Personal Injury
Truck Accident Attorney
Complex commercial vehicle litigation
Accidents involving semi-trucks, 18-wheelers, and commercial vehicles cause catastrophic injuries due to the massive size and weight difference. These cases require specialized knowledge of federal trucking regulations and industry practices.
When a fully loaded tractor-trailer weighing up to 80,000 pounds collides with a passenger vehicle, the results are often devastating. Truck accident cases are far more complex than typical car accidents. Multiple parties may be liable, federal regulations come into play, and trucking companies have aggressive legal teams ready to protect their interests.
The Heinrich Firm has the resources and experience to take on trucking companies and their insurers. We understand FMCSA regulations, electronic logging device (ELD) data, and the tactics trucking companies use to avoid responsibility. We move quickly to preserve crucial evidence before it disappears.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about truck accident attorney cases
Why are truck accident cases different from car accidents?
Truck accidents involve federal regulations, multiple liable parties, higher insurance limits, and more complex evidence. Trucking companies have experienced legal teams. You need an attorney who understands this specialized area.
What evidence is critical in truck accident cases?
ELD (electronic logging device) data, driver logs, the truck's "black box," maintenance records, driver qualification files, drug test results, and dispatch communications. This evidence can be destroyed quickly, so time is critical.
Can I sue the trucking company, not just the driver?
Yes. Trucking companies are often liable for their drivers' negligence under respondeat superior. They may also be directly liable for negligent hiring, inadequate training, or pressuring drivers to violate safety rules.
How much are truck accident cases worth?
Due to the severity of injuries, truck accident cases often result in significant compensation. Values depend on injury severity, liability clarity, available insurance, and long-term impacts. We evaluate each case individually.
