Experience is Key in Trucking Cases
Every day, thousands of trucks travel our roads. Due to their size and weight, accidents involving these large vehicles often result in catastrophic injuries, permanent disability, or wrongful death.
At Beasley Allen, we understand the trauma and uncertainty that follow a serious trucking accident. With decades of experience and more than $32 billion in verdicts and settlements, our seasoned trial lawyers are committed to securing the best possible outcome for you. We represent individuals and families harmed by negligent truck drivers, trucking companies, and commercial carriers, taking on powerful corporations and their insurers both in and out of the courtroom. Our thorough investigations uncover the critical details needed to build strong cases and maximize recovery
Collisions involving semi-trucks can be particularly devastating. If you or a loved one was injured in a commercial truck accident, you deserve experienced legal representation that understands the unique complexity of trucking litigation.

Why Truck Accident Cases Are Different
Truck accident cases are not ordinary car wreck claims. They involve:
- Federal trucking regulations
- Corporate defendants and layered insurance coverage
- Complex evidence such as electronic logging devices (ELDs), blackbox data, and GPS records
- Aggressive defense teams working immediately to limit liability
Trucking companies often begin building their defense within hours of a crash. That is why victims need lawyers who know how to act quickly, preserve evidence, and uncover violations that others miss.
Common Causes of Truck Accidents
Our trucking cases frequently involve one or more of the following:
- Driver fatigue due to hoursofservice violations
- Distracted driving, including phone use or incab technology
- Speeding or aggressive driving to meet delivery deadlines
- Improperly loaded or overloaded cargo
- Mechanical failures caused by poor maintenance or defective parts
- Inadequate driver training or supervision
- Negligent hiring or retention by trucking companies
Identifying every contributing factor is critical to maximizing recovery in a trucking case.
Types of Truck Accident Cases We Handle
We represent victims in all types of commercial vehicle crashes, including:
- Tractortrailer and 18wheeler accidents
- Delivery truck accidents (Amazon, FedEx, UPS, etc.)
- Dump truck and construction vehicle crashes
- Tanker truck accidents
- Logging truck accidents
- Multivehicle pileups involving commercial trucks
- Truckingrelated wrongful death cases
No two trucking cases are alike. Each requires a custom investigation strategy and a willingness to take the case to trial when necessary.
