Overview

Truck accidents often leave people facing some of the most serious and life-changing injuries we see. Because of the size and weight of commercial trucks, these crashes can have devastating physical, emotional, and financial consequences for individuals and families. At MacGillis Law Group, we represent people across Wisconsin who have been injured in trucking accidents caused by negligence, unsafe driving, distracted driving, fatigue, or safety violations. We understand how overwhelming the aftermath can feel, and we work hard to help our clients understand their options, protect their rights, and move forward with confidence.

How we approach this

What we actually do for you.

01

Preserve the evidence

We move quickly to preserve evidence like driver logs, black box data, maintenance records, and surveillance footage before it disappears.

Investigate FMCSA Violations

We dig into hours-of-service violations, driver fatigue, distracted driving, improper training, maintenance failures, and other trucking safety violations that may have contributed to the crash.

03

Document the long term impact

We work to fully document how the truck accident has affected our client’s health, career, finances, and day-to-day life — not just the immediate aftermath.

04

Pursue full accountability

We build every case with the goal of holding trucking companies, insurers, and negligent drivers fully accountable for the harm they caused.

Common Questions

About Truck Accidents Cases

Who can be held responsible for a truck accident?

keyboard_arrow_down
Liability may extend beyond the truck driver alone. Depending on the case, the trucking company, trailer owner, maintenance provider, cargo company, or another third party may also be responsible.

What should I do after a truck accident?

keyboard_arrow_down
Seek medical attention immediately, document what you can, avoid speaking with the trucking company’s insurer alone, and speak with an attorney before accepting any settlement offer.

Why are truck accident cases different from regular car accidents?

keyboard_arrow_down
Truck accident cases often involve federal regulations, commercial insurance policies, corporate defendants, and critical evidence like black box data, driver logs, and maintenance records that must be preserved quickly.
