The force of a commercial truck crash can cause injuries that require years of medical care, rehabilitation, home modifications, and support. Many people cannot return to the same work, and families often take on new roles as caregivers.
Building a catastrophic injury claim means documenting not only the crash and who caused it, but the long-term medical, financial, and personal effects. That often involves working with medical providers and other professionals to understand future needs.
What We Look For
01
Effects on memory, mood, concentration, and the ability to work.
02
Partial or complete paralysis and long-term care needs.
03
Loss of a limb and the prosthetics, therapy, and adjustments that follow.
04
Fires and fuel spills can cause burns that require multiple surgeries.
05
Complex breaks that may need surgery and lengthy rehabilitation.
06
Organ damage that may not be obvious right after the crash.
Who Is Responsible
Liability in a truck accident case can extend well beyond the driver.
Next Steps
01
Call 911 and get checked even if you feel fine. Some injuries, like brain and spinal injuries, show symptoms hours or days later, and medical records connect your injuries to the crash.
02
If it is safe, photograph the vehicles, the scene, the truck’s DOT number, and your injuries. Collect names and phone numbers of witnesses.
03
The trucking company’s insurer may call quickly. Avoid recorded statements and do not sign anything until you have talked with a lawyer.
04
We move to preserve driver logs, electronic data, and dash-cam footage before it is lost, and we handle the insurers so you can focus on your health.
