Why Truck Accidents Require a Different Legal Approach
Truck crashes involve more than just two vehicles. They often include:
- Multiple responsible parties, such as drivers, trucking companies, and cargo handlers
- Complex state and federal trucking laws, including FMCSA regulations
- Serious or permanent injuries due to the size and weight of trucks
- Powerful corporate insurers that fight to limit your payout
Our legal team understands these unique challenges. We have experience handling high-stakes truck accident cases and know how to build strong claims that hold all liable parties accountable.

Leading Causes of Truck Accidents in Albany
Truck collisions happen for many reasons. Common causes include:
- Distracted or drowsy driving
- Speeding or reckless lane changes
- Poor truck maintenance or tire blowouts
- Overloaded or unbalanced cargo
- Impaired or intoxicated drivers
- Inadequate driver training or supervision
We conduct thorough investigations to determine the cause and collect the evidence needed to prove liability.
What Compensation Can You Recover After a Truck Accident?
If you were injured in a trucking accident, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Emergency room and hospital bills
- Follow-up medical care and physical therapy
- Lost income and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional trauma
- Property damage to your vehicle
- Long-term disability or disfigurement
Our team will calculate the full value of your losses and fight to recover everything you’re owed.
Who May Be Liable in a Truck Accident?
Truck accident cases are rarely straightforward. Our attorneys look at every angle to determine who may be at fault, including:
- The truck driver
- The trucking company
- A third-party maintenance provider
- The manufacturer of defective truck parts
- Cargo loaders or shippers
Identifying all liable parties gives you the best chance at a full financial recovery.
Why You Shouldn’t Deal With Insurers on Your Own
After a serious truck crash, insurance companies may try to contact you quickly. Their goal is to reduce what they pay you. They may:
- Offer a settlement that is much lower than your claim’s value
- Ask you to give a recorded statement
- Delay your claim or deny it without clear explanation
Let The Roth Firm handle all communication with insurers. We protect your rights and keep your claim moving forward.
