Truck Accidents

Phoenix, Arizona, Truck Accident Lawyers

An accident involving an 18-wheeler, tractor-trailer, or semi-truck is usually life altering, and sometimes fatal, for occupants of a passenger vehicle involved in the collision. These cases are often more complex than car accident cases, involving multiple insurance companies, regulatory agencies, and law enforcement agencies. In Arizona, trucking industry regulations often allow those injured in truck accidents to bring claims against both the truck driver and the trucking company.

A semi truck can weigh more than 80,000 pounds and be up to 75 feet in length. According to the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT), out of 500,000 truck accidents each year, about 5,000 are fatal.

Our lawyers handle 18-wheeler and semi truck accident claims for clients throughout Arizona, California, New Mexico, Utah, Nevada, and Texas from our offices in the Phoenix area, and are happy to assist out-of-state firms in claims handled in Arizona courts. If you would like to arrange a free consultation with one of our attorneys please contact our firm.

We have successfully recovered impressive settlements and verdicts on behalf of clients in car-truck crashes. Preserving evidence is the key. When handling an injury or death claim from a truck accident, an attorney from Alex & Gaxiola will travel to the scene of the accident, often on the day we take your case, to see that evidence is preserved and witness statements are recorded while memories are fresh. We can not emphasize strongly enough how important it is to retain the right lawyer—one with experience in these complex cases—as soon as possible.

A trucking accident is never routine and almost always requires a team of leading experts in the trucking field, including accident reconstructionists, engineers, log book examiners, doctors, vocational rehabilitation specialists, forensic accountants, and economists, to demonstrate the true value of our client's claim to a jury. Our firm has the resources and the commitment to assemble that team and take the case to trial or appeal if necessary to recover maximum compensation for our client.

In addition to commercial semi truck accidents, our lawyers are prepared to handle auto accidents involving rock haulers, log trucks, box trucks, dump trucks, cement trucks, and construction vehicles.

Victims of truck accidents are entitled to compensation for property damage, medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering (past and future), and for permanent injury or disfigurement. If the accident was fatal, surviving family members are entitled to compensation for the loss of emotional and financial support.

Throughout Arizona, our attorneys represent clients in mediation, arbitration, trials, and appeals. For select cases, our attorneys will travel throughout Nevada, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, and California to represent truck accident victims and their families.
