When you’re involved in a truck accident, the aftermath can be devastating—physically, emotionally, and financially. At The Robert Pahlke Law Group, our Wyoming truck accident injury attorneys have more than 30 years of experience representing individuals injured in serious semi-truck accidents across Wyoming and neighboring states. We’ve successfully recovered millions of dollars for victims harmed in a variety of large vehicle crashes, including:
- Accidents caused by distracted or speeding truck drivers
- Collisions with commercial trucks making unmarked turns across highways at night
- Crashes involving parked vehicles on interstates struck by semi-trucks
- Wrecks involving livestock on open roadways
- Dangerous or unlawful passing maneuvers by truck drivers
- Mechanical failures like unsecured lug nuts causing catastrophic accidents
Truck Accidents in Wyoming: Why They’re So Dangerous
Large commercial trucks can weigh 20 to 30 times more than a standard vehicle, making even a low-speed collision potentially catastrophic.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a truck accident in Wyoming, it’s vital to work with a team of semi-truck collision lawyers who are experienced in navigating the complex web of liability, regulations, and insurance defenses that often come with these cases.
Our Track Record of Success
At The Robert Pahlke Law Group, we don’t just take on trucking companies—we hold them accountable. In one recent case, we secured a $3.25 million verdict for a client seriously injured when a truck rear-ended his vehicle. Every case is different, but our team of experienced truck accident injury attorneys bring Wyoming drivers the same diligence, strategy, and fierce advocacy we give to every client we represent.
Common Injuries in Truck Accidents
Because of the massive size and force of commercial trucks, these accidents often cause:
- Traumatic brain injuries and concussions
- Spinal cord trauma and paralysis
- Broken bones or crush injuries
- Burns and scarring
- Amputations
- Internal injuries and whiplash
Our Wyoming truck accident injury attorneys also assist surviving families in filing wrongful death claims when a truck crash leads to fatal consequences.
Who’s Liable in a Truck Crash?
Semi-Truck collision accidents often involve more than one liable party. We carefully investigate your case to identify all responsible entities, which may include:
- Truck drivers who were fatigued, distracted, or impaired
- Trucking companies that failed to maintain vehicles or that enforced illegal driving schedules
- Parts manufacturers if equipment failure contributed to the accident
- Government agencies responsible for unsafe road conditions or poor signage
Types of Damages You May Recover
If you were injured in a truck accident in Wyoming, our injury attorneys may be able to get you compensation for:
- Emergency medical care and hospital bills
- Lost income and reduced future earning capacity
- Long-term rehabilitation or assisted living costs
- Home modifications for accessibility
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress and loss of consortium
How Insurance Companies Try to Shift the Blame
Insurance and trucking companies often deploy tactics to avoid full responsibility. They may:
- Argue that you were partially at fault
- Minimize your injuries
- Offer quick, lowball settlements
- Distance themselves from the driver by labeling them an “independent contractor”
Wyoming uses a modified comparative fault system, meaning your compensation can be reduced if you’re partially at fault—and if you’re found 50% or more responsible, you may recover nothing. Our attorneys understand Wyoming truck injury law, have experience handling these strategies with insurance and trucking companies, and build strong cases to push back.
