Truck Accidents

Truck Accident Attorney

Truck accidents can result in devastating injuries, property damage, and even fatalities due to the sheer size and weight of commercial trucks. If you or a loved one has been involved in a truck accident, Kearney Law, led by Brittany Kearney, Esq., is dedicated to helping you navigate the legal process and secure the compensation you deserve.

Common Causes of Truck Accidents

Truck accidents can happen for a variety of reasons, including:

  • Driver Fatigue – Long hours on the road can lead to exhaustion, reducing a truck driver’s reaction time and awareness.
  • Distracted Driving – Using mobile devices, eating, or other distractions can cause truck drivers to lose focus.
  • Speeding and Reckless Driving – Large trucks require longer stopping distances; speeding increases the risk of collisions.
  • Mechanical Failures – Poorly maintained brakes, tires, or steering components can lead to accidents.
  • Overloaded or Improperly Loaded Cargo – Shifting cargo or exceeding weight limits can cause trucks to become unstable.
  • Driving Under the Influence – Alcohol or drug use can impair a truck driver’s ability to operate safely.
  • Weather Conditions – Rain, fog, ice, and other weather-related hazards can make driving dangerous.

At Kearney Law, we conduct in-depth investigations to determine the cause of the accident and who is responsible for the damages.

Who is Liable in a Truck Accident?

Truck accident cases often involve multiple parties, making it crucial to determine who is liable. Responsible parties may include:

  • Truck Drivers – If the driver was negligent, fatigued, or under the influence, they could be held accountable.
  • Trucking Companies – If the company failed to enforce regulations, properly train drivers, or maintain their vehicles, they could be liable.
  • Cargo Loaders – Improperly loaded cargo can cause accidents, making the loading company responsible.
  • Manufacturers – If a defective truck part contributed to the accident, the manufacturer may be held accountable.
  • Other Motorists – If another driver’s negligence contributed to the accident, they may share liability.

Kearney Law aggressively pursues claims against all responsible parties to ensure you receive maximum compensation.

Compensation for Truck Accident Victims

If you have been injured in a truck accident, you may be entitled to compensation for:
  • Medical expenses, including emergency care, surgeries, rehabilitation, and ongoing treatments.
  • Lost wages and future loss of earnings due to injuries.
  • Pain and suffering, including emotional distress.
  • Property damage, including vehicle repair or replacement.
  • Wrongful death compensation for families who have lost a loved one due to a truck accident.

Kearney Law fights tirelessly to help victims and their families obtain the compensation they need to recover.
