Truck accidents are among the most catastrophic collisions on the road, often leading to severe injuries, lifelong disabilities, and tragic fatalities. Due to the massive size and weight of commercial trucks, victims in passenger vehicles frequently suffer the worst injuries in these crashes.
At Trial Lawyers of Wisconsin, we fight for truck accident victims, ensuring they receive the full compensation they deserve. Our legal team holds trucking companies, negligent drivers, and other liable parties accountable, securing justice for injured individuals and grieving families.
Truck accident claims are more complex than standard car accident cases due to multiple liable parties and federal trucking regulations. Identifying who is responsible is crucial for building a strong legal case.
✔ Truck Drivers – Fatigue, reckless driving, and impairment contribute to many crashes.
✔ Trucking Companies – Companies that fail to train drivers properly or force unrealistic schedules can be held accountable.
✔ Maintenance Crews – Poorly maintained brakes, tires, or engines can cause mechanical failures leading to accidents.
✔ Cargo Loaders – Overloaded or improperly secured cargo may cause rollovers or jackknife accidents.
✔ Manufacturers – Defective truck parts, such as faulty brakes or steering systems, can make a manufacturer liable for accidents.
✔ Government Entities – Poorly maintained roads, missing signs, or unsafe highway conditions can contribute to crashes.
Because multiple parties may be involved, a thorough investigation is essential to ensure victims receive full compensation.
✔ Driver Fatigue – Truckers often work long hours, increasing the risk of drowsy driving accidents.
✔ Distracted Driving – Texting, using GPS, or eating takes a driver’s focus off the road.
✔ Drunk or Impaired Driving – Truck drivers under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or stimulants pose a major risk to others.
✔ Speeding and Reckless Driving – Large trucks require more time to stop, making excessive speed especially dangerous.
✔ Failure to Maintain Vehicles – Trucking companies that cut corners on maintenance increase the risk of tire blowouts, brake failures, and engine malfunctions.
✔ Dangerous Road Conditions – Snow, ice, fog, and poor lighting increase the likelihood of truck accidents.
✔ Jackknife Accidents – When a truck folds at the hitch, creating a dangerous skid across multiple lanes.
✔ Rear-End Collisions – Trucks require longer stopping distances, leading to devastating rear-end crashes.
✔ Underride Accidents – Smaller vehicles can get trapped under a truck’s trailer, leading to catastrophic injuries.
✔ Rollover Accidents – Speeding, shifting cargo, or improper turns can cause a truck to overturn.
✔ Blind Spot Accidents – Large blind spots make lane changes dangerous, leading to collisions with passenger vehicles.
Each type of crash requires a unique legal strategy, and Trial Lawyers of Wisconsin investigates every detail to prove liability and secure justice.
Truck accidents often leave victims with life-altering injuries that require long-term medical care and rehabilitation.
✔ Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs) – Head trauma can lead to memory loss, personality changes, and permanent cognitive impairment.
✔ Spinal Cord Injuries and Paralysis – Severe accidents can result in partial or total paralysis.
✔ Multiple Bone Fractures – The sheer force of a truck crash often causes compound fractures requiring surgery.
✔ Severe Burns – If a truck accident involves fire or hazardous materials, victims may suffer third-degree burns.
✔ Amputation Injuries – Some victims lose limbs due to severe crushing injuries.
✔ Internal Organ Damage – Blunt force trauma can cause internal bleeding and ruptured organs.
✔ Psychological Trauma – Many victims experience PTSD, anxiety, and depression following a traumatic crash.
The financial burden of these injuries can be devastating, making legal representation critical for securing compensation.
Victims of truck accidents may be entitled to substantial financial compensation, including:
✔ Medical Expenses – Covers hospital stays, surgeries, physical therapy, and lifelong care.
✔ Lost Wages and Earning Capacity – If an injury prevents a victim from returning to work, they can recover lost income and future earnings.
✔ Pain and Suffering – Compensation for physical pain, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life.
✔ Property Damage – Covers vehicle repairs or replacement costs.
✔ Wrongful Death Compensation – Families who lose loved ones in truck accidents may recover funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and lost financial support.
✔ Punitive Damages – In cases of reckless or grossly negligent behavior, courts may award additional punitive damages.
