Why You Need a Truck Accident Lawyer

Truck accident cases are not like regular car accidents — they involve commercial insurance carriers, complex regulations, and corporate legal teams. The moment a crash happens, trucking companies and their insurers start building a defense. You need someone doing the same for you.

Here’s what we do:



• Investigate the cause of the crash and gather crucial evidence (dashcam, black box, logbooks)
• Determine all liable parties (driver, trucking company, maintenance, third-party contractors)
• Push back against insurance tactics meant to minimize your claim
• Fight for every form of compensation you’re entitled to — medical, emotional, financial
• 
  

We level the playing field so you don’t get pushed around.

Common Causes of Truck Accidents in Rhode Island

Most truck accidents are preventable — and many result from negligence, safety violations, or driver error.

Common causes we see include:



• Driver fatigue or Hours-of-Service violations
• Distracted or impaired driving
• Speeding or reckless maneuvers
• Poor truck maintenance or faulty brakes
• Overloaded or improperly secured cargo
• Inexperienced or poorly trained drivers

We know what to look for — and how to prove it.

What Compensation Can You Receive?

Truck accident claims often involve high damages — and we work to recover every cent.

You may be entitled to:

• Emergency and long-term medical care: We make sure you’re covered for ER visits, surgery, rehab, prescriptions, and any future treatments tied to your crash injuries.
• Lost wages and reduced earning capacity: If your injuries prevent you from returning to work now or permanently, we fight to recover full income loss and future career impact.
• Pain and suffering: We pursue damages for physical pain, emotional toll, and the disruption of your ability to enjoy life the way you once did.
• Rehabilitation and therapy: Ongoing treatment like physical therapy, occupational rehab, or mental health counseling can be costly — and should be fully covered.
• Property damage (vehicle, belongings): We seek reimbursement for your totaled vehicle, damaged personal property, and anything else lost in the crash.
• Emotional distress and PTSD: Crashes with large trucks often leave survivors with anxiety, panic attacks, depression, and nightmares — all of which deserve recognition.
• Funeral expenses and wrongful death damages: If you lost a loved one, we help cover funeral costs and seek full financial compensation on behalf of surviving family members.
• Punitive damages in extreme negligence cases: If the driver or company was grossly negligent — like DUI or falsifying logs — we may pursue punitive damages to hold them fully accountable.
  

Serious Injuries We Commonly Handle

Commercial trucks weigh up to 80,000 pounds — and even low-speed collisions can result in catastrophic injuries.

Who Can Be Held Liable in a Truck Accident?

Unlike a typical car accident, there may be multiple liable parties in a truck crash:



• The truck driver, if they acted negligently
• The trucking company, for improper hiring, training, or pressuring drivers to break rules
• A maintenance provider, if the truck wasn’t serviced properly
• A cargo loading company, if the load was unsafe or unbalanced
• The manufacturer, in cases involving defective brakes or parts

Ace Injury Attorneys investigates every angle — so no one escapes responsibility.
