Philadelphia Truck Accident Lawyers

Representing Truck Accidents Victims in Philadelphia County

Due to their size, trucks can cause serious accidents that lead to severe injuries. Car drivers and motorcyclists are at an increased risk of injury when involved in a truck accident.

If you were injured in a truck accident – whether it was with a small delivery truck or a large 18-wheeler – you have legal options, and Mincey Fitzpatrick Ross can help you pursue them. We strive to help the injured victims of truck accidents find the compensation they need to recover and move on from the incident.

Causes of Truck Accidents

Commercial trucks are substantially more difficult to operate than normal cars or SUVs. Commercial truck drivers must have a certain type of driver’s license and must undergo extensive training before they can legally operate a truck.

Even with this extra training, truck drivers are often prone to accidents because of their demanding schedules and their long hours spent on the road.

Truck Accident Cases We Handle

• Driver fatigue
• Driver negligence
• Incorrectly loaded trucks
• Poorly maintained trucks
• Defective truck parts

Pursuing a Claim Against the Company Instead of the Driver

Truck accident cases are unique compared to car and motorcycle accidents because they involve both a driver and a company that is liable for any accident their employee causes. It is very likely that you will be pursuing a claim against the company that operates the truck rather than the driver himself.

Understanding Semi-Truck Accidents in Philadelphia

Philadelphia, with its bustling streets and busy highways like I-95 and the Schuylkill Expressway, sees a significant amount of commercial truck traffic. This heavy traffic can unfortunately lead to semi-truck accidents, which are often more severe due to the size and weight of these vehicles. Local residents and commuters are well aware of the congestion and the potential dangers posed by these large trucks.

In the event of a semi-truck accident, it's important to know that local government entities such as the Philadelphia Police Department and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) play crucial roles in managing and investigating these incidents. While Mincey Fitzpatrick Ross does not partner with these entities, we are familiar with their procedures and how they can impact your case.

One of the major pain points for Philadelphia residents involved in semi-truck accidents is dealing with the aftermath, which often includes severe injuries, extensive medical bills, and the challenge of navigating complex legal claims. The local terrain, including narrow city streets and busy intersections, can exacerbate these issues, making it even more critical to have knowledgeable legal support.

At Mincey Fitzpatrick Ross, we understand the unique challenges faced by our community. We are committed to helping you navigate the legal landscape, ensuring you receive the compensation you need to recover and move forward. Whether you're dealing with driver fatigue, negligence, or poorly maintained trucks, our team is here to support you every step of the way.
