We have years of experience fighting against trucking companies and winning cases for our clients who have experienced a truck accident injury just like you. We have the legal knowledge and experience needed to take on these big companies and fight for what is fair for you.
As the trucking industry continues to call for less strict safety regulations, accidents involving large trucks are on the rise. In fact, there are around 500,000 trucking accidents each year in the United States alone.
If you or your loved one was the victim of a collision with an 18-wheeler, we are here to help. Contact us today to get started with your free case review.
Experiencing an accident can feel devastating. Aside from the injuries sustained, there is your totaled vehicle, your lost time from work, the mounting medical and insurance bills. How will you afford a lawyer on top of all that?
Here at Frank Penney Injury Lawyers, we accept personal injury cases on a contingency basis. This means that there are no out-of-pocket costs to retain one of our dedicated truck accident lawyers. We accept payment only after we win your case. If you do not win, we do not get paid, that is how confident we are in our industry knowledge and expertise.
We know how challenging these times can be, so it is our mission to lessen the burden by offering our comprehensive, professional services without any money upfront. When it comes to trucking accidents, the stakes are high. This may be your first time experiencing an incident with an 18-wheeler, but you can bet that it is not the trucking company’s first go around. We know what it takes to win your case.
What Causes a Commercial Vehicle Accident?
Unfortunately, while 18-wheelers are a much-needed component of our infrastructure and economy, crashes are common. Commercial trucks crash for a variety of reasons, including:
When working with our clients, we work with the best experts in the industry to identify the exact cause of the accident, and then we hold all negligent parties responsible for the injuries and damages you suffered.
What Makes Accidents Involving 18-wheelers So Dangerous?
Accidents involving large trucks are some of the most dangerous and
fatal accidents you can experience on the road. There are several reasons why 18-wheelers are so dangerous, including:
THEY HAUL HEAVY LOADS
When a commercial truck is fully loaded, it can weigh up to 400 tons. The average car weighs just 1 ton. That means that 18-wheelers can be up to 400 times heavier than the other vehicles they are sharing the road with. When faced with a collision, the massive weight of the truck is no match for the other vehicles on the road, which sadly leads to serious injuries, property damage, and often death.
THEY NEED TIME AND SPACE TO STOP
18-wheelers cannot stop on a dime when a threat appears. They need time to slow down and come to a complete stop, which can be up to 40% more time than it takes an average car to do the same.
THEY HAVE MAJOR BLIND SPOTS
If you have ever driven next to a large truck, you may have noticed the warning that reads something to the effect of “If you can’t see my mirrors, I can’t see you.” Unlike all other vehicles on the road, commercial trucks lack a rear window, therefore they must rely on their mirrors to see what is behind them. Considering the size of the truck, there are massive blind spots to deal with.
What Makes A Good Truck Accident Lawyer?
At Frank Penney Injury Lawyers, we have a demonstrated history of getting results for our clients who have been the victims of a commercial trucking accident. In fact, we have fought so fervently and won so many cases for our clients that we have become known as the number one 18-wheeler accident lawyer.
Our team of truck accident attorneys has decades of experience with 18-wheeler litigation cases, and we are ready to employ all our legal expertise and resources to help you win your case. We pay for all costs upfront for you. You do not owe us anything until your case is won.
We have helped countless victims to recover the injury compensation they are owed. Our 18-wheeler accident attorneys will work tirelessly to ensure you get the legal representation you need and the compensation you deserve.
Do not try to take on big trucking on your own; their goal is to deny or minimize your case, avoid taking responsibility, and neglect to pay out the financial compensation that’s due. The experienced lawyers at Frank Penney Injury Lawyers are here to give you the legal representation you need to stand up to commercial trucking companies and get the compensation you deserve so that you can move on with your life.
If you were involved in a wreck with an 18-wheeler, semi-truck, big rig, or any commercial truck, it is important to act quickly. We want to make sure that you are compensated If the careless actions of a semi-truck driver resulted in serious injuries for you. Your compensation depends on the severity of your injuries, your medical expenses after the accident, and if your life is severely altered following the accident. If you have endured pain and suffering, we want to fight for your rights and make sure you are properly awarded. When you hire our team, we stand by your side and offer the best legal representation. You can bank on Frank! Give us a call today. We can be reached at
888-888-0566.
We have helped our clients involved in big rig accidents recover millions. If you can’t go back to work, and medical bills are piling up due to the accident, you deserve to be compensated, especially if you were not at fault. Do not try to fight this alone. It is almost impossible to get results if you try to sue the trucking company or settle with the insurance company alone. Most are not successful without an experienced lawyer representing them. The insurance company will try to deny or minimize fault for their role in the crash because they do not see you as a threat and won’t take you seriously. You need a team by your side, fighting for you and your rights. We know how insurance companies operate and we will help you get compensated.
Our client contacted us after a big rig collision that resulted in back, shoulder, and neck injuries. As a result of the truck accident, he had to undergo neck surgery; specifically, an anterior cervical discectomy with decompression. This is an operation that helps relieve pain, weakness, numbness, and tingling by removing a damaged disc to relieve pressure […]

“This is a Rockstar Firm!”
Priscilla was awesome! My wife and I were in a major accident and were not at fault. We tried working with the insurance company of the driver at fault and they would not work with us. Priscilla was able to take the stress off of us and did everything she could to make it as easy as possible. This is a Rockstar firm and I would send anyone I know to them!

