Philadelphia Truck Accident Attorneys: Your Legal Advocates After a Serious Crash
Philadelphia’s roads are constantly busy with commercial trucks delivering goods to and from the city. But the consequences can be devastating when a tractor-trailer or 18-wheeler is involved in a crash. The size and weight of commercial trucks make them far more dangerous than passenger vehicles, and when negligence is involved, the results are often catastrophic.
Our Philadelphia truck accident attorneys have decades of experience handling complex truck crash claims at Munley Law Personal Injury Lawyers. We know the trucking industry, the federal regulations they must follow, and how to hold negligent parties accountable for your injuries and losses.

Truck accidents differ from regular car crashes in several key ways. First, they often involve multiple parties, including:
The truck driver
The trucking company
Maintenance contractors
Freight loaders
Vehicle or parts manufacturers
Third-party logistics providers
Each party may share liability, and all will have their legal representation. Trucking companies are prepared to fight claims quickly and aggressively, so you need a legal team that knows how to take them on.
We act fast to preserve critical evidence, including:
Black box (electronic logging device) data
Driver logs
Truck maintenance and inspection records
Surveillance and dashcam footage
Accident scene photos
Witness statements
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulates the trucking industry, which enforces safety rules that limit drive time, require regular inspections, and demand proper training. If a company or driver violates these rules, it can be used as evidence of negligence in your case.
Common causes of truck crashes include:
Driver fatigue or hours-of-service violations
Distracted or impaired driving
Improper loading of cargo
Brake failure or tire blowouts
Speeding or reckless driving
Lack of driver training
Failure to inspect or maintain the vehicle
Our attorneys investigate every detail of your accident to uncover the cause, prove liability, and secure full compensation.
Truck accident victims often suffer severe, life-altering injuries, including:
Spinal cord injuries
Traumatic brain injuries
Amputations
Crushed limbs and fractures
Burns and disfigurement
Internal bleeding and organ damage
Fatal injuries (leading to wrongful death claims)
We work with medical professionals, life care planners, and financial experts to calculate your long-term care needs and pursue every dollar you’re owed.
You may be entitled to compensation for:
Emergency medical care and hospitalization
Ongoing medical treatment
Rehabilitation and physical therapy
Lost wages and loss of future earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Emotional distress
Disfigurement and scarring
Funeral and burial costs (for wrongful death cases)
Punitive damages in cases of extreme negligence
