Any type of crash can be devastating, but the sheer size and weight of commercial trucks can make these types of collisions particularly dangerous. These cases are often complex, and there are often many parties involved. The company that owns the truck, or the organization that helped prepare it for transport, can also be involved, and you will need an attorney who can thoroughly investigate the incident to determine who is liable for your injuries and other damages.
