Most people don't realize how different a truck accident case is from a standard car crash. The stakes are higher, the liable parties are more numerous, and the evidence window is much shorter. Here's what you need to know.
The moment a serious truck crash happens, the trucking company's insurer deploys investigators to the scene to gather evidence, photograph the accident, and take statements — all designed to protect the company. Every hour you wait without an attorney, they get stronger.
Commercial trucks have electronic logging devices and black boxes that record speed, braking, hours driven and driver behavior in the seconds before a crash. This evidence can be overwritten or destroyed quickly. We send preservation letters immediately to protect it.
Truck drivers and trucking companies must comply with strict FMCSA federal regulations governing hours of service, vehicle maintenance, drug testing, and cargo loading. Violations of these rules establish negligence and can dramatically increase your recovery.
The truck driver, the trucking company, the cargo loading company, the truck manufacturer, and the maintenance company may all share liability. We identify every responsible party and pursue every available source of compensation simultaneously.
Truck Types & Crash Types We Handle
If you were hit by any type of commercial vehicle in Pennsylvania, call us. We handle the full range of truck accident cases.
The most serious crashes on PA highways. Tractor trailers carry massive insurance policies and often involve multiple liable parties including the carrier, broker, and shipper.
Semi truck accidents cause catastrophic injuries due to the extreme size and weight difference between commercial vehicles and passenger cars.
When a tractor trailer folds at the hitch point, blocking multiple lanes. Almost always caused by driver error, speeding, or improper braking — all actionable negligence.
Often caused by speeding on curves, improperly loaded cargo, or driver fatigue. Rollovers frequently involve catastrophic injuries and multiple liable parties.
Among the most deadly crash types — when a passenger vehicle slides under a trailer or a truck overrides a smaller vehicle. Trailer underguard failures are frequently involved.
Amazon, FedEx, UPS, and USPS delivery vehicles. These companies carry significant corporate liability. We pursue the driver, the company, and their insurers.
Fuel tankers, chemical haulers, and hazmat vehicles. Explosions, fires, and toxic spills create additional injury categories and heightened liability for carriers.
Hours of service violations are among the most common causes of serious truck crashes. Driver logs and ELD data reveal exactly how long the driver had been behind the wheel.
Shifting, falling, or unsecured cargo causes crashes and direct injuries to other drivers. Both the shipper and the carrier may be liable for improper loading.
Texting, phone use, and driving under the influence by a commercial truck driver dramatically increases liability and may support punitive damages claims.
What We Recover
Truck accident settlements in Pennsylvania are often worth significantly more than car accident claims due to higher insurance policy limits and multiple liable parties. We pursue every available dollar.
All emergency care, hospitalization, surgery, rehabilitation, specialist treatment and ongoing medical costs related to the crash.
Income lost during recovery plus reduced earning capacity if your injuries prevent you from returning to your previous work.
Physical pain, emotional distress, PTSD, and the full impact your injuries have on your daily life and relationships.
Full replacement value of your vehicle and all personal property damaged or destroyed in the crash.
When a trucking company violated federal safety regulations or acted with reckless disregard, we pursue additional punitive damages on top of standard compensation.
If a loved one was killed in a truck accident, we pursue the full wrongful death claim against every responsible party — driver, company, and insurer.
How It Works
Truck accident cases move fast — and so do we. Here's exactly what to expect from Pisanchyn Law.
We review the crash, identify all liable parties — driver, company, cargo loader, manufacturer — and explain every claim available to you at no cost.
We send legal preservation letters immediately to secure black box data, driver logs, maintenance records, and dashcam footage before it disappears.
We deal directly with the trucking company's legal team and insurers. Their rapid response team met their match.
Settlement or trial — our fee comes from the recovery. You never pay us out of pocket. We don't stop until you get everything you're owed.
Client Results
Hear from clients Pisanchyn Law has helped take on trucking companies across Pennsylvania.
"An 18-wheeler ran a red light and destroyed my car on Route 81. The trucking company's insurer called me within hours offering a quick settlement. I called Pisanchyn first — they subpoenaed the truck's black box, proved the driver had violated hours of service rules, and got me a settlement that covered everything plus more."
"A tractor trailer jackknifed on I-80 and hit me head on. My injuries were serious. Pisanchyn Law investigated and found the driver hadn't slept in over 20 hours — a clear federal violation. They took on the trucking company and their insurer and won. Do not face these companies alone."
"I was rear-ended by a delivery truck on the highway. The company immediately disputed fault. Pisanchyn Law pulled the truck's dashcam and maintenance records, found the brakes were overdue for service, and the company settled quickly once they saw what we had. These attorneys know exactly what to look for."
