18 Wheeler &
Trucking Accidents

A trucking company’s first call after a crash is to its insurer and corporate safety team. Many carriers send rapid-response units to the scene within hours to protect their interests, gather their own evidence, and sometimes get ahead of the narrative. Meanwhile, victims are often in the hospital, disoriented, or unsure of what comes next. These cases involve federal motor carrier regulations, driver qualification files, maintenance logs, route histories, fatigue rules, black-box downloads, and company safety policies. Preserving this evidence early is essential because trucking companies begin building their defense immediately.

Experts We Work With

18-wheeler collisions require a higher level of investigation and expert analysis than ordinary motor-vehicle accidents.

Our firm works with:

Medical and treatment experts, including treating physicians, orthopedic specialists, pain management doctors, chiropractors, neurologists, and physical therapists who can document your injuries and connect them directly to the crash.

Litigation and forensic experts, including accident reconstructionists, black-box (ECM) investigators, trucking-industry safety experts, vocational experts, and economic loss experts who can evaluate future medical needs, lost wages, and long-term recovery shaping.

This combination of medical and scientific testimony strengthens your claim and helps establish the full value of your injuries.
