Commercial Vehicle And Truck Accident Litigation

Car accidents are more straight forward – usually limited to the drivers of the vehicles and their insurance companies. In a trucking accident, the list of potential defendants in a commercial vehicle crash or truck wreck is much broader and may include:

  • Individual business owners
  • Multiple insurers
  • The driver of the truck
  • Government agencies such as the highway department
  • Maintenance companies
  • Mechanics
  • Manufacturers
  • Civil engineers
  • Delivery trucks
  • Semitrucks/big rigs/tractor-trailers
  • Coal trucks
  • Construction vehicles

Because these vehicles are owned and operated by businesses, a lawsuit in these cases may involve a web of potential defendants. These incidents are amongst the most hotly contested cases that we handle. Fortunately, our years of experience more than enable us to hold our own in court.

The investigators and experts whom we work with know how to find out if the driver in the semitruck wreck you were involved in was asleep at the wheel or under the influence of a controlled substance. We can determine whether the manufacturer or the mechanic was at fault. We will look into whether the road itself was adequately designed and maintained.

In short, we look at everything.

All Fees Are On A Contingent Basis. We Advance All Costs. If We Don’t Win, You Pay Nothing.

Truck Wreak Case Examples

Brought legal action against a truck driver and his employer in the vehicular death of a high school student

Quatrini Law Group represented the mother of a 17-year-old high school student who was killed in a motor vehicle accident in which the driver of a commercial tractor trailer failed to observe the van’s turn signal and struck it from behind. This caused the death of her son three days later due to blunt force trauma to the head. QLG first established that the driver of the tractor trailer was searching and reaching for a sandwich in the cab of his truck. As a result, our office brought actions against the truck driver and his employer for both wrongful death and economic losses. Additionally, with the assistance of a medical doctor, we established that our client’s son suffered conscious pain and suffering prior to his death as a result of his injuries.
