Why Are Commercial Truck Accident Cases High Stakes?
Commercial trucks can weigh up to 80,000 pounds when fully loaded, making collisions with passenger vehicles devastating. Victims often suffer catastrophic injuries such as:

– Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
– Spinal cord injuries leading to paralysis
– Multiple fractures
– Amputations
– Severe burns from explosions or fuel leaks

These injuries require extensive medical care, rehabilitation, and lifelong accommodations, leading to substantial economic and non-economic damages.

Complex Liability Issues
Determining liability in a commercial truck accident can be more challenging than in typical car accidents. Multiple parties may be at fault, including:

– The truck driver
– The trucking company
– Maintenance providers
– Vehicle manufacturers
– Cargo loaders

Each party may carry separate insurance policies, often with high limits, which increases the stakes and complexity of the case.

How SELPH LAW Builds Strong Commercial Truck Accident Cases
At SELPH LAW, we understand that commercial truck accident cases require meticulous investigation and strategic litigation. Here’s how we approach these high-stakes claims:

– Thorough Investigation
– We work with accident reconstruction experts and gather critical evidence, including:
– Black box data (event data recorder)
– Driver logs and hours of service records
– Maintenance records

Identifying Violations of Federal Regulations
The trucking industry is regulated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). Common violations that can contribute to accidents include:

– Exceeding hours-of-service limits
– Overloaded or improperly loaded cargo
– Faulty vehicle maintenance
– Unqualified or poorly trained drivers
– Proving these violations can significantly strengthen your claim.
