Greater risk & severity: Trucks are heavier and larger than passenger cars — even moderate collisions can cause serious injuries or fatalities.
Multiple potentially liable parties: Liability may not be limited to the truck driver — it can include the trucking company, cargo loaders, maintenance firms, or even the truck manufacturer.
Complex regulations & evidence: Commercial trucking is subject to special rules (driver working hours, maintenance logs, load limits, etc.). A critical part of a claim often involves analyzing black-box data, maintenance history, and compliance with regulations.
