A trucking accident is a crash involving a commercial truck or large freight vehicle that results in injury, death, or significant property damage. These accidents can result from driver fatigue, mechanical failure, unsafe loading, speeding, or poor road conditions, and often involve passenger vehicles, pedestrians, or other commercial vehicles.

When a Trucking Accident Changes Everything, You Need a Firm Built for Complex Litigation

Trucking accidents can cause life-altering injuries due to the massive size and weight of commercial trucks. Our attorneys have decades of experience litigating complex trucking accident cases involving catastrophic injuries and wrongful death, helping victims and their families pursue the compensation they deserve after serious commercial truck crashes.

Silva & Silva is committed to holding trucking companies and commercial drivers accountable for negligence, leveraging extensive experience to pursue justice and meaningful recovery for victims of commercial truck accidents.

Our Commitment Begins on Day One

Trucking accident cases require immediate and thorough investigation. Evidence such as driver logs, electronic data, maintenance records, and crash scene conditions can quickly be lost or altered. Silva & Silva advance the resources needed to begin investigating immediately, so critical evidence is preserved.

Decades of Trial Experience

Many victims believe insurance companies will handle trucking accident claims fairly, but insurance companies often aim to minimize payouts. Until an attorney is involved, insurers know the victim is unlikely to take the case to court. Our trial lawyers have decades of experience holding trucking companies and their insurers accountable.

Planning for Long-Term Recovery

Serious trucking accidents often result in catastrophic injuries such as traumatic brain injuries or spinal cord damage. After investigating the case, we work with medical, economic, and accident-reconstruction experts to develop a Life Care Plan that outlines the long-term care, treatment, and resources needed to support our clients and protect their future quality of life.
