Truck accident cases involve commercial vehicles, regulated operations, and corporate defendants—making them fundamentally different from standard motor vehicle collisions. They typically involve commercial drivers, corporate carriers, and multiple layers of insurance and regulation—all of which come into play immediately after a serious crash.

Trucking companies and their insurers often respond within hours, deploying investigators and defense counsel to control the narrative and limit exposure. Our role is to act just as quickly: securing evidence, identifying all responsible parties, and preserving the facts before critical information is lost or altered.

At Ferrigno Law Firm, we approach truck accident matters with the expectation that liability and damages may be contested aggressively. That assumption shapes how cases are investigated, documented, and positioned from the outset.

What Sets Truck Accident Cases Apart

Truck accident claims often involve issues not present in ordinary auto cases, including:

• Multiple potentially responsible parties, including drivers, carriers, vehicle owners, and contractors

• Commercial insurance policies with layered coverage and high exposure limits

• Federal and state trucking regulations governing driver conduct, hours of service, and vehicle maintenance

• Electronic logging data, onboard systems, and maintenance records that may be overwritten or destroyed

• Disputes over employment status, control, and regulatory compliance

How these issues are handled early frequently determines the strength and direction of the case.

Our Approach

We focus on preparation, documentation, and early control of the evidentiary record. That includes:

• Prompt investigation of the crash scene and vehicle condition

• Preservation and review of driver logs, electronic data, and maintenance records

• Identifying all available insurance coverage and responsible entities

• Managing communications with carriers and insurers to avoid mischaracterization

• Evaluating the case with a litigation mindset, even when resolution may be possible without trial

This approach allows cases to move efficiently when appropriate—and positions them to proceed when fair resolution is not offered.
