Legal Advocacy for Victims of Truck Collisions and Motorcycle Crashes
Severe injuries. Complex liability. We fight for maximum compensation after devastating truck and motorcycle crashes.
Collisions With Trucks or Motorcycles Are Never “Minor”
We Represent Victims in Serious, High-Impact Accidents Involving Commercial Vehicles and Motorcycles
Truck and motorcycle accidents are among the most catastrophic crashes on the road. When a fully loaded 18-wheeler collides with a passenger car, or when a motorcyclist is thrown from their bike, the injuries are often life-altering—or even fatal. These cases demand immediate legal action and experienced representation.
At Pedro L. Salim Law Firm, we represent individuals who’ve suffered major injuries due to the negligence of truck drivers, trucking companies, or inattentive motorists. Whether the crash involved a delivery vehicle, commercial rig, or personal motorcycle, we investigate the scene, preserve critical evidence, and pursue full compensation for our clients’ physical, emotional, and financial losses.
If your accident resulted in a traumatic brain injury or led to a wrongful death claim, we’ll fight aggressively to hold all responsible parties accountable.
These Cases Are Different—And Require a Different Kind of Lawyer
Truck and Motorcycle Accidents Require Deep Knowledge of Safety Regulations, Physics, and Insurance Games
Trucking companies and their insurers often respond to accidents with immediate legal teams, investigators, and aggressive settlement tactics. Motorcycle accidents, meanwhile, are plagued by bias—insurers often blame the rider, regardless of the facts. That’s why victims need a legal team who knows how to shift the narrative and win with evidence.
We help clients in cases involving:
- 18-wheeler, semi, and box truck collisions
- Accidents caused by improper truck maintenance or brake failure
- Motorcycle crashes at intersections and blind spots
- Commercial delivery vehicles (Amazon, UPS, FedEx)
- Truck driver fatigue, logbook violations, or hours-of-service issues
- Lane-splitting motorcycle accidents and unsafe merges
- Distracted, aggressive, or impaired drivers
- Roadway debris or construction zone hazards
If your crash involved a
DUI,
drug-impaired driving, or resulted in
criminal charges for another party, we coordinate evidence and legal strategy to strengthen your civil claim.
Jackknife and Rollover Accidents
These dangerous crashes often involve shifting cargo, speed, or mechanical failures—and frequently cause multi-vehicle pileups.
Blind Spot Motorcycle Collisions
Motorcycles are easily missed by larger vehicles. When drivers fail to check mirrors before turning or merging, tragedy can result.
Left Turn Motorcycle Accidents
A common crash type where drivers misjudge the speed or distance of an oncoming motorcycle—often with catastrophic consequences.
Tire Blowouts and Equipment Failures
We investigate whether a crash was caused by negligence in vehicle maintenance or defective parts, sometimes leading to
product liability claims
Hit-and-Run or Uninsured Drivers
If the at-fault party fled the scene or carried no insurance, we pursue compensation through your own policy and explore
personal injury claim strategies.
