Waldon Adelman’s Trucking Litigation is specifically focused on defending catastrophic damages, injury, and wrongful death claims arising from accidents involving commercial trucks and tractor-trailers. These cases are inherently complex, often involving severe injuries, significant damages, and the confluence of state tort law and federal trucking regulations (FMCSR). We leverage our deep understanding of the trucking industry to build robust defenses, always striving to achieve the most favorable outcomes for our trucking clients.

Navigating the Complexities of Trucking Accidents

Accidents involving commercial trucks are distinct from standard motor vehicle collisions due to the unique legal and regulatory landscape. We represent truck drivers, trucking companies, logistics providers, and their insurers against a wide range of allegations, including:

• Driver Negligence and Fatigued Driving: Challenging claims related to a driver’s actions or hours-of-service violations.
• Hours of Service Violations: A critical aspect of federal regulation (FMCSR) that can lead to significant liability.
• Improper Vehicle Maintenance: Allegations that a mechanical failure contributed to the accident.
• Negligent Hiring or Training: Claims that a company failed to properly vet or train its drivers.
• Cargo Securement Failures: Disputes over improperly loaded or secured freight.

Our proficiency in these areas allows us to meticulously analyze the facts and build a strong defense.

Securing Significant Victories for our Trucking Clients

When defending a trucking lawsuit, our attorneys are highly proficient in analyzing all critical evidence. We don’t just rely on police reports; we go deeper, leveraging our expertise to examine:

• Accident Reconstruction Data: Using expert analysis to understand the mechanics of the collision.
• Dashcam Footage and Black Box Data: Analyzing electronic records to gain a clear picture of the moments before an accident.
• Medical and Employment Records: Scrutinizing the plaintiff’s and driver’s histories to challenge causation and the extent of alleged injuries.
• Pre-Accident Medical Histories: Investigating if pre-existing conditions played a role in the claimed injuries.

This strategic approach allows us to challenge causation, the extent of damages, and plaintiff’s allegations with precision. Our dedication to a strong defense has led to significant victories, such as the one highlighted here: Brian Williams Secures Significant Victory in Trucking Accident Case.
