Trucking accidents are not like regular car crashes. They involve federal regulations, multiple liable parties, and aggressive insurance defense teams. KP Law knows how to investigate fast, preserve evidence, and fight trucking companies for full compensation.
Why Trucking Accidents Are More Dangerous
Commercial trucks weigh up to 80,000 pounds.
When something goes wrong, the damage is catastrophic.
Victims often suffer:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord damage
- Multiple fractures
- Internal organ injuries
- Permanent disability
These injuries change lives, and trucking companies know the financial exposure is massive.
Why Trucking Accident Cases Are So Complicated
1.Multiple Responsible Parties
Unlike car accidents, trucking crashes may involve:
- The truck driver
- The trucking company
- Cargo loaders
- Maintenance contractors
- Truck or parts manufacturers
Each party may carry separate insurance coverage. KP Law investigates all of them.
2. Federal Trucking Regulations
Truck drivers and companies must follow strict federal rules, including:
- Hours-of-service limits
- Driver qualification requirements
- Maintenance and inspection schedules
- Drug and alcohol testing
Violations often prove negligence, but only if evidence is preserved quickly.
3. Critical Evidence Can Disappear Fast
Key trucking evidence includes:
- Black box data
- Driver logs
- GPS and dispatch records
- Maintenance reports
- Onboard camera footage
Trucking companies deploy rapid-response teams immediately after a crash. KP Law moves faster.
What To Do After a Truck Accident
- Call 911 immediately
- Seek emergency medical care
- Take photos if possible

- Call KP Law Group right away
The earlier we get involved, the stronger your case becomes.
What Compensation May Be Available
Truck accident victims may recover compensation for:
- Emergency and long-term medical care
- Lost wages and future earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Permanent disability
- Wrongful death damages for families
KP Law builds cases for maximum recovery, not quick settlements.