“James and Priscilla Fought Both Harder & Smarter on My Behalf”
After I was injured in a substantial rear-end collision, I knew I was going to need some serious help in the days ahead, so I contacted Frank Penney right away, which turned out to be a very smart move as I quickly learned that the opposition had next to no thoughts of offering me any reasonable compensation for my injuries, medical bills and lost earnings. The other insurance company fought hard to avoid accepting responsibility but James and Priscilla fought both harder and smarter on my behalf. I was shocked when my case ultimately went all the way to trial, but I was impressed watching James deliver a solid victory for my case, a victory that not only met but exceeded our last demand. I hope I am never hurt in another collision, but if I am, I’ll be returning to Frank Penney and his staff. Thanks to James and Priscilla for getting me a such positive outcome.

“Understanding and Helpful Throughout This Very Hard Time”
Frank D. Penney Law office was such a pleasure to work with. After interviewing several other law offices to handle our case we knew we would allow Frank D. Penney to take our case the moment he left the room. His office was able to make our four individual cases run smoothly together. They were so understanding and so helpful throughout this very hard time we’ve all had to live through. They were very professional yet personable from the secretary to the top from day one. Individually and as a group in regards to the office I think I speak for all four of us when I say how much of a blessing this office has been to us. I highly recommend this office for any personal injury cases, I know you will not be disappointed.

“They Were Very Up-Front and Honest with Me”
My experience with Frank Penney’s Law Firm has been wonderful. They were very up-front and honest with me and were able to seek the maximum reimbursement for my injuries. I hope I am in a position that I will ever need an attorney again, but if I am, I will come back!

“I Received the Maximum Policy Pay-outs”
In May 2014, I was rear ended on my way home from work. I knew early on that physically, there was something wrong. As the primary earner for my family, my greatest concern was ending up with substantial debt as a result of the cost of my need for ongoing medical care. Frank’s staff was very helpful in putting me at ease by ensuring that I always received regular updates on the status of my case. Then, in October 2015, I was rear ended on my way to work. A second rear ender? Really? I couldn’t believe it. It was unfathomable; I was absolutely frazzled and flabbergasted. But yet again, Frank and his staff were incredibly supportive in helping me navigate what was now an even more complex situation.
After two years and having to endure constant doctors appointments, constantly getting prescriptions and finally the process of having titanium rods hammered in to my hip/SI joint, Priscilla specifically, was incredibly effective at ensuring that I received the maximum policy pay outs that spanned across three different insurance companies. The payouts were sufficient to cover the medical costs and then some. Ultimately, these accidents have changed my life and have limited my physical abilities. The impact to me impacts my family but I cannot imagine having to manage this ridiculous situation without the support of Frank’s team (Priscilla, James, Elsa, Rachel and Yuri). If you need support and want to be treated like a person in the process, Frank Penney’s firm is the firm for you.

“Recommend Friends & Family to This Law Firm”
They were awesome. Very professional and would recommend friends and family to this law firm. I would definitely come back. My attorney was Priscilla and she was great! Answered all my calls and if I left her a voicemail she would call right back.

“The Best Decision I Ever Made”
Call Frank Penney Law and let go of your worry and frustration and secure needed funds for future possible medical care. We were rear ended and our SUV totaled. Our family had just moved to NC from CA. My daughter and I were together in the car and were injured from the accident. Our first priority was getting better and finding the proper medical care that would lead to a full recovery. I also had to deal with the auto and medical insurance companies and all the bills that start coming in the mail after receiving needed medical treatment. It was becoming overwhelming and then came all sorts of letters in the mail from lawyers that wanted our case. I didn’t feel comfortable with any of their attempts to get my business. But I needed help. I called Frank, since I had known him when we lived in CA, and when he explained how he and his staff could help me and basically take everything off my plate that was stressing me out and that our physical location across the country didn’t matter, I said “yes, please help us.” Frank talked with me as if he had all the time in the world and I felt completely comfortable turning everything over to him. The settlement was more than I could have received on my own and the fact that I could hand it all over to him to resolve was without a doubt worth it! It was the best decision I ever made throughout this process. We were supported by Frank’s knowledgeable staff. I can, without hesitation, recommend Penney law offices with the highest praise.
