Berks County Truck Accident Attorney
A truck accident can change your life in an instant. When an 80,000-pound commercial vehicle collides with a passenger car, the consequences are catastrophic. Victims often face severe injuries, mounting medical bills, and long-term disabilities. At Wilk Law Firm, our Berks County truck accident attorneys stand up for victims and their families — fighting powerful trucking companies and insurers to secure the compensation they deserve.
Why Truck Accidents Are Different
Truck accident cases are far more complex than ordinary car crashes. They often involve multiple liable parties, federal safety regulations, and corporate defense teams determined to minimize payouts. Our attorneys understand how to navigate these challenges to protect your rights.
Key factors that make truck accident cases unique include:
- Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR) violations
- Driver fatigue from exceeding hours-of-service limits
- Improper maintenance of brakes, tires, or engines
- Overloaded or unsecured cargo causing loss of control
- Negligent hiring or training by trucking companies
- Black box (ECM) data revealing speed and braking patterns
Our team conducts detailed investigations, working with experts to uncover the truth and build a powerful case on your behalf.
Common Injuries in Truck Accidents
Due to the size and weight of commercial trucks, injuries are often severe or life-threatening. Victims may suffer from:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries or paralysis
- Broken bones and fractures
- Internal organ damage
- Severe burns and lacerations
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
These injuries often require extensive treatment, long-term care, and financial support. Our attorneys fight to ensure every cost — physical, emotional, and financial — is accounted for.
Who Can Be Held Liable
Truck accidents often involve more than just the driver. Depending on the circumstances, liable parties may include:
- The truck driver
- The trucking company
- The cargo loading company
- The vehicle or parts manufacturer
- A maintenance provider
Identifying every responsible party allows us to pursue maximum compensation for your injuries and losses.
Compensation for Truck Accident Victims
If you were injured in a truck accident, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical expenses (current and future)
- Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
- Long-term disability
- Loss of consortium or companionship
Our firm aggressively negotiates with insurers — and when necessary, takes cases to court — to secure the best possible outcome.
