We’re Here To Help
When an 18-wheeler or commercial truck is involved in a serious or fatal accident, it can quickly become far more complex than a typical car wreck. Nevada’s trucking laws and federal regulations add further challenges, involving driver schedules, cargo handling, and vehicle maintenance. Determining liability can be difficult, as responsibility may fall on the driver, trucking company, cargo loaders, or others — each with insurers aiming to limit payouts.
A skilled Nevada truck accident lawyer is essential to navigate these complexities and protect your rights. Connect with us today because you deserve What’s Right.

Truck Accidents Are More Dangerous
Tractor-trailer accidents are different from regular car crashes because of the serious hazards these large trucks present:
- Tire blowouts — The weight and stress of a tractor-trailer can cause tires to fail, making it easy for the driver to lose control.
- Large blind spots — Truck drivers may not see nearby vehicles, increasing the risk of a collision.
- Rollover risk — Trucks have a high center of gravity and can tip over on curves, ramps, or in high winds.
- Underride accidents — Smaller vehicles can slide underneath a truck during a crash, often causing severe or fatal injuries. Rear guards help prevent this, but side underride accidents can still happen.

Answering Your Questions
If the truck driver fell asleep and caused the accident, can I pursue a claim against the driver’s employer?
You often can. In many cases, an employer can be held liable for its employee’s negligence during the time that the employee is working in the course and scope of employment. The employer may also be held liable for negligence for failing to properly hire, train, and supervise the employee who caused the accident.
What should I do if an insurance adjuster contacts me?
If an insurance adjuster contacts you, refer them to your lawyer to handle any questions or discussions. Your lawyer knows how to handle truck accident cases and can communicate the detailed information that an insurance company needs as part of your truck accident claim.
Can I handle a truck accident claim without a lawyer?
While some people may try to handle a truck accident claim without a lawyer, it’s not a good idea if you are struggling to cope with injuries from the crash. A truck accident case can involve multiple insurers who each have lawyers of their own. When you have a lawyer on your side, you can rest assured that a professional is looking out for your best interests.
