Whether your accident occurred in Moncton, Saint John, Fredericton, Halifax, Charlottetown, or on a rural highway, our legal team works to protect your rights and hold negligent parties accountable.

Commercial Truck Accident Claims and Liability

Truck accident claims are often more complex than standard car accident cases. Multiple parties may be involved, including the truck driver, trucking company, vehicle owner, cargo loaders, and insurers. Federal and provincial safety regulations, logbooks, maintenance records, and black box data may all play a role in determining liability.

Our truck accident lawyers conduct thorough investigations to identify negligence, regulatory violations, and insurance coverage issues to strengthen your claim.

Common Causes and Resulting Injuries

Truck accidents are often caused by driver fatigue, speeding, improper lane changes, distracted driving, mechanical failures, overloaded cargo, and poor vehicle maintenance. Due to the force of impact, injuries are frequently severe and may include traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, internal organ damage, fractures, permanent disability, and wrongful death.

Our truck accident lawyers pursue compensation that reflects both immediate losses and long-term life impact.

Compensation Available in Truck Accident Claims

Victims of truck accidents may recover compensation for medical expenses, lost income, rehabilitation costs, pain and suffering, property damage, and out-of-pocket expenses. In serious cases, claims may also include future medical care, reduced earning capacity, permanent impairment damages, and long-term support needs.

Because trucking companies and insurers often aggressively defend these claims, early legal representation is critical.

What to Do After a Truck Accident

Truck accident cases require prompt action to preserve evidence and protect your legal rights.

Seek Immediate Medical Attention

Even if injuries seem minor, obtain medical care right away. Medical records are essential in truck accident claims.

Report the Accident

Ensure police attend the scene and a formal accident report is filed.

Preserve Evidence

Photograph vehicle damage, road conditions, skid marks, and injuries. Obtain contact details for witnesses and, if possible, trucking company information.

Avoid Speaking to Insurance Representatives Alone

Trucking companies often have legal teams working immediately after an accident. Avoid giving recorded statements or accepting settlement offers without legal advice.
