How Truck Accident Lawsuits Work
When you make “One Call…That’s All!” to Gruber Law Offices after being injured in a trucking accident, we’ll investigate the crash, negotiate with the insurance company, and, if necessary, file a lawsuit and take your case to trial.
Here are some more details about every step of that process so you have a better idea of what to expect.
Investigating the Accident
After your free consultation, we’ll start investigating the wreck and gathering evidence, including:
- The truck’s black box data
- Dashcam footage
- Body camera videos
- Traffic camera footage
- Your medical records
- The police report
Negotiations and Settlements
Our large and powerful team will then negotiate with the responsible party’s insurance company to try to get you enough money to cover your medical bills, lost wages, and other losses.
Filing a Truck Accident Lawsuit
If the insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement, we’ll file a truck accident lawsuit, which may open up new negotiations before the case goes to trial.
Trial and Verdict
To get you the compensation you deserve, the team at Gruber Law Offices is fully prepared to take your case to trial to fight for the compensation you’re entitled to.

What Makes Truck Accident Cases Different
Truck accident cases are different from other accident claims because of the often larger financial impact, the complicated liability issues, and the added factor of whether trucking regulations were followed.
When you choose to let our firm represent you, we put our large team and 40+ years of experience to work on your case to get you all the money you deserve, no matter how complicated the case is.
Financial Impact
Since trucks are significantly larger than other vehicles, truck accidents tend to have a much larger financial impact on people’s lives than other car crashes.
The catastrophic injuries, permanent disabilities, and wrongful deaths caused by trucking accidents tend to make truck crash cases much larger than other car accident claims.
Liability Issues
In most car accidents, it’s relatively easy to determine who’s at fault since it’s usually one of the drivers.
On the other hand, truck accident cases may include multiple liable parties, such as:
- The truck driver
- The trucking company
- The business that improperly loaded the truck
- The company responsible for maintaining the truck
- A part manufacturer
Trucking Regulations
Not only do truck drivers have to follow all the regular “rules of the road,” but the trucking industry also has its own set of regulations, including how long drivers can be on the road each day and how long they must rest each night.
Whether or not the truck driver followed these regulations can have a huge impact on your case.
