Truck accidents are often more complicated than crashes between two cars. One reason is that truck accident liability may fall onto more parties than just the driver. Trucking companies, cargo loaders, fleet maintenance companies, and even vehicle manufacturers could all share responsibility. These companies also have large legal teams ready to defend them. Having an attorney on your side can help level the playing field.

Another key difference is the severity of truck accident injuries. Since trucks are much larger and heavier than cars, crashes with big commercial trucks often cause more serious harm. That means medical bills can be higher, and the impact on your life may be more significant. Fortunately, commercial trucks typically carry higher liability insurance limits. With so much money at stake, insurance companies will surely put up an intense fight.
