Truck Accidents FAQ's

Indiana trucking accident attorney Tony Zirkle represents plaintiffs in severe personal injury and wrongful death cases involving the following situations:

  • Collisions caused by driver negligence while operating an 18 wheeler or other big rig in interstate commerce
  • Accidents caused by truck driver fatigue
  • Improper loading or securing of loads, including overweight and oversize violations
  • Violations of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations with respect to vehicle inspections or maintenance
  • Commercial vehicle accidents involving construction equipment, delivery or courier vehicles, buses, limos, or moving vans
  • Inadequate background screening, drug testing, or training of truck drivers

Trucking accidents are not simply large-scale versions of auto accidents. The injuries are more severe, the regulations are more restrictive, the insurance is more complex, and the physical and technical aspects of the crash are completely different from those characteristic of smaller, less powerful vehicles. We work closely with forensic experts to show how and why your accident occurred. We also work with medical and rehabilitation experts to identify and project as specifically as possible your need for long-term medical treatment, physical therapy, and home assistance in the most extreme injury cases.

The sheer mass of a semi tractor trailer combination means that many trucking accidents will result in severe and disabling injuries, such as severe traumatic brain injury or paralysis resulting from spinal cord damage. We will make sure that all potential defendants are identified and held to account so that the full extent of your damages can be recovered and collected.

For additional information about our ability to help you recover for your losses in a motor vehicle crash involving trucks or commercial vehicles, contact the Law Offices of Tony Zirkle for a free consultation in Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, South Bend, or Crown Point.
