Commercial truck drivers have a duty to drive safely and take appropriate precautions to protect the public from harm. Semi-truck drivers and other commercial vehicle operators who fail to take special care for the protection of other drivers can cause serious or even fatal injuries.

Congress understands the unique danger presented by commercial vehicles and has enacted federal trucking laws that require truckers to take adequate rest breaks and which require other precautions that are designed to reduce the frequency of trucking accidents. Unfortunately, truck driver errors are still the cause of many motor vehicle accidents.

Examples of truck driver errors include:

Speeding
Driver fatigue
Aggressive driving
Truck overloading and weight violations
Failure to properly secure loads
Failure to check brakes, tires, and lights
Failure to maintain a safe distance from other vehicles
Failure to take proper precautions in adverse weather conditions

Helping Truck Injury Victims Get Compensated

If someone close to you was killed in a truck accident including those involving a truck jackknife, you may be entitled to additional compensation for the loss of your loved one, and the loss of that person in providing for those left behind such as spouse, children and/or elderly parents.

Truck Accident Claims Are Distinct From Car Accident Claims

Personal injury lawsuits involving large commercial trucking accidents are distinct from other motor vehicle accident claims. Truckers are required to maintain commercial driver’s licenses and must abide by federal and state trucking laws and regulations. Truck accident cases may involve numerous defendants, including the negligent trucker, the truck company and even a negligent auto parts manufacturer. In addition, truck accident claims involve unique insurance coverage issues that must be properly addressed.

At Hacker Murphy, our Albany truck accident lawyers have extensive experience in truck accident claims. We rely on our extensive knowledge of trucking laws, the trucking industry and insurance coverage issues to provide the vigorous representation our clients need. We work diligently to hold negligent truckers responsible for their actions and strive to achieve the best possible results on behalf of each client we serve.

Hiring a Trusted Albany Truck Accident Lawyer

You vs. the trucking company is usually an unequal match. A larger corporation may have significant legal and financial resources available to make your truck accident lawsuit less effective or produce a smaller settlement compared to what you truly deserve. You may be tempted to trust them, and may want to quickly resolve matters related to the accident. At this point, it’s in your best interest to not discuss the case with the involved party or the insurance company until you consult with an attorney. Your truck injury lawyer is dedicated to protecting you, your rights, and your future.

“I can't recommend Julie highly enough for anyone needing legal assistance.”
I wanted to share my experience with Attorney Julie Nociolo. As an international student, I had zero idea about the legal process when I faced an academic integrity case with my university, especially with a prior violation on record. The stakes felt incredibly high. Julie was a lifesaver throughout. Her support, expertise, and quick responses were invaluable. She made sure I understood everything and guided me to a successful outcome. I can't recommend Julie highly enough for anyone needing legal assistance.

“Ultimately I was exonerated and I have James to thank as a big reason why.”
I utilized the services of James Knox to help on a complaint against my license. This was my first time ever needing an attorney and he was open and honest throughout the proceedings. He explained how the process works and made sure I understood each step as it went on. The entire process lasted over 3 years, and James kept in touch with me as updates rolled in. Ultimately I was exonerated and I have James to thank as a big reason why.

“I highly recommend this firm and Mr. Knox, especially. He knows what he is doing.”
Mr James Knox was my criminal attorney. I made a simple but stupid mistake which unbeknownst to myself, broke the law and was a felony which got reduced to a misdemeanor. He was confident from start to finish that he could keep me out of jail, He did. I ended up paying a fine. I highly recommend this firm and Mr. Knox, especially. He knows what he is doing. He is highly practiced and he cares. He was always happy to speak with me during his months working with me.

What is the difference between criminal procedure and civil procedure?

When a crime has been committed, action is taken by a government agency against the person, persons, organization or other entity that violated the law. The first purpose of a criminal prosecution is punishment, which frequently consists of a fine or jail time. In a civil matter, the dispute is between two or more individuals or entities. The first purpose of a civil prosecution is obtaining compensation for the wronged person or entity. Settlement in a civil matter is generally an award of a money judgment. A criminal sentence is not imposed in a civil matter.
