Every year, thousands of people are seriously injured or killed in truck accidents caused by unsafe practices in the commercial trucking industry. These aren’t “accidents” — they’re preventable tragedies, often driven by companies that put profits ahead of safety.
At Wolfe Trial Lawyers, we fight for victims and families devastated by truck crashes. Attorney Brandon Wolfe built his firm to stand up for people who have been hurt by corporate carelessness and powerful insurance companies. We know how these companies operate — and we won’t let them get away with cutting corners at your expense.
Why Trucking Accidents Are So Dangerous
A fully loaded tractor-trailer can weigh up to 80,000 pounds — more than 20 times the weight of a passenger car. When something goes wrong, the results can be catastrophic. Common injuries include traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, amputations, and wrongful deaths.
Truck accident victims often face long recoveries, permanent disabilities, and massive medical expenses. Wolfe Trial Lawyers is here to make sure you’re not left to bear those burdens alone.
Negligence That Leads to Truck Crashes
Most truck crashes can be traced back to preventable errors. Wolfe Trial Lawyers digs deep to find the cause and identify every responsible party. Frequent causes include:
- Overworked and fatigued drivers pressured to meet delivery quotas
- Distracted driving or failure to follow traffic laws
- Unsafe speeds and aggressive driving on highways
- Improperly loaded trailers or unbalanced cargo
- Negligent maintenance leading to tire blowouts or brake failure
- Lack of driver training or supervision
- Corporate negligence from unsafe company policies
When a trucking company’s negligence leads to disaster, we pursue justice on behalf of every victim — from the driver who followed the rules to the families left behind.
Holding Trucking Companies Accountable
Trucking companies often act quickly after a crash — sending investigators to the scene, repairing or destroying vehicles, and collecting data to build their defense. That’s why it’s critical to contact Wolfe Trial Lawyers right away.
We move fast to preserve vital evidence like:
- Electronic logging device (ELD) and black box data
- Driver qualification files and employment records
- Maintenance and inspection reports
- Company safety policies and dispatch communications
- Accident scene photos and witness statements
This information allows us to uncover violations of Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR) and state laws — proving exactly how negligence occurred and who’s responsible.
Compensation You Deserve After a Truck Accident
A serious truck crash can affect every part of your life. Wolfe Trial Lawyers fights for maximum compensation to cover both financial and personal losses, including:
- Medical costs and long-term care needs
- Lost wages and future earning potential
- Pain, suffering, and emotional trauma
- Property damage and vehicle replacement
- Loss of consortium or companionship
- Wrongful death damages for families who’ve lost loved ones
We work with medical experts, economists, and life-care planners to make sure your recovery reflects the true cost of your injury — not what the insurance company thinks you deserve.
