Commercial Truck Accident Representation

Holding Trucking Companies and Insurers Accountable

When an 80,000-pound semi-truck collides with a passenger vehicle, the results are catastrophic. Victims face traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, amputations, and fatalities at far higher rates than in ordinary car accidents. What makes these cases even more complex is the web of parties involved: the truck driver, the trucking company, the cargo loader, the maintenance contractor, and potentially the truck manufacturer.

Feller & Wendt has the resources and experience to investigate commercial truck accidents thoroughly — preserving critical evidence like black box data, driver logs, and maintenance records before they disappear.
