We want to hold the party or parties liable that caused the truck accident. Truck accidents can also be more complex than a car accident since multiple parties can be held responsible for the crash. It all depends on the unique details of your case.
Parties that can be held responsible for a truck accident may include:
- The truck driver
- The trucking company
- The tire or truck manufacturer
- The cargo company
A truck driver could be responsible for the accident if they were operating the truck negligently while eating, being under the influence of a substance, or texting. In the case of a truck accident, the trucking company could be held liable according to the doctrine of vicarious liability. If an employee commits a wrongful act while on the job, they are ultimately their company’s responsibility.
If there was, however, an unknown defective part in the truck or an issue with one of the tires that caused it to malfunction and—as a result—harm others, the tire or truck manufacturer can be held accountable for the crash. It is also possible that the cargo company that loaded the truck did not properly secure the items, causing contents to fall off and injure surrounding drivers. In this situation, the cargo company can be held liable for their negligence.
We understand that truck accidents can happen in a plethora of ways. No matter how your accident occurred, we want to hear about it and determine what we can do in order for you to receive fair compensation for injuries you suffered through no fault of your own.
We know you’re hurting. We can help. Free case evaluations, home and hospital visits.

If you are recovering from injuries sustained in a truck accident or attending to an injured loved one, you should not have to worry about anything else. We want to do all the heavy lifting for you. We help you during this difficult time in the following ways:
Speaking with Multiple Insurance Companies
Insurance companies are known to invalidate, deny, and downplay claims. They also tend to offer lower settlements than a victim deserves, hoping you will agree to it. We will gladly negotiate with insurance companies. If they do not cooperate, we can pursue litigation.
Communicating with the Trucking Company
A trucking company may try to fight your claim and settle out of court for less than you deserve, or their lawyers may challenge your case in court. We will handle this aspect completely. We are on your side and can build a case for you.
Gathering Evidence
If you kept pictures of the accident, it is important to use these photographs in your case. We can also speak to eyewitnesses if you exchanged contact information with anyone at the scene. We can speak to your doctor (with your permission) about your injuries and acquire your medical records. You should also have an incident report. If you do not, we can procure it from the proper authorities.
Our goal is to identify the liable party or parties and obtain compensation on your behalf. We can work with accident reconstructionists and medical experts to help strengthen your case, as well. We want to represent you and take care of your legal matters while you focus on yourself or your family.
You need an attorney with the experience and dedication to give your case the care it deserves.

In Pennsylvania, one usually has two years to file for either a personal injury lawsuit or a wrongful death lawsuit if a loved one passed away in a truck accident under § 5524, Title 42. We encourage you to get legal help sooner rather than later because it takes time to build a compelling case. You do not want to end up barred from seeking compensation you deserve for waiting too long to take action.
