Truck Accidents

Minnesota Truck Accident Lawyers & Attorneys

In 2008, one out of nine traffic fatalities resulted from a collision involving a large truck (gross vehicle weight greater than 10,000 pounds).  Large trucks also accounted for 4 percent of all vehicles involved in injury and property-damage-only crashes.  Because of the size of semi-tractor-trailers, these injuries are often severe.

There are numerous state and federal regulations that govern the operation of commercial vehicles.  In Minnesota, the State Patrol is required to do a complete investigation every time there is a crash involving a semi-trailer.  However, we have found that it sometimes makes a difference in the case if we are retained early enough to do our own investigation as well. Even after the evidence from the scene is removed, there may be skid marks we can examine, and we always want to do our own interviews with witnesses.

The lawyers at the Rochlin Law Firm, Ltd. have handled many commercial trucking accidents and are knowledgeable about the laws and regulations pertaining to these large vehicles.
