Trucking Wrecks

Trucking accidents cause catastrophic injuries. The Nagel Law Firm has the experience and resources to take on major trucking companies and their insurers.

When an 80,000-pound commercial truck collides with a passenger vehicle, the results are often catastrophic. Trucking wrecks cause some of the most severe injuries we see — traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, multiple fractures, and wrongful death.

Trucking cases are more complex than typical car accident claims. Multiple parties may be liable: the truck driver, the trucking company, the freight loader, or the vehicle manufacturer. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations add another layer of complexity.

At The Nagel Law Firm, we move fast. Trucking companies deploy rapid response teams to accident scenes to protect their interests. We counter that by immediately preserving black box data, driver logs, maintenance records, and surveillance footage before it can be destroyed.

We investigate every angle — driver fatigue, Hours of Service violations, improper loading, inadequate maintenance, and substance abuse. When trucking companies cut corners to increase profits, we hold them accountable.
