Evidence disappears FAST in truck cases. Electronic logs get overwritten. Black box data erased. Trucking companies send lawyers immediately. You should too.

When an 80,000-pound truck hits you, injuries are catastrophic. But trucking companies carry massive insurance—$1 million minimum, often much more. I know how to access it all.
Why Truck Cases Require Specialized Knowledge:
- Federal FMCSA regulations create liability regular car cases don't have

Virginia's Contributory Negligence Applies to Truck Cases
Trucking companies will try to blame you for anything—speeding, following too close, improper lane change.
Why Truck Cases Require Different Expertise
These aren't regular car accidents. Federal regulations, multiple defendants, and complex evidence.
Federal FMCSA Regulations
Hours of service limits, logbook requirements, inspection rules, drug testing—violations create automatic liability.
Multiple Liable Parties
Driver, trucking company, shipper, freight broker, maintenance company, manufacturer. I pursue ALL responsible parties.
Electronic Evidence
ELDs, black boxes, GPS data, dashcams. This evidence gets overwritten in days. I send preservation letters immediately.
Vicarious Liability
Trucking companies are liable for their drivers' actions. Independent contractor status doesn't always shield them.
Cargo & Loading
Improperly loaded cargo causes jackknifes and rollovers. Shippers and loaders may be liable.
Corporate Defendants
Trucking companies have legal teams on retainer. You need aggressive representation to match them.
