The scale of commercial vehicle crashes across the country is significant. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration data reports 171,274 large truck and bus crashes in 2024, resulting in 87,888 injuries and 4,872 fatalities.

Behind those numbers are people dealing with injuries that can permanently change their lives.

National Trial Law handles serious trucking and vehicle wreck cases as part of our catastrophic injury practice. These cases can involve commercial carriers, corporations, insurers, and, in some circumstances, government entities.

Our firm has over 55 years of experience of handling complex injury litigation and represent clients nationwide in cases where the consequences are substantial. https://www.nationaltriallaw.com/s/A3r2h6o

Suing the federal government is not the same as pursuing an ordinary personal injury claim.

The Federal Tort Claims Act has its own rules, procedures, and limitations. It is also an area in which National Trial Law has built significant experience, handling FTCA cases nationwide and securing some of the largest judgments and settlements under the Act.

Our work has involved claims arising from federal medical facilities, military hospitals, government negligence, and other serious circumstances involving federal agencies.

When the defendant is the United States government, the law firm on the other side needs to understand the system it is entering. FTCA litigation is a major part of what we do. https://www.nationaltriallaw.com/s/d055R5b

For us, representing someone after a serious medical injury is about more than the case itself. It is about treating clients and their families with kindness, respect, and genuine care throughout the process.

We are grateful when clients recognize not only the work we put into their case, but also the relationships built along the way. Earning that level of trust is something our team never takes for granted.

Highway truck wrecks can cause devastating, life-changing injuries, and the legal issues that follow are often far more complex than those in a typical vehicle collision.

Cases against the federal government operate under a different set of rules than claims involving private defendants. Federal Tort Claims Act litigation begins with an administrative claim and involve strict requirements, agency investigations, and complex questions of government liability.

National Trial Law is a nationwide law firm with extensive experience handling FTCA cases involving medical negligence, serious motor vehicle wrecks, and other harm caused by federal employees and agencies. Our attorneys have pursued these cases from the administrative stage through trial and appeal.

We had two successful FTCA trials in 2026. We secured an $8.6 million judgment in a postal truck FTCA case. We also secured an $11 million settlement following an FTCA birth injury trial.

If you think you have an FTCA claim contact a firm that has FTCA tiral experience. https://www.nationaltriallaw.com/s/A9S7t2B

The warning was already in writing. Recent developments involving hospital safety failures, VA medical care, commercial driver licensing, and a Supreme Court case highlight the importance of documentation when investigating serious injuries.

For injured individuals and their families, medical records, inspection reports, regulatory findings, and other documentation can provide critical evidence about what went wrong. Read our latest blog to learn why the paper trail may matter more than you think.

Recent hospital errors, VA failures, CDL enforcement and a Supreme Court case reveal why documented warnings and paper trails matter in injury claims.

A commercial truck wreck may involve far more than the actions of one driver. Trucking companies, contractors, cargo operators, maintenance providers, and other corporate entities may each play a role in the circumstances that caused the crash.

Identifying where responsibility lies requires a detailed investigation of company records, driver logs, vehicle data, maintenance histories, and compliance with federal trucking regulations.

National Trial Law is a nationwide law firm with the experience and financial resources to pursue complex trucking cases involving catastrophic injuries and powerful corporate defendants.

Distracted driving is one of the most common causes of serious wrecks on American roads. In 2023, an estimated 324,819 people were injured in distraction-related crashes, accounting for 13% of all people injured in traffic collisions that year.

Proving distraction may require more than a police report. Phone records, vehicle data, surveillance footage, witness testimony, and other evidence can help establish what a driver was doing in the moments before impact.

National Trial Law is a nationwide law firm with over 50 years of experience handling serious motor vehicle cases. This year, we obtained a trial verdict of over $8.6 million in a distracted driving case. We have the resources to investigate catastrophic wrecks and pursue accountability when a driver’s inattention causes lasting harm.
