Truck & Commercial Vehicle Accidents

When an 80,000-pound truck causes the crash, the case is different.

Trucking cases involve federal safety regulations, corporate defendants, layered insurance policies — and defense teams that are often on the scene before the wreckage is cleared. The sooner we start, the more evidence survives.

What you can recover

  • Catastrophic-injury medical care, now and for life
  • Lost income and lost earning capacity
  • Home and vehicle modifications for lasting disabilities
  • Pain, suffering, and loss of consortium
  • Wrongful death damages for families who lost someone

How JAR fights it

We immediately send preservation letters locking down the truck's electronic control module, driver logs, inspection records, and dispatch communications — the evidence that shows hours-of-service violations, skipped maintenance, or negligent hiring.

Then we pursue every responsible party: the driver, the motor carrier, the broker, the shipper, the maintenance contractor. Trucking policies are large for a reason. Our job is to reach all of them.

Questions we hear

Straight answers

Why do truck cases settle for more than car cases?

Commercial carriers are required to carry far larger policies, injuries are typically more severe, and corporate defendants face regulatory exposure. But none of that value shows up without proving the violations.

The trucking company already called offering to ‘help.’

Decline politely and call us. Rapid-response teams exist to shape the record in the first 72 hours. Anything you say to them can be used to discount your claim.

What federal rules matter?

The FMCSA regulations — hours-of-service limits, drug and alcohol testing, maintenance and inspection duties, hiring standards. A violation is powerful evidence of negligence.
