Injured in a Truck Accident in Tacoma?
A collision with a commercial truck can be devastating. These large vehicles weigh 20 to 30 times more than a passenger car and can cause severe injuries in seconds.
If you or someone you love was injured in a crash involving a semi-truck, box truck, delivery vehicle, or tractor-trailer in the Tacoma area, Morgan Hill PC is prepared to help. We serve individuals and families throughout Pierce County who have been seriously hurt in truck accidents.
We understand the significant stakes involved and know how to hold trucking companies accountable.
How Truck Accidents Are Different
Truck accidents are more complicated than regular car crashes. Here’s why:
- Multiple liable parties; the driver, trucking company, maintenance provider, or shipper could all be responsible.
- Federal and state regulations; truck drivers and companies must follow strict safety rules set by the FMCSA.
- More serious injuries are due to the size and weight of commercial trucks.
- Stronger legal defense; trucking companies often have legal teams on standby to minimize their liability.
Our attorneys have expertise with these complexities and know how to preserve evidence, subpoena driver logs, and establish fault when the other side refuses to cooperate.
Common Causes of Truck Crashes
Truck accidents in and around Tacoma are frequently caused by:
- Driver fatigue (violating hours-of-service rules)
- Distracted driving or cellphone use
- Speeding or unsafe lane changes
- Overloaded or improperly secured cargo
- Poor truck maintenance or mechanical failures
- Driving under the influence
We’ll investigate the cause and help identify exactly who is responsible for your injuries.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
If a negligent truck driver or company caused your injuries, you could be eligible to receive compensation for:
- Medical expenses and rehabilitation
- Future treatment and care
- Lost income and earning potential
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Property damage
- Wrongful death (if you lost a loved one in the crash)
We can help you evaluate the full value of your case and ensure the insurance company doesn’t undervalue you.
