Commercial truck accidents on Phoenix freeways—I-10, I-17, and Loop 101—are among the most devastating and complex personal injury cases. An 80,000-pound semi-truck colliding with a passenger vehicle often results in catastrophic injuries or wrongful death. These cases require attorneys with specialized knowledge of federal trucking regulations, corporate liability, and the resources to fight well-funded trucking company legal teams.
Desert Justice Lawyers matches truck accident victims with experienced attorneys who have successfully handled complex commercial vehicle cases. Our network includes lawyers who investigate every angle—driver logs, maintenance records, black box data, company safety violations—to build ironclad cases against negligent trucking companies.
Federal regulations limit how many hours truck drivers can operate. Companies that pressure drivers to violate these rules or falsify logs can be held liable for fatigue-related crashes.
Brake failures, tire blowouts, steering problems—trucking companies must maintain vehicles. Our attorneys obtain maintenance records to prove negligent upkeep caused your accident.
Overloaded trucks, unbalanced cargo, and unsecured loads cause rollovers and jackknife accidents. Multiple parties may be liable including loaders and shippers.
Trucking companies must properly train drivers. Hiring inexperienced drivers or cutting corners on training creates liability when accidents occur.
Phone use, GPS distractions, drug use, and alcohol impairment by commercial drivers constitutes gross negligence. We pursue maximum damages including punitive damages.
Truck accidents involve complex federal regulations (FMCSA rules) that don't apply to regular car accidents. Our attorneys are experts in these specialized laws.
Truck cases often involve the driver, trucking company, maintenance contractors, cargo loaders, and manufacturers—all with separate insurance policies and legal teams.
Commercial trucks carry insurance policies of $1 million or more. Our attorneys know how to pursue maximum compensation from all available sources.
We immediately preserve evidence: electronic logging devices, black box data, maintenance records, driver history, and company safety violations before they disappear.
Because truck accidents often cause catastrophic injuries, damage awards tend to be substantial. Our attorneys fight for compensation including:
Emergency care, surgeries, hospital stays, rehabilitation, ongoing therapy, medical equipment, and lifetime care for permanent disabilities.
Time off work, reduced earning capacity if you can't return to your career, and vocational rehabilitation costs.
Physical pain, emotional trauma, permanent scarring or disfigurement, disability, and loss of enjoyment of life.
When trucking companies act with gross negligence or reckless disregard for safety, Arizona courts may award punitive damages to punish and deter.
Potentially liable parties include the truck driver, trucking company, truck owner (if leased), maintenance companies, cargo loaders, parts manufacturers, and even brokers who arranged the shipment. Our attorneys investigate all potential defendants to maximize your recovery.
Arizona's statute of limitations is two years for most truck accident injury claims. However, critical evidence like electronic logging data and surveillance footage may be automatically erased in weeks. Contact an attorney immediately to preserve evidence.
Electronic Control Modules (ECMs) or "black boxes" record crucial data: speed, braking, engine performance, and more. This objective evidence often proves driver negligence. Our attorneys immediately send spoliation letters to preserve this data before it's erased.
Truck accident settlements and verdicts in Phoenix range from hundreds of thousands to multiple millions depending on injury severity, long-term impacts, and available insurance. Our attorneys will evaluate your specific case and fight for maximum compensation.
