Serious Injuries in Trucking Cases

Damages & Compensation

In standard traffic injury cases, Missouri generally does not cap non-economic damages. (Medical malpractice has separate rules.)

How We Build a Winning Truck Case

• Immediate evidence preservation: send spoliation letters; secure ELD/black-box data, inspection reports, and maintenance records.
• Scene & vehicle forensics: document skid marks, damage profiles, and ECM/airbag data; retain reconstruction experts.
• Regulatory proof: analyze hours-of-service, driver qualification files, drug/alcohol testing, and safety histories.
• Medical & economic proof: work with specialists and economists to quantify lifelong care and lost earning capacity.
• Negotiation & trial: press carriers and insurers for full value; file suit and try the case when offers are unfair.

What To Do After a Truck Accident

• Get medical care immediately—even if you feel okay; some injuries appear later.
• Call police and obtain a report; identify witnesses and note unit/driver info.
• Document the scene: photos of roadway, vehicles, DOT numbers, cargo, and your injuries.
• Do not discuss fault with the carrier or insurer; avoid recorded statements.
• Contact us early: we preserve critical evidence before it’s lost or overwritten.

Truck Accident FAQ

Who can be held liable after a truck crash?

Potential defendants include the driver, carrier, broker/shipper, maintenance contractor, and parts manufacturers—whoever contributed to the unsafe condition.

What if the trucking company says I caused the crash?

Missouri’s comparative fault law can reduce—rather than eliminate—compensation. Strong reconstruction and regulatory evidence can overcome defense blame tactics.

Should I talk to the trucking insurer?

No. Insurers seek statements that minimize payouts. We handle communications and protect your claim.
