At Studinski Law, LLC, our legal team is highly experienced in truck accident cases across the state, including but not limited to:
In many situations, truck accidents in Wisconsin Rapids and virtually anywhere else are caused by the driver’s negligence. A trucker may get careless after working a long period of time that day. Or, a trucker may get overly confident and attempt a dangerous maneuver. Whatever the trucker’s reasoning, their carelessness is inexcusable. Other trucking accidents are not caused by the driver, but instead, by someone else involved in the trucking company. Those in charge of the maintenance of the truck may have cut corners, skipped an inspection, or lied about conducting a repair. When a vehicle as large and complicated as a semi-truck is not well taken care of, the risk of an accident significantly increases.

Trucking accidents often lead to serious and catastrophic injuries. That is because commercial trucks are typically larger and heavier than your vehicle. No matter your vehicle’s safety features, it cannot overcome a semi-truck that weighs up to 80,000 pounds, particularly when the truck is moving at 65 mph on the highway.
At Studinski Law, LLC, we have handled truck accident cases involving:
We understand that your injuries may be overwhelming right now. You may be looking at months of medical care and rehabilitation. That equates to months of pain and discomfort. It also means being out of work; unable to support yourself and your family. We also understand that you may not be able to ever fully recover from your truck accident injuries. You may experience a disfigurement or permanent physical limitations from the crash. These are all reasons for hiring a highly experienced and determined personal injury attorney. You deserve to have a Wisconsin Rapids truck accident lawyer by your side, fighting for you to receive as much compensation as possible.
One of the reasons truck accidents are typically more complicated than standard car crashes is because liability may not rest entirely on the truck driver’s shoulders. The trucker might be liable if they were careless or reckless while behind the wheel. However, the truck driver’s employer may also be responsible for the trucker’s actions under the law in certain situations. The company’s own negligence in hiring, training, or supervising the trucker may be to blame. The company could also be negligent in failing to properly maintain the truck itself or incorrectly loading and securing the truck’s cargo.
Additionally, the truck or a parts manufacturer may be liable. If the truck had a manufacturing defect, you may have a legal claim against the manufacturer. If a specific part had a design or manufacturing defect, the parts manufacturer might be liable.
It is one thing to be sure of who is at fault for your accident and injuries; it is another matter to prove liability in court. Our Wisconsin Rapids truck accident lawyers will take full advantage of the discovery process and conduct our own investigation to obtain:
We will utilize all of this information to determine why the accident happened and who was negligent under the law. From there, our lawyers will present this evidence to the court in a way that demonstrates the other party’s liability and your right to compensation.
Trucking accidents are far different than car crashes, which is why, if you were hurt in an accident with a truck, you need an attorney specifically experienced with Wisconsin truck accidents. A general personal injury, or even an experienced car accident lawyer, may not have the knowledge and experience you need to obtain the maximum compensation possible.
Truck accidents are often far more serious than car crashes with more severe injuries. This typically results in higher settlements and verdicts, which are achievable due to commercial vehicle liability insurance. Commercial vehicles like semi-trucks will have considerably higher policy limits than the average personal vehicle. These higher policy limits mean it is much more likely for you to receive enough compensation to cover all of your damages.
Commercial trucks are highly regulated by federal and state authorities. Wisconsin is in charge of licensing commercial drivers. It also dictates rules for trucks that operate purely within the state. Federal law controls most aspects of commercial trucking, including which truckers can move certain types of cargo and how that cargo must be contained or secured. Federal law also determines how many hours truckers can work within a certain period. Unfortunately, hours of service violations are all too common.
To learn more about how truck accident cases are different from car crashes and how that matters to your claim, call our Wisconsin Rapids truck accident lawyers today.
If you are hurt because you were struck by a commercial truck, do not hesitate to call us.

If you lost a loved one in a truck accident and are eligible to file a wrongful death claim, you may receive:
After being injured in a truck accident, you only have three years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. The three-year anniversary of the crash will arrive much sooner than you expect. It is best to speak with an attorney as soon as you can to not only know your filing deadline, but to begin investigating and gathering evidence when the information and people’s memories are fresh. If you were struck by a truck owned by a local municipality, it is even more important to speak with an attorney immediately. You may only have 120 days to give written notice of your claim and injuries.
