When Power Meets Negligence

A truck accident isn’t just another crash. A fully loaded tractor-trailer can weigh up to 80,000 pounds, and when it collides with a car, the results are catastrophic. Victims often face severe injuries, long-term medical care, and overwhelming bills, all because a company or driver cut corners on safety.

At Kwartler Manus, our truck accident attorneys in Philadelphia, don’t wait for the trucking company to dictate the timeline. We act immediately: preserving black box data, contacting witnesses, and demanding maintenance records before they disappear. Our attorneys are known for pushing cases forward, not letting the defense stall. When the stakes are this high, you need a firm that’s ready for trial from day one.

The Reality of Truck Crashes in Philadelphia

Philadelphia’s highways, I-95, I-76, and Route 1, are among the busiest corridors in the Northeast. Every day, commercial trucks move through Center City, the port districts, and suburban delivery routes. That volume brings risk.

Most trucking collisions are preventable. They happen when drivers speed to meet schedules, ignore rest limits, or operate rigs they barely maintain. The consequences are devastating: multi-vehicle pileups, highway shutdowns, and life-changing injuries for those in smaller vehicles.

Our team handles every aspect of these cases, from reconstructing the accident scene to confronting national insurance carriers that specialize in delay and denial.

Who Can Be Held Liable After a Truck Accident

Truck cases are complex because they rarely involve just one negligent party. We dig into every layer of responsibility: from the driver to the company that hired them.

Liable parties can include:

  • The truck driver who violated safety laws or drove fatigued
  • The trucking company that pushed unrealistic delivery schedules
  • Cargo loaders responsible for improperly secured freight
  • Maintenance contractors who neglected vital inspections
  • Manufacturers of defective brakes, tires, or steering systems

We obtain records that most firms never think to request, logbooks, electronic data, and internal safety communications, and use them to prove fault beyond question.

Why Truck Accidents Happen

While each case is unique, certain failures appear again and again in our investigations. Most trucking collisions involve some combination of speed, fatigue, and corporate negligence.

Truck drivers often face pressure to meet tight delivery deadlines. Many drive beyond federally mandated rest limits or falsify logbooks to appear compliant. In other cases, worn tires, brake failures, or unsecured cargo make disaster inevitable.

These are not random accidents; they are the result of choices. And when those choices put innocent people at risk, we make sure the consequences are severe.

Injuries and Losses We See Most Often

Because of the size and force involved, truck crashes often cause catastrophic harm. Our clients have suffered:

  • Traumatic brain and spinal injuries
  • Crushed limbs or amputations
  • Internal organ damage
  • Severe burns or lacerations
  • Permanent disability or wrongful death

The physical toll is immense, but the financial impact can be equally devastating. We work with medical experts and economists to quantify every loss, from hospital bills to lost future income, and fight for full compensation.

How We Build a Winning Case

We treat every truck case as if it’s going to trial. That preparation creates leverage. Our process begins with rapid evidence preservation — obtaining electronic logging device (ELD) data, dispatch records, and inspection logs before the trucking company can alter them.

We also hire accident reconstruction experts to analyze the scene and determine the true cause of impact. When we present a case, it’s supported by proof, not speculation. That’s why insurance carriers know they can’t lowball our clients; they either pay fair value or face us in court.

What Compensation Covers

Victims of truck accidents are often entitled to compensation for both immediate and long-term damages, including:

  • Emergency medical treatment and rehabilitation
  • Lost wages and reduced earning potential
  • Pain, suffering, and emotional trauma
  • Property damage and vehicle replacement
  • Loss of consortium or companionship in fatal cases

Our attorneys make sure every category of harm is documented and accounted for. We don’t just aim for settlement; we aim for recovery that rebuilds lives.
