Types of 18-Wheeler Accidents We Handle:

Driver Fatigue

Truck drivers often work long hours and may be prone to fatigue, which can lead to dangerous accidents. We hold trucking companies accountable for violating federal regulations regarding driver hours and rest periods.

Speeding and Reckless Driving

Truck drivers may attempt to meet tight schedules by speeding or driving aggressively, which can lead to serious collisions. We pursue compensation for injuries caused by reckless driving behavior.

Improper Loading

Poorly loaded trucks or unsecured cargo can result in accidents. If improperly loaded cargo contributed to your accident, we will investigate to identify the responsible parties.

Distracted Driving

Truck drivers are often distracted by mobile devices, in-cab technology, or other distractions. If distracted driving played a role in your accident, we work to gather evidence and pursue justice.

Vehicle Maintenance Failures

Trucking companies and their maintenance crews are responsible for ensuring their vehicles are properly maintained. Accidents caused by mechanical failures due to neglect can lead to serious injuries, and we hold the responsible parties accountable.

Inclement Weather and Road Hazards

While weather conditions or road hazards can contribute to accidents, trucking companies must train their drivers to handle these conditions safely. We investigate all aspects of the accident to determine liability.

What to Do After an 18-Wheeler Accident:

  • Seek Immediate Medical Attention: Your health is the top priority. Many injuries from 18-wheeler accidents may not show symptoms immediately.
  • Call Law Enforcement: Report the accident to law enforcement and make sure an official accident report is filed.
  • Document the Scene: Take pictures of the scene, vehicle damage, and any visible injuries. Gather witness information.
  • Contact a Skilled Attorney: The sooner you contact a personal injury attorney, the better. Our team can begin collecting evidence and building your case right away.
  • Avoid Speaking with Insurance Adjusters: Before discussing your case with any insurance companies, contact RSE Law Firm to ensure you don’t unknowingly diminish your claim.
