Commercial Trucking Accident

Commercial trucking accidents happen every day on America’s roadways, with close to 6,000 people losing their lives in a single year in crashes involving medium and heavy duty trucks.

Truck crashes are especially likely to be deadly, or to cause serious and permanent injuries, because of the large size of commercial trucks compared with passenger cars. That’s why it’s so important for crash victims to have an advocate they can trust.

At Canopy Legal Partners, our caring and compassionate truck accident lawyers have decades of collective experience fighting for the rights of truck crash victims. Our mission is to help you get the justice you deserve so you can rebuild your life after a trucking accident has caused you harm or left you without a loved one.

Your Rights After a Commercial Trucking Accident

In the United States, most states follow fault-based rules for traffic accidents, meaning crash victims can pursue compensation when a negligent truck driver causes them harm. Many jurisdictions also recognize the principle of vicarious liability.

Vicarious liability rules often make it possible to pursue a claim against multiple parties with large insurance policies. This helps to ensure you get the money you deserve. The goal in every truck accident claim is to maximize your compensation and get you paid for your:

• Medical bills
• Lost wages
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress

Canopy Legal Partners will help you to negotiate a fair settlement to cover these damages, or can assist you in litigating your case to get the full amount of compensation available under the law.

How a Truck Accident Lawyer Can Help You

Truck accident lawyers provide invaluable services in the aftermath of your accident. Our legal team can:

• Help you to gather evidence, including black box data or data from the truck’s onboard recording devices that shows the cause of the accident. 
• Interview witnesses to uncover the cause of the crash and help you make a strong claim
• Find experts to testify on your behalf about the cause of the truck crash
• Assist in demonstrating the full extent of your harm so you can be fairly compensated for both economic and non-financial losses
• Determine if Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations were violated, which can create the presumption of negligence to help you win your case

These are just some of the many services our firm offers. Navigating the legal system is complicated and you don’t want to make mistakes that could cost you the chance at getting full compensation. We’ll work hard to make sure that doesn’t happen and to help ensure your pursuit of justice is a success.
