Other Vehicle Accidents
Semi crashes on I-35 and I-90 involve federal rules and multiple liable parties. Learn what makes truck cases complex.
Multiple Liable Parties
Unlike car crashes, a truck accident may involve the driver, the trucking company, a maintenance contractor, the cargo loader, and even parts manufacturers. Identifying every responsible party is key to full recovery.
Federal Regulations
Trucking is governed by Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration rules covering driver hours, maintenance, and load securement. Violations can help establish negligence — but only if the evidence is preserved.
Critical Evidence
Electronic logging device data, the truck's event recorder, inspection logs, and driver records can disappear quickly. Trucking companies often dispatch teams to crash scenes immediately, so injured victims need their own advocate fast.
Catastrophic Injuries
Because of the size disparity, truck crashes often cause life-altering injuries. These high-value claims are heavily defended and demand experienced representation.
