Experience of a Truck Accident Lawyer

There is simply no substitute for relevant experience. At Caruso Law Offices, P.C., we have over 40 years of experience in personal injury law. We also have extensive experience handling truck accident cases, making us uniquely equipped to handle this type of case.

Truck accident cases involve factors that are different from car accident cases, including:

  • State and federal regulations
  • Multiple parties responsible for accidents
  • Commercial insurance carriers

Our personal injury attorneys also have extensive trial experience. Truck companies, insurance carriers, and corporate lawyers fight aggressively to prevent payouts to accident victims. You need a lawyer on your side who will help level the playing field and not be afraid to go all the way with your case.

Truck Accident Attorney Knowledge

Our lawyers have an in-depth knowledge of trucking laws and regulations. We can carefully investigate your case to determine if the truck driver or trucking company violated any relevant regulations that contributed to the accident, such as:

  • Hours-of-service rules
  • Weight limits
  • Background checks and training requirements
  • Licensing requirements
  • Drug and alcohol testing
  • Maintenance requirements
  • Loading requirements
  • Electronic logging device requirements

Our experienced attorneys know how to gather and analyze critical evidence to support your personal injury claim.

A Track Record of Success

Look for a personal injury law firm that is backed by a successful track record. For example, Caruso Law Offices has recovered over $1 billion for our clients. Insurance companies and defense lawyers know this history, often allowing us to negotiate from a position of strength and negotiate a favorable settlement without having to go to court. But, if litigation is necessary, we’re not afraid to go that route either.
