Trucking & Commercial Vehicle Accidents

Taking On Trucking Companies & Winning Big

A collision with a semi-truck, an 18-wheeler, or any large commercial vehicle can be nothing short of catastrophic. The sheer size and weight of these massive trucks create an undeniable force upon impact, often resulting in devastating consequences for those involved.


Victims of such accidents frequently face life-altering injuries that extend far beyond physical trauma; they may endure significant emotional distress and psychological repercussions as well. In addition to the immediate health impacts, the aftermath can lead to mounting medical bills that quickly spiral out of control. Survivors often find themselves grappling with not only the costs of emergency care and surgeries but also ongoing rehabilitation and therapy needed to recover from their injuries.


Furthermore, many victims must confront lost wages due to time away from work during recovery periods—financial strain that compounds their already challenging situation. The long-term pain and suffering resulting from these accidents can be profound, affecting every aspect of a victim's life—from their ability to engage in daily activities to maintaining relationships with loved ones.

Meanwhile, trucking companies and their insurers are often in a frantic scramble to cover their tracks, desperately shifting blame away from themselves and working tirelessly to minimize payouts to victims. This unprincipled behavior is an unfortunate reality in the industry, where profits frequently take precedence over accountability. At McCallum Law, we refuse to let these corporations evade responsibility for their actions.

Trucking Companies Destroy Evidence Fast


After a crash, trucking companies quickly remove evidence, making it harder to prove fault. We demand immediate access to truck logs, GPS data, and maintenance records to preserve key evidence before it disappears.

Multiple Liable Parties


Unlike standard car accidents, trucking cases often involve multiple responsible parties, including:

• The truck driver (for reckless or fatigued driving).

• The trucking company (for negligent hiring, training, or safety violations).

• The maintenance provider (if faulty repairs caused the accident).

• The truck manufacturer (if defective parts contributed to the crash).
