What we Can Do


Our Rozek Law truck accident attorneys will conduct an in-depth review of the cause of your accident. Since 18-wheeler accidents are more complicated than other accidents, an experienced law firm that has successfully represented victims of commercial truck accidents is who you should call.

There are many reasons that can contribute to the accident so we can identify precisely what caused a truck accident by recommending an independent investigation by traffic reconstruction experts. Our firm prides itself on collaborating with highly qualified accident reconstruction experts to help clients get the full compensation from the insurance provider that they deserve.

We will also attain the cell phone records of the truck driver to find out if the driver was distracted at the time of the crash as well as analyzing the driver logs and toll receipts to determine if the driver possibly had impaired alertness due to fatigue. We also check out the maintenance records on the truck to see if the truck company had serviced the brakes and other safety components of the vehicle according to the schedule.

Since trucking companies are just required to keep maintenance records and driver logs for a certain period, hiring one of our lawyers soon after the accident is important. If you have been injured in a traffic crash with a large commercial truck or bus, the best thing you can do is call us to schedule a consultation with an experienced lawyer from our firm.

After a serious accident occurs, you should expect to be contacted by the insurance company that represents the trucking company. In rare 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.

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 avoid being swindled.

Causes of Truck Accidents


Many truck accidents are caused by common driver errors. The truck driver may be speeding, driving too fast for the road conditions, tailgating, driving drowsy or inattentive to changing traffic conditions.

According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s (FMCSA) large truck crash causation study analysis brief, these were the main factors associated with large truck collisions:

29% truck brake problems

23% Driver traveling too fast for conditions

22% Driver unfamiliar with the roadway

20% Roadway problems

17% Driver over the counter drug use

13% Driver Fatigue

Large trucks and other commercial vehicles have by far had the highest rate of involvement in deadly accidents. Passenger vehicle occupants are also far more likely to be killed or seriously injured in a truck accident than the driver of the truck. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration(NHTSA) reports that of the 3,964 large truck crash fatalities in a recent year, only 17 percent were occupants (driver) of the large trucks, while 71 percent were occupants of other vehicles. In addition to the fatalities, 95,000 people were injured in large truck collisions that year, 72 percent of which were occupants of other vehicles.
