Commercial truck crash representation.

Tractor-trailers, box trucks, delivery vans, fleet vehicles. Different rules, different insurance, different defendants — and an industry that lawyers up fast. So do we.

Why trucking cases are different

A truck crash is not a "bigger" auto crash — it's a different case. Federal motor carrier regulations apply. Driver logs, ELD data, hours-of-service compliance, drug testing, maintenance records, and load manifests all become discoverable evidence. There are usually multiple potential defendants: the driver, the carrier, the broker, the shipper, and sometimes a third-party maintenance company.

What we handle

  • Tractor-trailer collisions on I-95, I-295, and the Delaware Memorial Bridge
  • Delivery truck and last-mile vehicle crashes
  • Hours-of-service violations and fatigued driving
  • Improperly loaded or unsecured cargo
  • Failure to maintain (brakes, tires, steering)
  • Underride and override collisions
  • Multi-vehicle highway pileups

What we do immediately

Trucking carriers and their insurers send rapid response teams to crash scenes. We move just as fast. Within hours of taking your case we send a federal preservation letter — putting the carrier on notice that ELD data, driver logs, and dashcam footage must be preserved. Failure to preserve becomes evidence in your favor.

§ Common Questions
Frequently Asked

Trucking Accidents FAQ.

01
Who can be held liable?
+
Often more than just the driver. The motor carrier, the broker, the shipper, a maintenance contractor, or a parts manufacturer may all share liability depending on what caused the crash.
02
What is the deadline to file?
+
Generally 2 years for personal injury and wrongful death in DE, NJ, and PA. But evidence — especially ELD data and dashcam — must be preserved within days.
03
Do I have to deal with the trucking company's insurer myself?
+
No. Once we represent you, all communication goes through us. They will offer to "just talk" — that's the move you don't make.
