Truck Accidents

Accidents involving commercial trucks are some of the most devastating on the road. These massive vehicles can cause life-altering injuries or fatalities in a matter of seconds. At NextStep Law Firm, we represent victims of truck accidents and their families, holding negligent trucking companies, drivers, and insurers accountable. When you’re injured, overwhelmed, and facing an uphill legal battle, we help you take the next step toward justice and recovery.

Why Truck Accident Cases Are More Complex Than Car Accidents

Truck accident claims are significantly more complicated than standard car crash cases. They often involve:

• Multiple liable parties (e.g., trucking company, driver, maintenance providers, cargo loaders)
• Federal and state trucking regulations
• Commercial insurance policies with aggressive legal defense teams
• Catastrophic injuries and higher financial stakes

That’s why you need an experienced legal team who knows how to investigate these cases, deal with commercial insurers, and fight for maximum compensation.

Common Causes of Truck Accidents

Truck accidents often result from negligence on the part of the driver, trucking company, or third-party contractors. Common causes include:

• Driver fatigue or hours-of-service violations
• Speeding or reckless driving
• Distracted or impaired driving
• Improper loading or unsecured cargo
• Inadequate maintenance or faulty brakes
• Lack of proper driver training
• Violations of safety regulations

At NextStep Law Firm, we conduct thorough investigations to uncover the true cause of the accident and who is legally responsible.

Injuries in Truck Accidents

Due to the sheer size and weight of commercial trucks, injuries are often severe or fatal. We represent clients suffering from:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
• Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
• Broken bones and internal injuries
• Severe burns and lacerations
• Amputations
• Wrongful death of a loved one

What Compensation Can You Recover?

Depending on the details of your case, you may be entitled to compensation for:

• Medical bills (current and future)
• Lost income and reduced earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Property damage
• Long-term care or disability
• Funeral and burial expenses (in fatal cases)

We work with medical experts, accident reconstructionists, and financial analysts to ensure your claim reflects the full impact of your injuries.
