Semi-Truck & 18-Wheeler Accident Lawyer

A collision with an 80,000-pound tractor-trailer is not a bigger car accident — it is a different legal event entirely. Commercial trucks operate under the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, carry commercial insurance policies and generate electronic evidence that passenger vehicles never do: engine control module data, electronic logging device records, dashcam footage, dispatch communications, driver qualification files and maintenance histories.

That evidence is also perishable. Motor carriers deploy rapid-response teams — investigators and defense counsel — often within hours of a serious crash. Data gets overwritten. Wreckage gets released. Witnesses scatter. The single most important step a family can take is retaining counsel who knows exactly which preservation demands to send and sends them immediately.

Joshua Leizerman, Esq. was among the first attorneys in the nation to earn Board Certification in Truck Accident Law from the National Board of Trial Advocacy and serves on the Board of Regents of the Academy of Truck Accident Attorneys. A U.S. Marine Corps veteran, he has devoted his entire legal career to truck crash litigation.

From evidence preservation through crash reconstruction, carrier safety-history analysis and trial, every semi-truck case at Leizerman Law is prepared as if it will be tried — because that preparation is the position of strength every settlement negotiation depends on.
