You see commercial trucks just about anywhere you drive. And while most of those drivers are cautious and safe, accidents still happen.
Unfortunately, when these accidents occur, they are often severe and even deadly. A totaled vehicle is usually the best scenario.
Most victims of 18-wheeler accidents suffer severe injuries and even death. If you do survive, your injuries can take years to recover, changing your life forever.

Get your life back on track by scheduling your free consultation with Grant & Flanery today.
During your consultation, you’ll discuss the accident with one of our truck wreck lawyers who will determine the best way to proceed.
Your personal injury lawyer will start working on your case by gathering evidence, investigating the crash site, and getting the necessary information from the insurance company.
After gathering the evidence, they will present your medical bills and other expenses along with the evidence to the insurance and trucking companies. They will negotiate what will be paid.
In most cases, a settlement will be negotiated out of court. The insurance company will pay the settlement amount to cover the expenses involved.
If your lawyer does recommend you take your case to trial, you will likely go before a judge and jury to determine the final awarded amount.
The fallout of accidents involving commercial trucks is often dire for the individuals in the passenger vehicle. When a large, heavy vehicle is involved, even minor accidents can have severe consequences.
18-wheeler accidents are more complicated than other types of accidents. This is because there can be multiple parties involved in the accident, even if they’re not present. That makes negotiations more difficult.
That’s where Grant & Flanery come in. We negotiate with all parties involved and work to determine negligence and figure out how your compensation should be awarded.
Driving recklessly can include ignoring the rules of the road or driving aggressively.
And while impaired driving typically involves driving under the influence, commercial drivers can also be impaired by lack of sleep.
It is the responsibility of the truck driver and the trucking company to properly secure their load. If it’s not secure and causes an accident, the driver or trucking company is likely held liable.
Truck drivers are also responsible for maintaining their vehicles to ensure they’re safe to drive. Accidents caused by vehicle failure may hold the driver responsible for the accident.
Trucking companies can also be held responsible for accidents if they hire unqualified drivers or encourage their drivers to break laws, such as driving while impaired due to lack of sleep.
Establishing responsibility through negligence is the key to your personal injury case. Grant & Flanery dig into the details of your accident to put your case on a solid foundation.
If your accident only involved property damage and no one was injured, it’s unlikely you’ll need a personal injury lawyer. However, you can still consult with one to give you peace of mind.
If someone experienced an injury, even a minor one, it’s best to consult with a lawyer. They can help determine negligence and walk you through the process.
You won’t pay anything out-of-pocket when you hire a personal injury attorney. They work on a contingency basis, so their fees are taken from the money awarded during settlement or trial.
If you don’t win your case, they don’t get paid.
Navigating the post-accident landscape can be complicated. That’s where your personal injury lawyer comes in. They can represent your interests in an injury claim by:
Usually, the earlier, the better. By involving them from the beginning, they can handle communication between the trucking and insurance companies.
This saves you time, protects the details of your case, and gives you peace of mind.
