Truck Accident Injury Lawyer
Large commercial truck accidents are some of the most devastating crashes on the road. Due to the massive size and weight of 18-wheelers, these accidents are rarely minor and often result in serious or catastrophic injuries like wrongful death. If you or a loved one has been injured, working with an experienced truck accident attorney can make a critical difference in your recovery and financial future.
At Wooden Law Firm, P.C., our personal injury attorneys help victims pursue compensation after truck and 18-wheeler accidents caused by negligence, unsafe driving, or trucking company violations.
Why Truck Accidents Are So Dangerous
Commercial trucks operate under conditions that create unique risks, including long hours on the road, tight delivery deadlines, and mechanical limitations. When something goes wrong, the injuries are often life-changing.
Common truck accident injuries include:
-
-
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord and neck injuries
- Broken bones and crush injuries
- Internal organ damage
- Permanent disability
- Wrongful death

Who is Liable for the 18-Wheeler Accident?
If a semi-truck driver is employed by a trucking or shipping company, it is likely that the company may be held responsible for the driver’s negligence. If the driver is an independent contractor of a larger company, it’s sometimes difficult to establish which third party is liable. At Wooden Law Firm, P.C., our team will try to identify as many defendants as possible to ensure that our clients receive maximum compensation.
Possible parties who may be at fault include:
- Semi-truck driver
- Independent contractor
- Insurance companies
- Employers
- Trucking companies
Causes of 18-Wheeler Accidents
Big rigs have various limitations on the road like speed, turning, visibility and braking. These limitations are often the cause of an 18-wheeler accident. Other causes of serious trucking accidents include:
-
-
- Speeding
- Aggressive driving
- Driver fatigue
- Truck defects (tires, lights, etc.)
- Poor driving conditions like fog, snow or rain
- Overloaded or oversized trucks
- Failure to install an underride protection
