Baum Hedlund has investigated and represented families in more than 135 large truck accident cases across the nation. We have seen the devastation that is caused by accidents involving large commercial vehicles.

We have helped dozens of families deal with the aftermath of such tragedies. Many truck accident victims or their families hire our firm because of our many years of experience handling truck accident litigation and other forms of commercial transportation liability.

Baum Hedlund concentrates its practice on wrongful death and serious personal injury cases throughout the United States. The firm is listed in the Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers and maintains the highest *AV® peer review rating, obtained through a rigorous process conducted by the leading international lawyer directory, Martindale Hubbell.

About 5,000 people per year are killed in the United States by large trucks. Accidents involving trucks are among the most dangerous and most deadly in the nation.

Accidents involving commercial trucks require a higher level of skill and understanding of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's rules and regulations that regulate trucking companies. Baum Hedlund's truck accident lawyers keep up-to-date on the latest federal regulations and truck safety issues affecting all states.

Truck accident victims and their families have a right to seek personal injury and wrongful death damages against errant truck drivers and their companies. Any such lawsuit may well involve more than one state's law or court system, and numerous complex choices and decisions may have to be made to maximize recovery or streamline procedures.

Of course, the truth should come out so that these types of incidents do not occur again and the identity of each of those responsible should be exposed as well as safety improvements made. Additionally, there are usually a number of weak links in the chain of events which lead up to an injury or death – negligent operators, negligent supervision, poor maintenance, design flaws, failed parts, faulty reporting, etc. Each individual or group responsible for one or more factors may be called upon to pay a portion, or even all, of the compensation due the injured person or family members. Each of those entities may be situated in a different state and the harm may have occurred in yet another state.
