Hit by a Commercial Truck?
What Makes Truck Crashes Different?
Catastrophic Injuries & Loss
When a truck accident leaves you or a loved one with permanent injuries, the financial toll can be just as devastating as the physical one. We fight for compensation that covers a lifetime of care, lost income, and suffering.
Multiple Liable Parties
Unlike a typical car accident, a truck crash can involve a web of responsible parties, which can include the driver, the carrier, the cargo company, and beyond. We untangle that complexity so you don't have to.
Federal Regulations
The trucking industry is governed by federal regulations. When a company cuts corners by ignoring maintenance schedules, overloading cargo, or pushing drivers past legal limits, we hold them accountable.
Insurance Complexity
The insurance side of a truck accident is rarely straightforward. Between multiple carriers, overlapping policies, and insurers motivated to pay as little as possible, it's easy to feel outmatched. We level the playing field.
Big Trucking Protects Itself. We Protect You.
When a commercial truck causes a major accident, the trucking company’s insurance provider immediately dispatches a ‘Rapid Response Team’ to the incident. Their only goal is to control the narrative, preserve their bottom line, and clear the evidence They start this process before you even reach the hospital. They will quickly repair the truck to destroy physical evidence, and it’s not uncommon for driver logbooks to “vanish” soon after.
You should not fight a logistics corporation on your own. Briscoe Law acts instantly. We issue immediate spoliation letters forbidding any destruction of evidence. We secure the truck’s Electronic Control Module (ECM) data, pull the driver’s background and toxicology reports, and preserve dashcam footage. Doing this and other things allow us to build a case that proves exactly how their negligence changed your life forever.
No One Gets a Pass
We hold the driver personally accountable for negligence, including speeding, distracted driving, driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or falling asleep at the wheel to meet impossible delivery deadlines.
We could potentially sue the employer for negligent hiring, negligent training, failure to conduct required drug testing, cutting corners on vehicle maintenance, and pressuring drivers to illegally violate federal Hours of Service limits.
When a third-party company improperly loads or overloads a trailer, cargo can shift violently in transit. An overloaded trailer can also impact braking, steering, and tire wear.
When a crash stems from mechanical failure such as defective air brakes, blown tires, or a faulty steering mechanism, the parts manufacturer may also be liable.
