Litchfield Park Truck Accident Attorney

A commercial truck accident is unlike any other car accident. The size and force of a big rig, combined with the speed at which most trucks travel on Arizona highways, means that victims face serious and even life-threatening injuries. Personal injury claims are complicated by a tangle of competing insurance companies and state and federal regulations over who is liable for the accident.

We have the experience and knowledge you need to get a fair settlement following a catastrophic injury due to a big rig accident. The attorneys at Wyatt Injury Law have a proven track record of settlements and trial wins in Arizona, and we’re here for you.

We offer free consultations for your personal injury claim. Call us at (602) 354-7346 or make an appointment with one of our personal injury attorneys today. We give our clients compassionate support and personal care when they need it most.

Arizona Truck Accident Laws

Arizona’s commercial driving laws mirror federal laws set by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). Truck drivers are strictly regulated on how many hours per day they can drive without a break, how many days per week, and when they must rest after a workweek. 

Regulations also require trucking companies to keep an electronic logging device (ELD) in each vehicle. This ELD is similar to an airplane’s “black box.” It records the truck’s performance, maintenance, and inspections. It also monitors the driver’s duty hours and break times.

After an accident, trucking companies must make the ELD contents available to an injured party’s attorney upon request. Federal law permits companies to delete the records after six months. If you’ve been involved in any incident with a commercial vehicle, it’s essential to contact an attorney at once, even if you’re not sure you plan to file an injury claim. Your attorney can obtain the ELD data and hold it for future litigation.

Causes and Impacts of Truck Accidents

ELD data is essential because it can indicate the cause of a truck accident. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), which regulates truck drivers and companies, estimates that most truck accidents are due to:

  • Truck driver fatigue and lack of rest periods
  • Mechanical failure and inadequate maintenance
  • Insufficient training
  • Distracted driving, including substance abuse
  • Improper loading 

Many of these conditions can be prevented with proper inspection by the trucking company. When your truck accident lawyer has the ELD data and other information, making your claim is easier than if such documentation is lacking.

Outcome of a Truck Accident

After a truck accident, you may have the same injuries as any other car crash, multiplied by an impact with an 80,000-pound vehicle. Rollovers, underrides, and overrides leave victims with injuries far more severe than any car-versus-car accident. Common injuries include:

  • Head, neck, and back injuries
  • Closed-head injuries, concussions, and brain injuries
  • Spinal trauma
  • Crush injuries and decapitation
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder
  • Wrongful death

After these accidents, victims may need long-term care for physical and psychological damage. Our legal team advocates on your behalf to get you the maximum compensation for your injuries. If you’re injured and unable to work for an extended period, we will ensure that your total compensation includes the support you and your family need for as long as you need care. 

Challenges of a Truck Accident Claim

In a typical motor vehicle accident, the drivers exchange insurance information and submit their claims to the insurance companies. In a commercial vehicle accident, things become more complicated. Unless the vehicle is independently owned and operated, the driver isn’t the only party involved. 

Joinder, or bringing in other parties responsible for the accident, helps ensure that all parties or companies responsible for your injuries pay their share of your recovery. When you file a personal injury lawsuit in a commercial claim, you may need to bring in:

  • The truck driver and their personal insurer
  • The trucking company and its insurance carrier
  • The shipping company
  • The owner of the trailer, if different from the trucking company or shipper
  • The maintenance company, if different from the trucking company

If the maintenance yard contracts out for parts or labor, then there could be other at-fault parties involved. You need an experienced truck accident attorney on your side who understands why each of these parties could be involved in your case and what their liability could be.

Getting Fair Compensation

Wyatt Injury Law ensures that all responsible parties are included in your claim, since you’re entitled to full compensation for your pain and suffering as well as your physical injuries. You shouldn’t have to wait while insurance companies argue over who has greater liability, the driver who didn’t get enough sleep or the maintenance yard that didn’t repair the brakes.

We have a proven track record of giving our clients the legal representation they need to recover all damages in their accident claim, including:

  • Medical expenses
  • Lost wages and lost future income
  • Emotional trauma
  • Future medical expenses

We prepare your case thoroughly, so if we go to trial, we have all the evidence we need. Our firm stands behind our clients from the beginning to the end of negotiations.

Contact Our Truck Accident Attorneys

Truck accident cases are more challenging than other personal injury cases. They require legal knowledge of state and federal laws and regulations about truck maintenance and drivers’ schedules. If you’re trying to pay your medical bills and get back to work, you need a legal team that can stand up for you in court against the insurance companies and their lawyers.

Wyatt Injury Law can give you all the legal options that are available in your case. If your injuries are someone else’s fault, we help ensure the liable parties pay their share. The consultation and initial case review are free. Call for an appointment at (602) 354-7346 or visit us online to leave a message for one of our experienced attorneys.

Client Testimonials

Real Clients, Real Success Stories

Justin Wyatt represented my husband after a motorcycle accident. He and his staff were personable, professional, and so hard working. He cared about us, and it showed. It was a difficult time for us, but we were able to focus on my husband's recuperation, knowing that Justin was taking care of everything else for us. Thank you so much!

I was referred to Wyatt Injury Law by a friend after an accident with uninsured driver who ran a red light. After feeling pretty hopeless and being turned down by 3 other attorneys (one flat out told me cases like mine are a pain the a** and he just wants to retire), I almost gave up on the whole thing. After getting off the phone with Justin, I instantly knew I was in good hands. He and his team were excellent at communicating every step of the process to me and keeping me in the loop. His team made a very well organized effort in getting me the rightful reimbursement for my injuries, pain and suffering. I was very happy with the outcome of my case and would not hesitate to refer Wyatt Injury Law to my friends should any one of them need such personal injury representation in the future.

Justin and his team were amazing. I started my claim with another attorney and for over a year there was no movement on my case. Justin came recommended by a friend and from the first appointment with him it was night and day compared to my dealings with a previous attorney. Expectations were set early on and he was able to close out my injury claim within 3 months! Justin Wyatt and his office did an outstanding job and they were able to secure an awesome settlement.

- Cori

The whole team at Wyatt Injury Law was fantastic. They handled everything and made the process easy for me. I had contacted many personal injury attorneys (the big names you see on billboards and buses) and no one would take my case. If it wasn't for my cousin convincing me to pursue this personal injury case I wouldn't have followed through. It took months to find Wyatt Injury Law but well worth it. Don't hesitate to give them a call.

He and his staff were personable, very knowledgeable and so hard-working. He cared about us, and was easy to talk to. It was not a fun time for us to go through all that, but we were able to get it done in a short time, Justin took care of everything in time and went through the steps with us. Thank you so much me and my husband really appreciate you!!
