FAQ
Who can be sued after a truck crash?
Liability may extend to the driver, the carrier, a freight broker, maintenance contractors, or the company that loaded the cargo.
How long do I have to preserve electronic-log data?
Truck ELD and black-box data can be overwritten in as little as 30 days; we send preservation letters immediately.
What are the federal hours-of-service rules?
FMCSA limits property-carrying drivers to 11 hours of driving after 10 consecutive off-duty hours—violations strengthen your case.
How long does a typical truck-accident case take to settle?
Straightforward claims may resolve in six to 12 months; complex multi-defendant suits can take longer, especially if litigation is necessary.
What’s the average settlement for a rear-end crash?
Amounts vary, but factors include medical expenses, lost income, and long-term effects; our calculator offers a starting estimate.
How much does it cost to hire your firm?
We work on contingency—you pay nothing unless we win compensation for you.
