Delaware County Truck Accident Attorney
Truck accidents are among the most devastating collisions on Pennsylvania roads. The sheer size and weight of an 18-wheeler can cause catastrophic injuries and life-altering consequences for victims. At Wilk Law Firm, our Delaware County truck accident lawyers have the experience, skill, and determination to take on large trucking companies and fight for the justice you deserve.
We understand the challenges victims face after a truck crash — from painful injuries and lost income to the emotional toll of recovery. Our team is here to handle every aspect of your claim while you focus on healing.
Common Causes of Truck Accidents
Many truck accidents are preventable and result from negligence or corporate corner-cutting. Common causes include:
- Driver fatigue due to long hours behind the wheel
- Distracted driving, including phone use or eating while driving
- Speeding or reckless driving to meet tight delivery deadlines
- Improperly loaded or unsecured cargo
- Poor truck maintenance leading to brake or tire failure
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
When negligence causes harm, our attorneys step in to hold responsible parties accountable and demand fair compensation.
Injuries and Lasting Consequences
Truck accidents often result in serious or fatal injuries. Common examples include:
- Head and traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Broken bones and fractures
- Severe burns or crush injuries
- Internal bleeding or organ failure
- Permanent disability
These injuries can require months or even years of rehabilitation. Our team ensures every medical need and long-term cost is reflected in your claim.
Determining Liability in a Trucking Accident
Truck accident cases can involve multiple layers of responsibility. Liable parties may include:
- The truck driver for reckless or impaired driving
- The trucking company for negligent hiring or supervision
- The cargo loaders for overloading or imbalance
- The manufacturer for defective parts or brakes
- Third-party maintenance providers for improper repairs
We conduct comprehensive investigations — including gathering black box data, driver logs, and inspection records — to identify all liable parties and strengthen your case.
Damages Available to Truck Accident Victims
Our attorneys pursue full and fair compensation for your losses, including:
- Medical and hospital expenses
- Lost wages and future earning potential
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Wrongful death damages (for surviving family members)
We never settle for less than what your case is worth.
