Multiple Parties May Be Liable
The driver, the trucking company, the cargo loader, and even the truck manufacturer can all share responsibility. We identify every source of recovery.
Hit by a semi, delivery truck, or 18-wheeler? The Des Moines truck accident attorneys at Duff Law Firm, P.L.C hold negligent drivers and trucking companies accountable for the serious harm they cause.
A loaded semi can weigh up to 80,000 pounds. When one collides with a passenger vehicle on I-35, I-80, or Highway 5, the injuries are often catastrophic and the legal issues far more complex than a standard car crash.
Trucking companies send investigators to the scene within hours. You need a truck accident lawyer who moves just as fast to preserve evidence and protect your rights.
Large carriers have teams of lawyers and adjusters working to minimize what they pay you. Our Des Moines truck accident attorneys have the resources and experience to push back, whether through negotiation or at trial. We represent injured clients across Iowa, with most cases coming from Polk, Story, Dallas, Warren, Linn, Johnson, Woodbury, and Dubuque Counties.
Most commercial truck wrecks trace back to preventable mistakes. We regularly handle cases involving driver fatigue and hours-of-service violations, improper training or unlicensed drivers, unsecured or overloaded cargo, poor truck maintenance, distracted driving, and speeding on Iowa interstates.
When a trucking company cuts corners to meet deadlines, innocent drivers pay the price. Our job is to make sure they don’t pay it alone.
Insurance adjusters for commercial carriers are trained to protect their employer, not you. Before you give a statement or accept an offer, talk with a Des Moines truck accident lawyer who will put your recovery first.
