Injuries
Claims after a truck crash
A crash with a truck is a crash with a company. It has lawyers already; you should too.
Freight runs through here on I-90, Highway 95 and Highway 2, and log trucks share the mountain roads with everyone else. After a serious crash the carrier sends its own investigators, sometimes the same day. Driving logs, dashcam footage and the truck’s own data can be overwritten in weeks. Our first job is a letter telling the company to keep all of it.
We handle
Semi and tractor-trailer crashes
Log trucks and gravel haulers
Delivery and box trucks
Unsecured or shifting loads
Drivers past their hours
What we ask the trucking company to keep
Driver logs
The electronic record of hours on duty, rest breaks and miles driven before the crash.
Truck data
Speed, braking and engine data the truck itself records, and any dashcam video.
Maintenance and loading
Brake and tire records, inspection reports and who loaded the trailer.

Questions after a truck crash
Who pays when a truck driver causes a crash?
Often the trucking company, not just the driver. Carriers carry larger policies, and a company can be responsible for how it hired, trained, scheduled or loaded. Sometimes a shipper or a repair shop shares the blame.
The trucking company’s insurer already called me. What should I do?
Be polite, take their name and number, and don’t give a recorded statement. Then call us. We’ll write to the company the same day.
Do truck cases take longer than car cases?
Usually, because the injuries are worse and there’s more evidence to collect. We’ll give you an honest sense of the timeline at the first meeting and update you as it changes.
What if the truck was from another state?
That’s common on I-90. It doesn’t stop you from bringing your claim here, and federal trucking rules apply wherever the company is based.

No recovery, no attorney’s fee. Case costs such as records, filing fees and experts are separate: we advance them, and your written fee agreement says whether you repay them if the case doesn’t recover.
