Truck Accidents

Our experienced truck accident attorneys aggressively pursue maximum compensation for victims of devastating commercial vehicle crashes. With proven results against trucking companies and their insurers, we handle the complex legal battle while you focus on healing from serious injuries.

When Truck Negligence Causes Devastation

Commercial truck accidents are among the most catastrophic road incidents, with tractor-trailers weighing up to 80,000 pounds—equivalent to 16 passenger vehicles. These massive vehicles have limited braking ability, poor maneuverability, and sometimes transport hazardous materials, creating devastation when crashes occur. Common causes include driver fatigue, improper loading, inadequate training, maintenance failures, and regulatory violations. SG Legal Group's specialized truck accident attorneys understand the complex federal regulations, insurance complications, and multiple liable parties involved in these cases, allowing us to pursue maximum compensation for your serious injuries.

The Dangers of Tractor-Trailers

Tractor-trailer crashes can be much more severe than car crashes. A tractor-trailer can weigh as much as 80,000 pounds which is equivalent to about 16 cars. Also, they lack good braking ability as well as maneuverability. On top of all of these hazards, tractor-trailers also sometimes transport dangerous or hazardous material that can be flammable or explosive. Some common causes of tractor-trailer crashes included improperly loaded cargo, improper driving, rear-ending, left turns, fatigue and drunk driving.
