Truck Accidents

Truck Accident Lawyer in Minnesota

Tractor-trailers, semis, and other commercial trucks are frequently the largest vehicles on most roadways in Minnesota. When fully loaded, these vehicles can weigh several tons.

As a result of their immense size, crashes involving commercial trucks have the potential to result in very serious—possibly even fatal—injuries. The individuals or entities that own these types of vehicles have insurance policies with highers limits than most traditional passenger vehicles, but insurers will aggressively attempt to limit the compensation that is paid to victims.

Need an Injury Lawyer Minnesota represents people who have suffered catastrophic injuries as well as the families of those killed as the result of a truck driver or trucking company’s negligence. Our firm serves Plymouth, Rochester, Maple Grove, Duluth, Woodbury, Bloomington, St. Cloud, Brooklyn Park, a number of other communities in the greater Twin Cities (Minneapolis-St. Paul) area.

  • Driver fatigue

  • Distracted driving
  • Reckless driving
  • Lack of driver training

  • Failure to obey traffic control devices
  • Actions of other motorists

Liability for Minnesota Truck Accidents

One aspect of commercial truck accident cases that makes them remarkably different from most traditional passenger vehicle crashes is the possibility that multiple parties may bear some responsibility for a victim’s injuries. The insurance companies representing such negligent parties will frequently attempt to assign the blame to another party or deny any liability whatsoever.

While truck drivers are frequently at fault for many truck accidents, they rarely have enough personal wealth (or personal insurance limits) to fully satisfy the damages sustained by the victims. In such cases, many other parties could be held liable. Examples include, but are not limited to:

  • Employers of truck drivers
  • Truck owners
  • Maintenance companies
  • Truck parts manufacturers
  • Freight owners
