If you were involved in a truck accident, you’ll want to take a different legal path than you would for a normal car accident. Trucking accident cases are known to be longer and more complex than standard car accident claims for several reasons:
- The injuries are typically much more severe.
- More parties are usually involved, like the commercial trucking company that hired the driver, or the truck manufacturer.
- Truck insurance providers are there to reduce the trucking company’s losses, so they're known to offer unfair settlements.
It’s urgent to speak with a truck accident attorney as soon as possible to ensure that you are able to receive fair compensation before your case expires.
What damages can be claimed in a truck accident lawsuit?
These are some (but not all) of the general and special damages plaintiffs may be able to collect for their accidents. Keep in mind that, in most states, you only have between 2-3 years to file a truck accident claim before the statute of limitations expires.

Truck Accident FAQs
Are truck accident lawsuits hard to win?
They can be, though it partially depends on which state you live in. If you live in Texas, Iowa, or Florida, you may have a hard time filing a claim because of state laws shielding truck companies from liability. A few other states intend to pass similar laws.
Trucking corporations and truck lobbyists also create far more pushback against vehicle crash lawsuits than you would expect from a standard car crash case. Because damages tend to be more severe in truck accidents, these cases are costly and highly time-consuming, and the truck industry aims to make it harder for victims to be awarded fair settlements against vehicle corporations.
How much will this legal representation cost me?
Similarly to auto accident lawyers, the truck accident attorneys in our network will also work on a contingency basis, and you are not obligated to pay any legal fees unless you win your case.
A typical attorney fee for an accident settlement will fall between 30-40%, and your medical and property damage costs are deducted from the money left over.
Who can be found liable in a truck accident?
Because there are usually more parties involved, determining who is at-fault in a truck accident is more complex than it would be for your standard car crash. Here are some examples of parties who could be found liable in a truck accident:
- The truck driver for inadequate driving.
- The trucking company for failing to properly screen or train drivers.
- The truck manufacturer for faulty machinery or poor maintenance)
- A freight company for unsafe cargo weight distribution.
