Truck crashes are among the most catastrophic accidents on the road. The size and weight of commercial vehicles make collisions especially devastating — often resulting in severe injuries, long recoveries, or even loss of life. At Wolfe Trial Lawyers, we fight for victims and families who have been hurt by careless truck drivers, negligent trucking companies, and unsafe industry practices.
Attorney Brandon Wolfe has dedicated his career to protecting people, not corporations. He knows that trucking companies and their insurers move fast after a crash — sending lawyers and investigators to limit their liability before victims even know what happened. Our firm moves faster. We secure evidence, interview witnesses, and stand up for your rights from day one.
Common Causes of Truck Accidents
Many truck crashes could be prevented if companies and drivers followed the rules. Wolfe Trial Lawyers investigates the real cause of your crash and identifies every party responsible. Common causes include:
- Driver fatigue from violating federal rest requirements
- Distracted driving or cell phone use behind the wheel
- Speeding or reckless driving to meet delivery deadlines
- Improper loading or overweight cargo
- Poor truck maintenance or defective parts
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Negligent hiring or training by trucking companies
Each of these factors can point to different sources of liability — not just the truck driver, but also the company, contractor, or manufacturer. Our team makes sure no one escapes accountability.
The Complexity of Truck Accident Claims
Truck accident cases are very different from regular car crashes. They often involve multiple insurance policies, federal safety regulations, and corporate defendants who will do anything to protect their bottom line.
At Wolfe Trial Lawyers, we understand the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR) that govern truck operations. We know how to obtain crucial evidence like driver logs, black box data, inspection records, and dispatch communications — materials that can prove violations of safety laws and negligence.
Our firm’s experience with both Illinois and Michigan transportation laws allows us to pursue your claim in the most effective way possible, whether through settlement or trial.
Compensation Available After a Truck Crash
Truck accident victims are entitled to compensation for both economic and non-economic losses. Depending on your case, you may recover damages for:
- Medical bills and future treatment costs
- Lost wages and loss of future earning capacity
- Pain and suffering for physical and emotional harm
- Property damage to your vehicle
- Loss of consortium for affected family relationships
- Wrongful death damages for grieving families
Because truck accidents often cause catastrophic injuries such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal damage, amputations, and burns, full compensation is essential for rebuilding your life.
