On the highways of Western New York — from the Thruway to rural routes — trucking accidents can cause catastrophic damage. When large commercial trucks collide with smaller vehicles or workers near roadways, the injuries and consequences are often severe. If you or a loved one has been harmed in a truck-involved crash, you may face complex legal issues — multiple defendants, federal regulations, serious injuries and high medical costs. At [Your Firm Name], we’re ready to take on the big truck companies so you don’t have to.

Why Trucking Accidents Are More Complex Than Typical Car Crashes

Commercial trucks are regulated by federal agencies like the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and subject to rules on hours of service, maintenance, driver qualifications, and more. Violations can directly affect liability.

• Multiple parties may be responsible: truck driver, trucking company, cargo loader, maintenance provider, parts manufacturer.
• Data recorders (“black boxes”), vehicle logs, and driver-monitoring systems often play a key role.
• Injuries from truck crashes are often catastrophic: traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputations, burn injuries, multiple broken bones.

Common Causes of Truck Accidents in Our Region

• Driver fatigue or violating hours-of-service rules.
• Inadequate maintenance of the truck, brakes, tires or cargo securing.
• Improper loading of cargo leading to rollover or shift.
• Speeding or sudden braking on highways.
• Poor visibility or fatigue at night in rural Western New York roads.
• Intersection collisions or underride incidents (smaller vehicles sliding under trucks).

What You Should Do After a Truck Accident

• Seek medical care immediately — even if injuries seem minor at first.
• Report the crash to law enforcement and obtain the police accident report.
• Preserve evidence — photos of the truck, driver’s name, license plate, cargo, skid marks, road conditions, nearby signage.
• Don’t speak to the trucking company’s lawyers or insurance adjusters without legal representation.
• Contact an experienced truck-accident attorney as soon as possible: trucking cases involve tight regulatory deadlines and rapidly changing evidence (e.g., logbooks, surveillance video, black-box data).
• Gather medical and wage-loss documentation — hospital bills, treatment records, rehabilitation, lost income, future care needs.
