Experience is Key in Trucking Cases
Every day, thousands of trucks travel our roads. Due to their size and weight, accidents involving these large vehicles can cause significant damage and severe injuries. According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, around 140,000 to 150,000 people are injured in commercial vehicle accidents each year in the U.S., many of whom face lifelong challenges.
At Beasley Allen, we recognize the trauma and challenges that follow trucking accidents. With decades of experience and over $32 billion in verdicts and settlements, our seasoned trial lawyers are committed to securing the best possible outcome for you. We take on large trucking firms and their insurance companies both in and out of the courtroom. Our thorough investigations uncover the crucial details needed to win your case and maximize your recovery.
Collisions involving semi-trucks can be particularly devastating. Hiring an experienced trucking accident attorney is one of the best decisions you can make in such situations. Trucking companies often have teams of lawyers to protect themselves from liability, so it’s essential to choose an attorney who understands the complexities of trucking accidents and is dedicated to protecting your interests.

Types of Truck Accidents
Truck accidents can be complex, but our experienced lawyers are here to help. Here are some common types of truck accidents:
- Rollovers: Occur when a truck loses control and rolls over due to tire blowouts, speeding on curves, overcorrection, or other driver errors.
- Jackknife Accidents: Happen when a truck skids and its trailer swings out at a 90-degree angle, resembling a folding pocketknife.
- Head-on Collisions: These occur when a truck veers into oncoming traffic, often due to driver fatigue, distraction, or medical issues, making a collision almost unavoidable.
- Rear-end Collisions: Occur when a truck driver fails to stop in time for slowed or stopped traffic.
- Blind Spot Collisions: Trucks have large blind spots, making it hard for drivers to see other vehicles.
- Lost or Shifting Freight: Improperly secured or loaded cargo can detach or shift suddenly, causing the driver to lose control or stop abruptly, leading to crashes.
- T-Bone Crashes: These happen when a truck runs a stop sign or red light and hits another vehicle on its side.
- Underride and Override Collisions: Among the deadliest, underrides occur when a smaller vehicle gets wedged under a truck, while overrides happen when a truck runs over a smaller vehicle from behind.
