Truck accidents can often lead to even bigger, more serious damage & injuries than car accidents. Unfortunately, there are about 190,000 truck accidents each year in the US. TopDog Law has a nationwide network of attorneys who handle truck accident. They understand how these vehicles operate and the unique laws that apply to a trucking accident.
If you or a loved one has experienced damages, injuries, or death due to a trucking accident, our network of truck accident attorneys is ready to fight to get you the compensation and justice you deserve.
Given the immense size and weight of a truck, even a slow-speed collision can result in serious injuries, some of which may not become evident until days or even weeks later. Common injuries such as back strains or internal bruising can, over time, develop into debilitating conditions that affect an individual’s ability to live a normal life.
More severe injuries from truck accidents frequently include traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and spinal cord injuries (SCI). These types of injuries can significantly and permanently alter a victim’s quality of life. A TBI can be particularly insidious, with symptoms sometimes not appearing until well after the accident. Similarly, an SCI might not manifest immediately but can result in permanent paralysis when it does.
No matter the extent of your injuries following a truck crash, it is your right to seek full and fair compensation when someone else’s negligence is at play. An experienced truck accident lawyer from TopDog Law’s legal network can work tirelessly to ensure your truck accident claim is accurately evaluated.
The lawyers we work with put the time and effort into investigating the accident scene, the circumstances, and your injuries to get the best possible results in your claim. They’ll strive to ensure your compensation encompasses not only your medical bills and expenses but also all ancillary damages stemming from the accident, providing you with the financial support necessary to navigate through these challenging times.
Most trucking accidents can be traced to negligence. However, there may be potentially more than one liable party involved in your truck accident claim. At TopDog Law, the attorneys in our network know how to get to the bottom of your accident and will work to make sure that you receive the compensation you’re due from all liable parties.

The trucking industry is characterized by long hours on the road and demanding delivery schedules. As a result, driver fatigue is a common cause of accidents, especially when truck drivers disregard regulations on rest periods. Fatigued drivers may suffer from decreased attention, slower reaction times, and, in worst cases, could fall asleep at the wheel, leading to catastrophic truck crashes.
Much like car drivers, truck operators can be distracted by a variety of factors — mobile devices, food, GPS systems, or even just daydreaming. Given the size and weight of a truck, the consequences of a momentary distraction can be significantly more devastating than with other vehicles.
This could include alcohol or drug use, whether recreational or prescription, both of which can severely impair driving abilities. Substance use can affect judgment, motor control, and reaction time — all critical elements when controlling a massive vehicle like a truck.
Establishing liability in a commercial truck accident case can be more complicated than in a car accident. While the truck driver might be an obvious candidate, there are other parties who may also share liability. These can include the trucking company (for negligence in hiring or training drivers or improper loading), maintenance providers, and even manufacturers of truck parts (if a defect contributed to the accident).
Your attorney will work to uncover all potential sources of liability and secure the maximum compensation for you. This might include not only medical expenses, but also loss of income, pain and suffering, and other damages related to the accident. Remember, every case is unique, and the process can vary based on a number of factors. An experienced truck accident lawyer can help you navigate this process and advocate for your best interests.
More serious truck accident injuries that often occur following a trucking accident are brain injuries and spinal cord injuries. A traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs following a truck accident far more frequently than most people realize. The same is true for a spinal cord injury (SCI). Importantly, the symptoms of these more serious injuries may take weeks to set in following a car accident.
Regardless of what kind of injuries you sustained in a truck accident, you deserve full and fair compensation when someone else’s negligence is involved. An experienced truck accident attorney can help make sure that your truck accident claim is valued accurately and that your compensation includes not only the cost of your medical bills and expenses but also all additional damages associated with the crash.
Whether your compensation comes from a settlement from the insurance company or from a verdict awarded in court, the personal injury lawyers in TopDog Law’s network will do everything in their power to hold negligent truckers and trucking companies accountable for the damages they’ve brought you.
Physical and emotional trauma encapsulates the bodily injuries and psychological distress that an individual suffers due to a truck accident. The damages can encompass immediate pain, long-term physical discomfort, permanent disability, or disfigurement. Emotional trauma might include anxiety, depression, or even post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Quantifying these damages often requires input from medical and psychological experts.
Loss of companionship, or loss of consortium, pertains to the deprivation of familial benefits resulting from injuries sustained in a truck accident. For instance, if injuries prevent an individual from offering emotional support, companionship, or marital benefits to their spouse, or parental care to their children, they may be entitled to compensation for loss of companionship. Loss of companionship or consortium may also be included in an accident involving wrongful death.
In the aftermath of a truck accident, injuries may prohibit an individual from returning to work, either temporarily or permanently. This can justify a claim for lost income. Moreover, if these injuries restrict one's capacity to maintain future employment or limit their career growth, they could seek compensation for loss of future earning potential. The aim of these compensations is to financially stabilize the individual, putting them in a position similar to what they would have been in if the accident hadn't occurred.
Medical expenses make up a significant portion of the damages claimed in a truck accident lawsuit. This category includes the cost of emergency medical care, hospitalization, surgical procedures, medication, physical therapy, and any necessary medical equipment, such as wheelchairs or prosthetics. Additionally, if ongoing or future medical care is required, these projected costs can also be included in the claim.
Given the size and weight of commercial trucks, accidents can cause significant damage to personal property. This can include the cost of repairing or replacing your vehicle, as well as damage to any personal belongings that were in the vehicle at the time of the accident. These costs can be included in your claim for compensation.
The short answer is nothing. Our network of truck accident attorneys work on a contingency basis, meaning they do not get paid unless you get paid. They also cover all the up-front costs for expenses like experts who we will use to testify on your behalf. Therefore, they have every incentive to ensure that they win and get you the most compensation possible for your injury.
