies, unsafe drivers, or improperly maintained commercial vehicles. We guide you through each step of the process, ensuring your rights are protected from day one.

Why Truck Accidents Are So Complex

Truck accident cases involve more complications than a standard motor vehicle crash. Multiple parties may be responsible, including:

  • The truck driver
  • The trucking company
  • Third-party maintenance providers
  • Cargo loading companies
  • Manufacturers of defective truck parts

Each party may attempt to shift blame onto someone else, making it difficult for victims to get honest answers or fair compensation. In addition, trucking companies and insurers employ aggressive legal teams whose goal is to minimize or deny claims as quickly as possible.

Insurance policies for commercial trucks are often worth millions of dollars, which means the stakes are high—and insurers fight hard.

Common Causes of Truck Accidents

Many truck crashes aren’t “accidents” at all. They happen because someone chose to cut corners, ignore safety rules, or push a driver beyond reasonable limits. Common causes include:

  • Driver fatigue and hours-of-service violations
  • Distracted driving
  • Speeding to meet unrealistic deadlines
  • Improperly loaded or shifting cargo
  • Brake and tire failures
  • Poor truck maintenance
  • Impaired or reckless driving

Each of these causes contributes to preventable tragedies. When negligence leads to severe injuries, victims deserve accountability.

Injuries Often Seen in Truck Accidents

The force of a truck collision commonly results in severe injuries such as:

  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Spinal cord damage
  • Broken bones
  • Internal injuries
  • Severe lacerations
  • Crushing injuries
  • Long-term disability or chronic pain

These injuries often require emergency treatment, surgeries, physical therapy, rehabilitation, and long-term medical follow-up. The financial cost can be overwhelming without proper compensation.

What Victims May Recover

If you’ve been injured in a truck accident, you may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Medical expenses (past and future)
  • Lost wages and lost earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Disability or disfigurement
  • Property damage
  • Wrongful death damages for families

Our job is to calculate the full extent of your losses—economic and non-economic—so you receive the compensation you truly deserve.
