Truck Accident Lawyers
National representation for victims of catastrophic commercial truck accidents.
Serious truck accident cases require attorneys who understand federal regulations, commercial carrier liability, and the resources to take on trucking companies and their insurers. Jazlowiecki & Jazlowiecki represents victims of catastrophic truck accidents across the United States, with over 50 years of experience in complex transportation litigation.
Why Truck Accident Cases Are Different From Car Accidents
Commercial truck accidents involve a layer of complexity that ordinary vehicle accidents do not. Multiple parties may share liability — the truck driver, the trucking company, the cargo loader, the vehicle manufacturer, and the maintenance contractor. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations govern how long drivers can operate, how cargo must be secured, and how vehicles must be maintained. Violations of these regulations are frequently a central issue in truck accident litigation.
Trucking companies and their insurers dispatch accident investigation teams within hours of a serious crash. Physical evidence, black box data, driver logs, and maintenance records can disappear quickly. Having an attorney involved as early as possible is critical to preserving the evidence needed to build a successful case.
What Our Attorneys Investigate
In every serious truck accident case, our attorneys investigate:
- •FMCSA hours of service violations — was the driver operating beyond legal driving limits?
- •Driver qualification and training records — was the driver properly licensed and trained for the vehicle?
- •Drug and alcohol testing — was the driver impaired at the time of the accident?
- •Vehicle maintenance records — was the truck properly maintained and inspected?
- •Electronic logging device (ELD) and black box data — what do the vehicle's own records show?
- •Cargo loading and securement — was the load properly balanced and secured?
- •Company policies and safety culture — does the trucking company have a history of violations?

Frequently Asked Questions
Liability in a truck accident can extend beyond the driver to include the trucking company (if the driver was operating within the scope of employment), the cargo loading company (if an improperly secured load contributed to the accident), the vehicle manufacturer (if a mechanical defect was involved), and the maintenance contractor (if negligent maintenance caused or contributed to the crash). Identifying all liable parties is one of the most important tasks in the early stages of a truck accident case.
