Truck accident cases require more than simply determining that two vehicles collided. An investigation may need to examine the truck driver, trucking company, vehicle condition, maintenance records, driver qualifications, hours-of-service records, cargo, insurance coverage, and other evidence.
Our attorneys work to understand what happened and identify the parties who may be legally responsible.
A collision involving a commercial truck can be significantly different from an ordinary passenger-vehicle accident.
A truck accident may involve:
Important evidence can also become more difficult to obtain as time passes.
That is why it can be important to speak with an experienced truck accident lawyer as soon as reasonably possible after a serious collision.
Your health and safety should be your first priority after a truck accident.
Depending on the circumstances, important steps may include:
You do not have to determine fault or calculate the value of your claim immediately after an accident. An attorney can help you understand what information is important and what steps should be taken.
Truck accident investigations can become complicated quickly. Our attorneys can help investigate the crash and pursue evidence that may be relevant to your claim.
Depending on the circumstances, we may:
Our goal is to determine what happened, identify who may be responsible, and pursue the compensation available under the law.
Determining responsibility after a truck accident can be more complicated than determining fault in a typical car accident.
Depending on the circumstances, potentially responsible parties may include:
A truck driver may be responsible when negligent driving contributes to a collision. Examples can include distracted driving, impaired driving, speeding, unsafe lane changes, or other violations of applicable rules.
A trucking company may have responsibility depending on its role in the accident and the conduct of its employees or agents. Issues may involve hiring, training, supervision, scheduling, maintenance, or other factors.
A truck may be owned, leased, maintained, or serviced by different companies. Maintenance problems or defective equipment may contribute to a crash.
Improperly loaded or secured cargo can create serious safety risks. Depending on the circumstances, another company or party involved in loading or transporting the cargo may have responsibility.
Every truck accident is different. An attorney can investigate the facts and determine which parties may need to be considered.
The size and weight difference between a commercial truck and a passenger vehicle can result in severe injuries.
Truck crashes can cause:
Some injuries may not be immediately apparent after a collision. Medical evaluation and follow-up care are important even when an injury initially appears minor.
The damages available in a truck accident claim depend on the circumstances of the case and the applicable law.
Depending on the circumstances, compensation may include losses related to:
When a truck accident causes a fatal injury, surviving family members may also have a wrongful death claim.
Our attorneys can evaluate the circumstances of your case and explain what types of compensation may be available.

After a truck accident, seek medical attention for any injuries and contact law enforcement when appropriate. If you are able, document the accident scene and preserve photographs, medical records, insurance information, and other evidence. Because trucking companies and insurers may begin investigating quickly, it is also important to understand your legal rights before giving statements or accepting a settlement.
Not every truck accident requires an attorney. However, legal representation can be particularly important when you have serious injuries, disputed fault, significant medical expenses, lost income, permanent injuries, multiple potentially responsible parties, or complicated insurance issues.
A consultation can help you understand your options.
Truck accident cases can involve commercial drivers, trucking companies, multiple insurance policies, federal and state regulations, electronic records, maintenance records, cargo issues, and other evidence that may not be involved in an ordinary car accident.
Because of these additional issues, truck accident claims can require a more extensive investigation.
A truck accident lawyer can investigate the collision, identify potentially responsible parties, preserve and evaluate evidence, communicate with insurance companies and trucking companies, assess your injuries and losses, negotiate a settlement, and pursue litigation when appropriate.
Depending on the circumstances, responsibility may involve the truck driver, trucking company, vehicle owner, maintenance provider, cargo loader, manufacturer, or another party. An investigation is necessary to determine who may be legally responsible for a particular collision.
Evidence may include police reports, photographs, witness statements, medical records, driver records, hours-of-service information, electronic logging data, vehicle inspection and maintenance records, electronic vehicle data, cargo records, and insurance information.
Some evidence may be time-sensitive, which is one reason it can be important to begin an investigation promptly.
A trucking company or its insurance carrier may contact you after a collision. Before providing a recorded statement or accepting a settlement, it can be helpful to understand your rights and the potential value of your claim.
Commercial truck accidents can involve different types of insurance coverage. Depending on the circumstances, there may be multiple policies or potentially responsible parties to consider.
An attorney can review the available insurance coverage and explain your options.
Legal deadlines can apply to truck accident claims, and the applicable deadline depends on the type of claim and circumstances involved. Because missing a deadline can affect your legal rights, it is important to discuss a serious truck accident with an attorney as soon as reasonably possible.
Truck collisions can cause traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, broken bones, internal injuries, burns, amputations, permanent disabilities, and other serious or catastrophic injuries. Some injuries may not be immediately apparent after a crash.
Lost income may be part of a truck accident claim when an injury prevents you from working or reduces your ability to earn income. The damages available depend on the circumstances of the case and applicable law.

Instead, the state follows a modified comparative negligence rule. This […]

The unfortunate fact is that as long as there are truck accidents, there will be loss of life. When that happens, GKT’s car accident lawyers have the knowledge and experience to help families left heartbroken.
The brain is unfortunately one of the more commonly injured organs in a car accident. Brain injuries stemming from a truck accident can take weeks, months, or even years to recover.
Traumatic brain injuries are not uncommon injuries suffered in truck accidents. Brain injuries run the gamut from minor concussions with no long-lasting harm to brain bleeds, brain swelling, and other brain injuries.
While broken bones and muscle injuries are typically not life-threatening, that does not mean they should be treated lightly. Broken bones can be extremely painful and result in temporary impairment or sometimes permanent impairment.
Broken bones and muscle, ligament, and tendon injuries are some of the most complex truck accident case injuries. An experienced and skilled truck accident lawyer, like those at GKT, know how to maximize the recovery of a person suffering from a broken bone or muscle, ligament, or tendon injury.
When spine injuries occur as a result of a truck accident, the results can be tragic. The fact is car accident spine injuries can be as “minor” as a sore back or as serious as permanent paralysis.
Spine disc injuries are common in whiplash injuries and can impact any section of the spine.
