Because commercial truck accidents frequently involve catastrophic injuries and larger insurance policies, it is important to have an experienced truck accident attorney protecting your rights. Since 1993, The Millar Law Firm has helped accident victims pursue the compensation they deserve.

Common Truck Accident Legal Questions
A truck accident can leave you with more questions than answers. Because these crashes often involve severe injuries, multiple insurance companies, trucking companies, and complex federal and state regulations, it is normal to have questions about your legal rights and options. When you contact The Millar Law Firm, our truck accident attorneys will answer your questions at no cost and explain what to expect throughout the claims process. With experienced legal guidance, you can make informed decisions and confidently pursue the compensation you deserve after your truck accident.
Can more than one company be responsible for my truck accident?
Yes. In many truck accident cases, more than one company may share responsibility, including the trucking company, the company that owned the trailer, a maintenance contractor, a cargo loading company, or even a parts manufacturer. Identifying every liable party is important because it can increase the insurance coverage available to compensate you for your injuries.
Can violations of FMCSA regulations increase the value of my case?
Potentially, yes. If a trucking company or driver violated Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations—such as hours-of-service rules, maintenance requirements, or driver qualification standards—it can serve as strong evidence of negligence. While a violation does not automatically increase the value of a claim, it may strengthen your case and improve your ability to recover full compensation.
How can a truck accident attorney prove fatigue contributed to my truck accident?
An attorney may investigate driver logbooks, electronic logging device (ELD) records, GPS data, fuel receipts, dispatch records, cell phone records, and surveillance footage to determine how long the driver had been on the road. This evidence can reveal whether the driver exceeded federal driving limits or had been operating while fatigued, helping establish how driver exhaustion contributed to the crash.
Why do truck accident cases often involve larger insurance policies?
Federal law generally requires many commercial trucking companies to carry significantly higher liability insurance limits than ordinary passenger vehicles because of the severe damage large trucks can cause. Although higher policy limits do not guarantee a larger settlement, they may provide additional compensation when a truck accident results in catastrophic injuries or wrongful death.
How does it work if a semi-truck doesn’t have any insurance at the time of an accident?
If a semi-truck is uninsured, you may still have options for recovering compensation. Depending on the circumstances, you may be able to pursue a claim against the trucking company, other responsible businesses, or your own uninsured motorist (UM) coverage if it applies. Because uninsured commercial truck cases can involve multiple liable parties and complex insurance issues, it’s important to have the accident investigated as soon as possible.
