Why Truck Cases Are Different

Trucking Companies Have Legal Teams. You Need One Too.

Truck accident cases are fundamentally different from car accidents. The vehicles are heavier, the injuries are worse, the insurance policies are larger, and the defendants have more resources. Trucking companies deploy rapid response teams to the scene, sometimes before the ambulance arrives, to protect their interests — not yours.

Joseph Gallo understands federal trucking regulations, hours-of-service violations, black box data, and the complex web of liability involving drivers, carriers, brokers, and vehicle manufacturers. He moves fast to preserve critical evidence before it disappears.

Trucking companies send investigators to the scene within hours. You need an attorney who moves just as fast.

Truck Accident FAQ

Who is liable in a truck accident?
Liability can extend beyond the driver to include the trucking company, the freight broker, the maintenance provider, and even the truck or parts manufacturer. Joseph investigates every potential source of liability.
Why are truck accident settlements higher than car accident settlements?
Truck accidents typically cause more severe injuries due to the size and weight of commercial vehicles. Additionally, trucking companies carry much larger insurance policies, often $1 million or more.
What evidence is critical in a truck accident case?
Black box data, driver logs, drug and alcohol test results, maintenance records, and the trucking company's safety history are all critical. This evidence can disappear quickly, which is why you need an attorney who acts fast.
