Truck Accidents

Dedicated Legal Support for Commercial Truck Accident Victims

Large commercial trucks, including tractor-trailers and semis, are essential for transporting goods across Pennsylvania and beyond. However, their massive size and weight—often up to 80,000 pounds—can lead to devastating accidents with catastrophic injuries or even fatalities. In 2022, Pennsylvania saw 7,244 heavy truck crashes, resulting in 156 deaths, an increase from 2021, highlighting the growing impact of truck-related accidents on road safety in the state. When these tragic accidents occur, victims and their families need experienced legal support to navigate the complexities of truck accident claims.

If you or a loved one was seriously injured in a truck accident, we can help you navigate the complex legal landscape. With over 30 years of experience serving the great Philadelphia region, we work tirelessly to hold negligent truck drivers and trucking companies accountable.

Types of Commercial Truck Accident Cases Our Firm Handles

Truck accidents happen for many reasons, including driver fatigue, distracted driving, speeding, recklessness, improper maintenance, cargo loading issues, weather conditions, or driving under the influence. Regardless of the cause, we have the experience and resources to represent clients in cases including:

Jackknife Accidents

The trailer swings out, creating a 90-degree angle with the truck cab, often due to sudden braking.

Rear-End Collisions

Colliding into vehicles ahead, frequently causing severe injuries due to the truck’s size and weight.

Underride Accidents

A smaller vehicle slides under the trailer, often leading to catastrophic injuries or fatalities.

Wide Turn Accidents

A truck swings left to make a right turn, potentially trapping vehicles in its blind spot.

Rollover Accidents

The truck tips over, often blocking multiple lanes and involving multiple vehicles.

Tire Bowouts

Sudden tire failures that can lead to loss of control and multi-vehicle accidents.
Our firm is dedicated to investigating the unique circumstances of each type of truck accident to hold the responsible parties accountable and pursue the maximum compensation you deserve.

Qualifying Injuries for Truck Accident Claims

Due to the size and force of commercial trucks, accidents often result in severe, life-altering injuries, including:

  • Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs): Head injuries can lead to long-term cognitive and physical impairments.
  • Spinal Cord Injuries: Damage can result in partial or complete paralysis, necessitating lifelong care.
  • Multiple Fractures: Broken bones may require surgeries and extensive rehabilitation.
  • Internal Organ Damage: Serious internal injuries may not be immediately apparent but can be life-threatening.
  • Burns and Lacerations: Severe burns or deep cuts can cause scarring and require reconstructive surgery.
  • Amputations: Loss of limbs can occur upon impact or due to severe injury complications.
  • Wrongful Death: In the most tragic cases, accidents result in fatalities, leading to wrongful death claims by surviving family members.
