Truck Wrecks

Louisville Truck Wreck Lawyers

A collision with a large truck is not just a car wreck; it is a catastrophic event. Given the massive disparity in size and weight, a passenger vehicle stands almost no chance. A fully loaded semi-truck can weigh up to 80,000 pounds, while an average passenger car weighs around 4,000 pounds. This profound difference means that in a crash, the smaller vehicle and its occupants absorb the full, devastating force of the impact, which can lead to severe, catastrophic, or fatal injuries.

At Moore Law Group, we understand the fear, the pain, and the overwhelming stress of truck wreck injuries for victims and their families. You are not just facing physical injuries; you are dealing with the emotional trauma and financial uncertainty that follow such a violent incident. Our firm is here to fight for and guide you through this difficult time.

Truck Wreck Assistance for Victims of Negligence

Moore Law Group has represented individuals who received injuries caused by trucks that have jackknifed, rolled over, or lost control due to excessive speeds. A car may even slide under the truck, leading to what is known as an underride wreck, which can shear off the top of the vehicle.

Cases we have handled have involved truck drivers’ negligence due to:

Falling asleep at the wheel
Cell phone use
Tailgating
Speeding

Our attorneys also have experience handling cases of negligent truck maintenance. These cases involve companies that fail to properly maintain their tractor-trailers, such as through worn-out tires, inadequate brakes, and burned-out lights.

The statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) tell a stark story:

In a recent year, over 5,000 people were killed in crashes involving large trucks.
70% of those killed were occupants of other vehicles, not the truck itself.
In two-vehicle fatal crashes, a shocking 97% of the fatalities were occupants of the passenger vehicle.

If you are the victim of a trucker’s negligence, either due to operation or maintenance, we can help. Our firm can immediately begin investigating your case. We have collision reconstructionists on call ready to inspect the scene, interview witnesses, and analyze the evidence, including crush damage, skid marks, and black boxes. The investigation must begin immediately to preserve evidence which can quickly be lost.

Why Legal Representation is Critical

Truck wreck cases are among the most complex in personal injury law. Your challenges go far beyond what you would encounter in a typical car wreck claim. Instead of just one driver, you may be up against a powerful trucking company, its team of lawyers, its insurance carrier, and potentially a cargo company or a truck manufacturer. These entities have vast resources and will aggressively fight to deny liability and minimize your compensation.

Their defense tactics are sophisticated and designed to protect a business worth billions. They can immediately dispatch a team to the crash scene to gather evidence, and try to settle your case quickly and for far less than it is worth. Without an attorney on your side, you are at a profound disadvantage.

What Moore Law Group Can Do in a Truck Wreck Claim

Our firm understands the complex trucking industry regulations, including federal and state laws on driver hours, vehicle maintenance, and cargo weight. We know what evidence to look for and where to find it.

We take immediate, time-sensitive action to secure your claim.

We go to the crash scene, document all evidence, and work with collision reconstruction experts to determine precisely what happened.
We act quickly to preserve evidence like the truck’s black box data, driver logbooks, maintenance records, and drug and alcohol test results. This data is essential for proving negligence and can be lost or destroyed if not secured immediately.
We handle all communications with the trucking company, insurers, and their lawyers so that you can focus on your recovery.
We work with medical professionals and life-care planners to accurately assess the full extent of your injuries and future needs to reflect the actual cost of your losses.

What Compensation Can We Pursue for You?

Given the catastrophic nature of these wrecks, the compensation available is often substantial.

Damages can include:

Medical expenses - Past and future costs of emergency care, hospital stays, surgeries, physical therapy, and long-term care.
Lost wages - All income you have lost or will lose due to your injuries.
Pain and suffering - Compensation for the physical pain, emotional distress, and loss of quality of life endured.
Property damage – Covers repairing or replacing your vehicle and any personal items lost in the wreck.
Wrongful death - If you have lost a loved one, we can file a wrongful death claim to seek justice and compensation.
Punitive damages - In cases of gross negligence, you may be able to seek punitive damages to punish the at-fault party and deter future wrongdoing.
