According to the National Highway Safety Bureau, "Death and injury from traffic crashes continue to be among the most serious public health problems facing our county."
At Bailey & Galyen our attorneys know first-hand the devastation motor vehicle accidents, and especially truck accidents, leave in their wake. Due to the difference in size and weight between a large commercial truck and a passenger car, a collision between the two usually results in catastrophic injury or death to the passengers of the car.
Our law firm has substantial experience successfully representing victims who were seriously injured in accidents involving semi trucks and tractor trailer rigs. Truck accident litigation can involve numerous parties and an army of defense lawyers hired by the trucking company to deflect blame and liability for the accident. We have the resources to investigate truck accidents to determine who was at fault, as well as the negotiation and courtroom skills to fully portray the devastating consequences of a serious injury - both for our client and his or her family.

A traffic accident involving a large commercial truck, such as an 18-wheeler or semi truck, can have disastrous consequences. A typical fully loaded large commercial truck can weigh over 80,000 pounds, while an average passenger automobile weighs approximately 3,000 pounds. Because of the sheer size of trucks, any collision between a commercial truck and another vehicle is likely to result in serious, even fatal, injuries.
If you or a loved one has been involved in an accident with a commercial truck, you may be entitled to recover compensation for your injuries by bringing a legal claim against the responsible parties. An experienced attorney can help determine whether you have a claim.
Q: What is a "commercial truck"?
A: A commercial truck is a vehicle used in the course of business and/or for the transport of commercial goods. Examples are 18-wheelers, tractor trailers, tanker trucks, dump trucks, delivery vehicles, semi trucks and other large freight trucks.
Q: How are traffic accidents involving trucks different from accidents involving passenger cars?
A: Accidents involving trucks are typically more catastrophic than accidents involving cars due to the sheer size of a truck. A typical fully loaded large commercial truck can weigh 80,000 pounds or more, while an average passenger automobile weighs approximately 3,000 pounds. Due to this size disparity, and the basic laws of physics, any collision between a commercial truck and another vehicle is likely to result in serious, even fatal, injuries.
