Accidents involving huge industrial and commercial trucks are among the most horrific of all motor vehicle accidents.

If you or a loved one have been seriously injured or killed as a result of an accident involving any type of commercial truck, trust the proven track record of Angotti & Straface Attorneys at Law. We get results. Call to request your free initial consultation: (304) 292-4381.
We represent the interests of individuals throughout the entire state of West Virginia who have been seriously injured through no fault of their own in accidents involving all types of large commercial trucks and industrial vehicles. These include:
Large commercial trucks carry a lot of things – including the potential for catastrophic injury and death. Because they are used to ship goods and supplies across the entire American Continent (and that is a pretty big area), there can be significant financial incentive for truck owners to bend and break the rules designed to keep those who share the road safe. In some cases, commercial truck owners have overloaded trucks and encouraged drivers to exceed the speed limit. We have also witnessed driver operators engaging in the following hazardous behaviors:
When passenger cars, trucks, vans, and SUVs are hit by huge commercial trucks, the results are often utterly devastating for the smaller vehicle, as well as the occupants inside. From deep lacerations and scars to decapitations and death, catastrophic injuries and fatalities are the rule, rather than the exception, in accidents involving tractor-trailers and industrial haulers. Some of the most common injuries we see include:
If a truck accident victim somehow manages to survive the impact, he is often left with terrible injuries that can take many years to heal. In some cases, the damage and limited quality of life is permanent and the individual will never be the same again. Head injuries often have few symptoms at first, resulting in victims falsely believing themselves to be uninjured and denying treatment only to develop symptoms such as unrelenting dizziness, confusion, vision deficiencies, nausea, and progressive and debilitating cognitive decline. In cases of traumatic brain injury and paralysis, the injury victim may require a lifetime of surgeries, specialized equipment, and 24/7 one-on-one nursing and personal care. A lifetime of medical and specialized care for catastrophic injuries can easily exceed $3 million dollars or more, depending on the exact diagnosis, the severity of the condition, and other relevant factors. The Angotti & Straface legal team strives to deliver superior results as West Virginia’s leader in personal injury law. We can help protect you and your family’s interests – and get you the money you deserve whether through settlement, judgment or at trial in West Virginia’s highest court.
