What we Can Do


Our truck accident lawyers at Rozek Law research the cause of your truck accident very carefully. But since large truck accident cases are more intricate, clients look to us as we are so experienced in this area. We can successfully represent victims of commercial truck accidents because we already have been successful and have the means to determine what occurred during your serious crash.

Many factors may contribute to the accident so we realize that identifying exactly what caused a truck accident could require an independent investigation by traffic reconstruction experts. Our firm works with reputable accident reconstruction experts to help build a solid case for full compensation from the insurance provider.

We will also obtain the cell phone records of the truck driver to determine if the driver was distracted at the time of the crash and we’ll analyze the driver logs and toll receipts to determine if the driver had been behind the wheel too long and likely had impaired alertness due to fatigue. We also review the maintenance records on the truck to determine if the truck company had serviced the brakes and other safety components of the vehicle per the schedule.

Because trucking companies are only required to keep maintenance records and driver logs for a certain period, hiring one of our lawyers quickly following the accident is crucial to avoid lost evidence. If you have been injured in a traffic crash with a large commercial truck or bus, it is best to consult with an experienced lawyer from our firm.

After a serious accident occurs, you should expect to be contacted by the insurance company representing the trucking company. In some cases, the accident victim or their representative may have to deal with different insurance companies representing the truck driver, trucking company and the cargo shipper.

You should understand that the insurance adjuster’s job is to protect their company’s profits and minimize the amount of money the company pays out in claims. Some insurance companies may assure the victim that an attorney is unnecessary but it’s important to have your own attorney represent you to prevent being taken advantage of.

Wisconsin Trucking Law


It is important to note that there are two types of Wisconsin trucking accidents: interstate and intrastate. Interstate trucking accidents are governed by the Federal Motor Carriers Safety Regulations and they involve a vehicle, usually a semi-truck, that is used for transporting goods between different states. Intrastate trucking accidents involve a truck that is mainly kept and driven in Wisconsin. The Wisconsin Administrative Code Trans §325.02 requires intrastate trucks to follow certain requirements of the Federal Motor Carriers Safety Regulations found in Title 49, including federal motor carrier safety regulations, hours of service of drivers, as well as inspection, repair and maintenance.

Many Wisconsin intrastate trucking companies don’t realize they are required to comply with some of the federal rules. That’s why we have had great success establishing violations of these rules by Wisconsin trucking companies and with almost 20,000 intrastate Wisconsin trucking companies registered with the Department of Transportation, we’ve got our work cut out for us. So if you have been injured in Milwaukee, Wisconsin by a large truck, contact an experienced Milwaukee truck accident lawyer at Rozek Law to assist you with your claim.
