Why Do I Need an Arizona Truck Accident Attorney?

We can handle every aspect of your case, including gathering evidence, determining liability, and negotiating with insurance companies.

3. What Should I Do After An Arizona Truck Accident?
After a truck accident, you should immediately seek medical attention to ensure your injuries, including those that do not appear immediately, are treated and documented. You should also call the police so they can document the accident in an official report, which may become important evidence in your case. Finally, contact our Arizona truck accident attorneys as soon as possible to begin building your case.
4. Can I Sue if a Truck Hit Me While in Their Blind Spot?
Yes, but under the Arizona comparative negligence law, any award you win will be reduced proportionately to any blame you share for the accident. Our attorneys can help maximize your compensation by pushing back against wrongful accusations of fault.
5. What Evidence Do I Need for an Arizona Truck Accident Case?
Our Arizona truck accident attorneys can help you find the right information and documentation to build a strong case. Helpful evidence in a truck accident lawsuit may include the following:

- Witness statements
- Police report detailing fault and contributing factors
- Electronic Logging Device (ELD) data
- Truck maintenance records
- Truck driver employment and driving history
- Medical records documenting your injuries
- Expert testimony from traffic engineers, accident reconstructionists, and other specialists
6. What Is Different Between Car Accident and Truck Accident Cases?
Truck accident lawsuits differ from car accidents primarily in severity and complexity. Due to the size and weight of commercial trucks, these accidents often cause more serious injuries. Further, the multi-layered nature of the trucking industry means multiple parties may share liability, including the driver, the trucking company, cargo loaders, maintenance crews, and vehicle manufacturers.
Common Causes for Arizona Truck Accidents
Accidents involving large commercial trucks often lead to catastrophic and even fatal injuries. Common causes of Arizona truck accidents include:
- Driver Fatigue – Long hours on the road can lead to exhaustion, reducing reaction time and increasing the likelihood of mistakes.
- Distracted Driving – Texting, using a GPS, or eating can divert a truck driver’s attention from the road.
- Speeding or Aggressive Driving – Exceeding speed limits or driving recklessly increases the chance of losing control, especially with large and unwieldy vehicles like commercial trucks.
- Improper Loading – Unbalanced or overloaded cargo can make a truck difficult to control and more prone to tipping over in transit.
- Vehicle Maintenance Issues – Faulty brakes, tire blowouts, or other mechanical failures can lead to serious truck accidents.
- Weather Conditions – Rain, fog, and ice make roads slippery and limit visibility, posing extra challenges for truck drivers.
- Impaired Driving – Alcohol, drugs, or prescription medication can impair a truck driver’s ability to operate their vehicle safely.
