Truck Accident Attorneys That Fight For You
Following a truck accident, you may be left with injuries and expenses and wonder how you’ll be able to pay for them. You’ll likely face negotiations with your insurance company and may be offered an initial settlement offer. However, many truck accident victims don’t get the compensation they deserve from their insurance providers and continue to suffer from the consequences of the accident long after their injuries have healed.
Our truck accident lawyers are not afraid to deal with insurance companies. We will stand up for your rights to full and fair compensation and advocate for you every step of the way.
Damages You Can Reclaim After a Truck Accident
A serious truck accident can leave you with expenses and financial burdens that make it more difficult for you to recover from your injuries. A truck accident attorney can help you recover compensation for your losses, including:
Medical Bills
Medical expenses related to your recovery might include emergency services, hospitalization, surgeries, medications, long-term treatment, rehabilitation, prosthetic devices, and physical therapy.
Property Damage
Damage or destruction of your vehicle and personal belongings are considered compensable damages in a truck accident claim.
Non-Economic Damages
You may also be compensated for emotional distress, loss of enjoyment, and pain and suffering as the result of a truck accident.
We know that a car accident or truck crash can create a serious toll on victims and their families. Our priority is making sure that you have what you need to get through this difficult time. An experienced truck accident attorney at Boohoff Law will work to ensure that your injuries and losses are thoroughly accounted for.
Truck accidents are serious.
In 2020, truck crashes made up 9% of the vehicles involved in fatal auto accidents. However, these accidents tend to be much more dangerous for occupants of other vehicles than for truck drivers.
If you or a loved one were injured (or worse) in a trucking accident, the consequences can be devastating. We understand your position. This wasn’t your fault, and you don’t have to navigate it alone.
Liability in Trucking Accidents
Determining liability in a commercial trucking accident can be especially complicated. Commercial trucks might be insured through a company. However, some truck drivers are independent contractors who rely on private insurance. Accidents involving commercial trucks from a trucking company often present unique challenges. However, our commercial truck accident lawyers are up to the task. Whatever the circumstances of your case, we’ll work to identify all liable parties and determine all potential sources of insurance coverage.
Your truck accident lawyer will listen to understand the full picture and then take on each defendant and their attorney, as well as the insurance company and their attorney, which might include:
- The truck driver
- The trucking company
- The truck owner
- The dispatcher
- The truck manufacturer
- The trailer manufacturer
Our experienced truck accident attorneys know that several liable parties and risk factors can go into a commercial motor vehicle crash. We have the resources to investigate even the most complicated of truck accident cases and can help you navigate the process while protecting your legal rights.

What are the Most Common Types of Truck Accidents?
Much like car accidents, there are a variety of ways in which an accident involving a truck driver can take place. Some of the most common factors involved in truck accidents are speeding, drunk driving, mechanical failure, and cargo overload.
Accidents involving passenger cars can be catastrophic due to the large size of commercial trucks and tractor-trailers.
Can I Afford a Truck Accident Lawyer?
Many victims of truck accidents worry that they can’t afford the lawyer’s fees necessary to take legal action. Our truck accident lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning that their fees will be deducted only after your case reaches a settlement or verdict. We’ll pursue your truck accident case with the goal of getting you as much settlement value as possible, factoring in these deductions.
How Long Do Most Trucking Accident Claims Take to Settle?
The timeline of your truck accident claim will depend on factors such as the number of liable parties and how willing they are to reach a settlement agreement. Truck accident lawsuits are sometimes necessary if an out-of-court settlement cannot be reached. Our lawyers are prepared to litigate for you, if necessary, and will keep you informed every step of the way of what you can expect as your claim develops.
Can You Sue a Trucking Company for an Accident?
Some truck drivers work for and are insured by a trucking company, while others operate as independent contractors. Your lawyer will analyze your case to better understand the degree of responsibility and liability of each party and what potential insurance coverage options exist. Our semi-truck accident lawyers are experienced in all kinds of personal injury claims, including commercial truck accidents, and know what questions to ask and who needs to be involved to get positive results.
