Olympia Truck Accident Lawyer

Injured in a Truck Accident in Olympia?

A collision with a commercial truck can be devastating. These massive vehicles weigh 20 to 30 times more than a passenger car and can cause catastrophic injuries in seconds.

If you or someone you love was injured in a crash involving a semi-truck, box truck, delivery vehicle, or tractor-trailer in the Olympia area, Morgan Hill PC is here to help. We represent individuals and families throughout Thurston County who’ve been seriously harmed in truck accidents.

We understand the high stakes involved, and we know how to hold trucking companies accountable.

How Truck Accidents Are Different

Truck accidents are more complex than typical car crashes. Here’s why:

  • Multiple liable parties; the driver, trucking company, maintenance provider, or shipper could all be responsible.
  • Federal and state regulations; truck drivers and companies must follow strict safety rules set by the FMCSA.
  • More serious injuries are due to the size and weight of commercial trucks.
  • Stronger legal defense; trucking companies often have legal teams on standby to minimize their liability.

Our attorneys have experience with these complexities and know how to preserve evidence, subpoena driver logs, and establish fault when the other side refuses to cooperate.

Common Causes of Truck Crashes

Truck accidents in and around Olympia are often caused by:

  • Driver fatigue (violating hours-of-service rules)
  • Distracted driving or cellphone use
  • Speeding or unsafe lane changes
  • Overloaded or improperly secured cargo
  • Poor truck maintenance or mechanical failures
  • Driving under the influence

We’ll investigate the cause and help determine exactly who’s responsible for your injuries.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

If a negligent truck driver or company caused your injuries, you may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Medical expenses and rehabilitation
  • Future treatment and care
  • Lost income and earning potential
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Property damage
  • Wrongful death (if you lost a loved one in the crash)

We can help you assess the full value of your case and make sure the insurance company doesn’t lowball you.
