When a crash involves a commercial truck, success isn’t just about filing paperwork—it’s about building a rock-solid case from day one. At Manchin Injury Law Group, we focus on results by being thorough, strategic, and client-focused.
We begin by listening to your story and identifying every liable party—from the driver to the company behind the wheel. Our team gathers physical evidence, secures expert evaluations, and communicates with insurers so you don’t have to. Whether you’re dealing with a life-altering injury or long-term recovery, we’re here to reduce the legal stress and keep you informed at every step.
Most importantly, we’re trial-ready. If the insurance company won’t offer what you deserve, we won’t hesitate to take your case to court.
Truck accident cases often involve more than just one negligent driver. You could be facing legal teams from the trucking company, vehicle manufacturers, cargo loaders, and even third-party maintenance providers. Each one is focused on minimizing their responsibility—and your compensation.
That’s why having the right lawyer matters. At Manchin Injury Law Group, we understand how to navigate this tangled web. We know how to uncover violations, challenge industry practices, and stand up to powerful insurers. Whether it’s a logbook violation, a missed safety inspection, or a fatigued driver pushed to meet a deadline, we investigate thoroughly and build a case that holds every responsible party accountable.
And if you’re worried about legal fees—don’t be. You pay nothing unless we win. Contact us today for a free, confidential consultation.
Truck accidents remain a significant concern in West Virginia, with recent data highlighting the risks associated with large commercial vehicles on our roads. According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), between 2020 and 2022, West Virginia experienced an average of 34 fatalities annually due to crashes involving large trucks.
In 2021 alone, the state reported 46 fatalities from such incidents, marking a notable increase from previous years . These accidents predominantly occur on rural roads, which comprise a substantial portion of West Virginia’s transportation network.
Understanding the factors contributing to these accidents is crucial. Common causes include driver fatigue, mechanical failures, and challenging road conditions. The FMCSA’s data emphasizes the need for continued vigilance and adherence to safety regulations to mitigate these risks.
If you or a loved one has been affected by a truck accident in West Virginia, it’s essential to seek experienced legal counsel. Our team is dedicated to helping victims navigate the complexities of truck accident claims and secure the compensation they deserve.
After a truck accident, the legal process starts by identifying the cause and collecting evidence. This includes crash reports, photos, medical records, and any witness statements. Preserving this information early can make a major difference in your case.
Next, you’ll want to speak with a lawyer who understands how truck cases work. Our attorneys know the specific rules that apply to commercial vehicles and can help you understand your options. Once we assess the facts, we build a strategy that fits your situation.
If your case moves forward, we file a lawsuit against those responsible—whether it’s the driver, the trucking company, or even the manufacturer. During the discovery phase, both sides exchange more evidence, gather expert input, and prepare for the next step.
At this point, most cases are negotiated. We work hard to reach a settlement that fully reflects your medical costs, lost income, and long-term impact. If the offer isn’t fair, we’re ready to go to trial to fight for what you’re owed.
Truck crashes often involve multiple parties—like the driver, the trucking company, or even the vehicle manufacturer—and are governed by both state and federal regulations. That makes these cases more complex and evidence-heavy.
Truck accidents can cause severe harm, including spinal cord injuries, brain trauma, broken bones, internal bleeding, and long-term disabilities. These injuries often require extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation.
Common causes include driver fatigue, speeding, overloaded cargo, mechanical failure, or poor weather. We investigate each case to uncover what really happened—and who’s responsible.
We look at crash reports, driver logs, maintenance records, and black box data to identify negligence. Multiple parties may share liability in a single crash.
FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration) rules govern commercial truck safety. If a company or driver violated these rules, it can be strong evidence of negligence in your claim.
The size and weight of 18-wheelers make these crashes far more dangerous. Injuries are usually more severe, and federal regulations create additional legal hurdles.
You may be eligible for medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, long-term care, and more. We help you pursue the full value of your claim.
In most cases, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a claim. Missing this deadline can prevent you from recovering damages.
