Car accidents are scary, and they are especially scary when a truck or commercial vehicle is involved. These types of accidents typically involve more than one vehicle and result in serious injury.
You should never try to recover compensation from a truck or commercial vehicle accident alone, and you should never try to fight off injustice without the right legal team at your side.

The answer is clear and simple – Yes, you need a truck accident lawyer if you want the best possible resolution of your accident claim. A lawyer has the knowledge, experience, and skills needed to fight injustice and recover full and fair financial compensation for you.
Truck accidents result in significant compensation. Trucking companies and their insurance carriers know large amounts of money are at stake, and you can assume that they already have a legal team working to deny the serious injuries that they caused. This is unfair and unjust; however, we see it happen all the time.
To ensure trucking companies are held responsible for their mistakes, we highly recommend that you contact a lawyer as soon as possible after an accident. The sooner you contact a lawyer, the sooner they can work to gather evidence, prove the responsible party was liable, and recover compensation for you.
We put trust in truck drivers and trucking companies to drive responsibly, maintain protocol, follow regulations, and do everything in their power to avoid accidents. Unfortunately, truck drivers and trucking companies do not always act as they are required to, which can result in serious consequences.
The following are common causes of truck accidents that could have easily been avoided:
Whatever the reason for your accident may be, even if it is not on this list, it is critical that you contact a lawyer as soon as possible after your accident. A lawyer will be able to help you gather the evidence needed to show who is liable for the accident and to make the responsible party provide compensation for your injuries.
Lawyers have been trained to gather evidence and determine which party is at fault.
There are multiple evidentiary elements that a lawyer can use to prove liability after a truck accident, including but not limited to:
Black boxes are event data recorders (EDRs) on trucks that document their movement and record certain information over time. Trucking companies know that black boxes can be used against them, and therefore they will likely try to destroy them after an accident. That is why it is critical to contact a lawyer immediately. A lawyer can obtain a black box by sending a preservation-of-evidence letter to the trucking company.
Trucking companies hold a responsibility to follow federal Hours of Service (HOS) Regulations. These regulations ensure that drivers are not being overworked and provide requirements on driving lengths and rest times. If a trucking company violates Federal HOS regulations, they should be liable for the damages that they caused.
Dashboard cameras are cameras that are mounted to truck dashboards. These cameras were made to influence drivers into proper driving behavior, as it can be easy to identify the responsible party from this device.
If the accident occurred anywhere near a surveillance camera from any storefront, highway camera, or even if a casual observer managed to obtain footage of the accident on video, these could be gathered and used to determine the cause of the accident and which party was at fault.
We highly recommend contacting a lawyer as soon as possible if you are a victim of a truck accident. A lawyer knows how to gather the evidence needed to prove liability on the responsible party. Do not hesitate to contact a lawyer. The sooner you call a lawyer, the sooner they can get to work.
Due to the size and weight of trucks and commercial vehicles, they often cause serious injury when they are involved in accidents. Injuries from these types of accidents can include, but are not limited to:
Unfortunately, the injuries go beyond this list and are sometimes long-term or even permanent. Whatever the injury may be, hiring an experienced legal team is your smartest move.
If you have been involved in a truck accident, you are likely stressed and severely injured. You should be focusing on resting and recovering rather than fighting with trucking and insurance companies. A lawyer should be the one that is fighting on your behalf. Let a lawyer do all the hard work for you, just as they are trained to do.
The compensation owed to you depends on the severity of the damages caused by the accident. You may be entitled to significant compensation if the accident resulted in serious, sustained injury or time off work.
Insurance companies will try to pay you less than what your claim is worth, and this happens more often than you would think. Do not let insurance companies fool you: they do not work in your best interest, and they will do anything they can to get out of paying you money that you rightfully deserve.
It is critical to have an experienced legal team at your side. The lawyers at OnderLaw will fight aggressively to get you the maximum compensation warranted for your losses.
If you have been severely injured in a truck accident, you may be entitled to compensation for the following:
Truck and commercial vehicle accidents cause financial damage, physical damage, and emotional damage. In some situations, these damages have a permanent impact.
Do not settle for anything less than what you rightfully deserve. You are likely suffering from emotional and physical pain. The last thing you should be doing is fighting with companies that don’t want to compensate you for their mistakes. Therefore, we highly recommend that you hire an experienced legal team to fight on your behalf.
