Have You Been Seriously Injured in a Truck Collision?
18-Wheeler Truck Collisions
18 Wheelers and commercial trucks are the most dangerous vehicles on the road due to their enormous weight and excessive speed. Big truck collisions leave victims with devastating injuries that often last a lifetime. Bud holds trucking companies accountable for the destruction they cause to our clients and their families.

Truck collision cases are complicated, they involve many issues such as who's at fault, multiple vehicles and insurance companies. Truck and insurance companies will do whatever it takes to keep from being held responsible. Bud takes an aggressive approach to every case we handle.
Our accident reconstruction team actively investigates the crash site and vehicles involved to give us a strong position at the negotiating table. Our clients deserve fair and full compensation. We won't settle for less.
Who is Responsible for Your Truck Accident?
The most important stage in any trucking collision case is the initial research and investigation. This is when we compile evidence that demonstrates how your accident occurred and who is responsible for your injuries or the death of a family member. We work hard to sift through all the information, this includes trucker's log books and trucking company records, downloading the data from electronic on-board recorders (EOBRs), and forensic evidence.
Who is Responsible?
- Truck Driver: Failing to conduct proper pre-trip inspections, driving too fast for conditions, making illegal or unsafe turns, failing to brake, driving drowsy, leaving loads unsecured, texting, using a cell phone behind the wheel, or driving while impaired by alcohol or drugs are all examples of reckless and negligent driving by big rig drivers.
- Trucking Company: Carriers expose motorists and pedestrians to injury by having unsafe trucks on the road, and unsafe drivers. Trucking companies are often liable for failing to inspect and maintain the rigs in their fleet.
- Truck Manufacturer: Even the safest trucker or fleet operator may be involved in a collision if the truck and its components are defective, including tires, brakes, gears, and lights.
We find the truth about who is responsible for your accident and hold them accountable!
