Truck and Commercial Vehicle Collisions

Truck and Commercial Vehicle Collisions

High impact crashes require high level strategy

Truck and commercial vehicle accidents are not ordinary collision cases. They often involve severe injuries, multiple parties, and complex regulations. Carma Legal knows how to preserve evidence quickly, hold companies accountable, and build claims that withstand the tactics of well funded insurers and defense teams.

Why these cases are different

Federal and state regulations

Commercial drivers and trucking companies must follow strict safety rules. Hours of service, weight limits, maintenance logs, and drug testing requirements often become central evidence.

Multiple responsible parties

Liability may rest with the driver, the carrier, the shipper, a maintenance contractor, or a combination of them. We identify every potential defendant to maximize recovery.

Critical early evidence

Black box data, GPS records, driver qualification files, and dispatch instructions must be preserved immediately. Delay can mean lost proof.

Corporate defense teams

Trucking and logistics companies often send investigators to the scene within hours. We respond with equal urgency.

Our approach

Rapid investigation

We send preservation letters, secure electronic logging device data, obtain police and accident reconstruction reports, and gather witness statements.

Thorough liability analysis

We examine driver logs, maintenance records, weight tickets, and prior safety violations to prove negligence.

Medical and damages development

Truck crashes often cause catastrophic injuries. We coordinate with treating providers and experts to build life care plans and document long term costs.
