Truck Accidents

Helping Injured People After Serious Truck Accidents

Collisions involving commercial trucks can cause devastating injuries and substantial financial losses. The size and weight of tractor-trailers, delivery trucks, and other commercial vehicles can make these crashes far more serious than ordinary passenger-vehicle accidents.

Hamed Law Firm represents people injured in truck accidents caused by negligent driving, unsafe lane changes, speeding, driver fatigue, improper loading, inadequate maintenance, and other unsafe conduct.

Truck accident claims can also involve multiple companies, insurance policies, and sources of evidence. We focus on identifying what happened, determining who may be responsible, documenting the resulting losses, and pursuing the compensation available under the law.

How We Approach a Truck Accident Claim

1. Investigate the Collision

We review available crash reports, photographs, witness information, vehicle damage, and other evidence that may help establish how the collision occurred.

2. Identify Responsible Parties

Depending on the circumstances, responsibility may extend beyond the truck driver to a trucking company, vehicle owner, maintenance provider, cargo-related party, or another entity involved in the operation of the vehicle.

3. Preserve and Review Evidence

Truck accident cases can involve driver logs, electronic vehicle data, maintenance records, company records, inspection information, and other evidence that may become important to the claim.

4. Pursue an Appropriate Resolution

We document the injuries and losses, address the insurance coverage involved, and pursue a resolution through negotiation or further legal action when appropriate.

Focused Case Preparation

Commercial truck claims can involve more evidence and more potentially responsible parties than a typical automobile accident. Careful preparation helps establish responsibility, understand available insurance coverage, and document the full impact of the collision.

THOROUGH INVESTIGATION

We examine the circumstances surrounding the collision and the available evidence that may help establish responsibility.

COMPLEX CLAIM PREPARATION

Truck accident claims can involve commercial insurance policies, company records, vehicle information, and multiple responsible parties.

CLIENT-FOCUSED ADVOCACY

We keep clients informed throughout the process and tailor our representation to the injuries, losses, and circumstances of each case.

What Should I Do After a Truck Accident?

Seek appropriate medical attention and report the collision. If possible, preserve photographs, witness information, insurance information, and any documents relating to the crash. Because commercial trucking evidence may not remain available indefinitely, investigating the accident promptly can be important.

Who Can Be Responsible for a Truck Accident?

Responsibility depends on the facts. Potentially responsible parties may include the truck driver, trucking company, vehicle owner, maintenance provider, cargo-related companies, or other parties whose conduct contributed to the collision.

What Evidence Can Be Important in a Truck Accident Case?

Evidence may include crash reports, photographs, witness statements, electronic vehicle data, driver logs, maintenance and inspection records, company documents, and information concerning the truck and its cargo.

Why Are Truck Accident Claims More Complicated Than Car Accident Claims?

Commercial trucking cases can involve multiple parties, larger insurance policies, specialized records, and additional regulations governing the operation and maintenance of commercial vehicles. Determining responsibility often requires reviewing more than the actions of the individual driver.
