Minnesota Commercial Truck Accident Lawyers
Commercial truck accidents — involving semi-trucks, 18-wheelers, tankers, and delivery vehicles — cause catastrophic injuries due to the massive size difference between trucks and passenger vehicles. Law Hogs has the resources and experience to take on large trucking companies and their insurers.
Why Truck Accident Cases Are Different
Crashes involving semi-trucks and 18-wheelers are far more complex than ordinary car accidents. The injuries are typically catastrophic, multiple parties may share liability, and the trucking company’s insurer often sends investigators to the scene within hours. These cases are governed by federal regulations in addition to Minnesota law, and they demand fast, experienced action to preserve critical evidence.
Who May Be Liable
- The truck driver
- The trucking company (for negligent hiring, training, or scheduling)
- The cargo loader, if improper loading caused the crash
- The truck or parts manufacturer, for defective equipment
- Maintenance contractors responsible for the vehicle
Critical Evidence We Move Fast to Preserve
- The truck’s electronic logging device (ELD) and black box data
- Driver hours-of-service logs
- Maintenance and inspection records
- Dashcam and surveillance footage
- Cargo and weight documentation
Federal Trucking Regulations
Commercial trucks must comply with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) rules covering driver hours, vehicle maintenance, weight limits, and driver qualifications. Violations of these rules can be powerful evidence of negligence. We know how to find them and use them.
Compensation You May Recover
- Past and future medical expenses
- Lost wages and lost earning capacity
- Pain, suffering, and permanent disability
- Property damage
- Wrongful death damages for surviving family
