Truck & Commercial Vehicle Accidents
Collisions with 18-wheelers and commercial trucks cause catastrophic injuries. These cases involve multiple liable parties, federal regulations, and well-funded defense teams. You need an experienced attorney in your corner.
Why Truck Accident Cases Are Different
Trucking companies deploy accident response teams within hours of a crash — preserving evidence that helps them, destroying evidence that helps you. Federal motor carrier regulations, black box data, driver logs, and maintenance records all play a critical role. Charles B. Roberts has the experience and resources to go up against major trucking companies and their insurers.
Accountability
Who May Be Liable
The Truck Driver
Fatigue, distraction, impairment, or reckless driving by the operator.
The Trucking Company
Negligent hiring, inadequate training, pressure to violate hours-of-service rules.
The Cargo Loader
Improperly loaded or secured cargo that causes instability or shifting.
The Maintenance Company
Failure to properly inspect, maintain, or repair brakes, tires, and other critical systems.
The Truck Manufacturer
Defective parts or design flaws that contributed to the accident.
Investigation
Critical Evidence We Pursue
Black Box / ECM Data
Electronic control module data records speed, braking, and engine activity in the moments before impact.
Driver Logs & HOS Records
Hours-of-service logs reveal whether the driver was fatigued or in violation of federal rest requirements.
Maintenance Records
Service and inspection records expose whether the truck was roadworthy at the time of the crash.
Surveillance & Dashcam Footage
We move quickly to preserve camera footage from the truck, nearby businesses, and traffic systems.
