Large trucks have a federal weight limit of 80,000 pounds. When vehicles that reach even half this 80,000 pound limit hit another vehicle, the result is often severe injuries, psychological trauma, and substantial financial harm. While insurance providers should cover your accident-related losses, there is no guarantee they will do the right thing—and you may need to sue a trucking company or other liable party.
Let an experienced Kingman truck accident lawyer pursue fair compensation for you. Call Big Chad Law today at (928) 753-1830. Your consultation is free, and you are not obligated to hire our team after speaking with our firm. Let us answer your questions and explain why our firm is fit to serve you.
Truck Accident Cases: Complex, High-Stakes, and Right in Big Chad Law’s Wheelhouse
Victims of truck accidents are not typically familiar with the claims process or lawsuits that may follow. The attorneys at Big Chad Law know, though, that truck accident cases are unlike any other type of case.
There are several considerations and challenges that you must be aware of, and they include:
The Costly Nature of Truck Accidents
We know that auto accidents generally cost more when the accident victim has serious injuries. We also know that truck accidents are uncommonly likely to cause an accident victim’s death. This means that:
- Those involved in truck accidents are disproportionately likely to have severe and even disabling injuries
- Our attorneys have represented clients who suffered the loss of a loved one because of a truck accident (or the parties who caused the accident)
- We generally expect that truck accident victims and others affected by truck accidents will deserve a relatively large settlement or verdict
You should seriously consider hiring a capable attorney when you deserve a large financial recovery. Liable parties will likely resist paying you and may even use bad faith strategies to try to avoid accountability. Our team will protect you and demand the compensation you deserve.
Trucking Companies’ Insurance Providers and Legal Teams
If a trucking company is liable for your damages, you may be facing substantial resources aimed against your claim. These companies tend to have:
- High-limit insurance policies
- Insurance providers who fight for their own interests and the trucking company’s
- Multiple attorneys
- Substantial financial resources
If a trucking company or their insurance provider decides to fight your claim, you may not want to be the one handling that claim. Instead, allow Big Chad and his team to provide similarly formidable resources to you.
The Challenge of Determining Exactly Why a Truck Accident Happened
Trucks traveling the roads of Kingman can weigh up to 80,000 pounds. Much of this weight may lie in the cargo itself, and that cargo can contribute to an accident—as can defects in the truck, flaws in the driving surface, and countless other potential hazards.
Determining the cause of a truck accident can be difficult because trucks are such complex vehicles. Our attorneys have handled many truck accident cases, and we have relationships with experts who understand trucks and the trucking industry well. This will enable us to find the root of your accident efficiently.
The Difficulty of Obtaining Evidence in a Truck Accident Case
Evidence is a critical factor in how a truck accident case unfolds. Some of the evidence-specific challenges in truck accident cases are:
- Securing records, black-box data, video, and other evidence from a trucking company (which you may be suing)
- Analyzing work logs, digital data, and other evidence that may require a technical understanding
- Using the evidence to prove that a truck driver, trucking company, or other liable party caused the accident
We will need to ensure that liable parties don’t dispose of or destroy evidence. We can file a letter of spoliation requiring liable parties to provide us with any evidence that may be useful to your claim or lawsuit.
We understand how frightening a truck accident experience can be and recognize how challenging your post-accident reality may be. Our lawyers have helped many truck accident survivors obtain fair compensation and put their lives back together after serious truck collisions.
As difficult as this time is, we want to bring you some relief. Let us handle all necessary insurance claims and lawsuits while your focus remains on recovery. Call Big Chad Law today at (928) 753-1830 to complete your consultation about hiring a Kingman truck accident lawyer.

We Know the Common Truck Accident Sites in Kingman
Interstate 40 is one of the most well-traveled roads running through Kingman, as is Historic Route 66. These roads and the intersections on and near these roadways see a disproportionate number of trucks traveling to, through, and out of Kingman. A long-term construction project involving I-40 only makes this a more dangerous section of Kingman.
Roads that intersect and run parallel to these busy thoroughfares, like Harrison Street and Airway Avenue, may also have a disproportionate number of trucks traveling them. We often represent clients who have suffered injuries because of accidents on these streets. Our attorneys know how to gather critical evidence from these busy roads and many common reasons for accidents here.
We Provide the Caliber of Service You Deserve
Being a client at Big Chad Law means:
- You know the attorney who is leading your truck accident case, and you will hear often from that lawyer
- We consider your case our most important, as every client deserves a law firm that makes them the top priority
- We encourage you to call, text, email, or meet with us in person whenever you see fit
Our clients never question whether their lawyer is working hard or our team cares about them. Clearly, we are capable, caring legal professionals who strive to resolve our cases fairly and efficiently.
Damages You May Have Suffered in Your Truck Accident in Kingman
To understand the true cost of your truck accident, we will need to:
- Have an honest, heartfelt discussion with you about the economic, emotional, psychological, and physical toll of the collision
- Secure and analyze all financial records (including bills) related to your accident
- Consult all experts who have valuable insights about your damages
These steps will allow us to create a detailed and accurate record of your accident-related damages. Some of the damages we often uncover in truck accident cases are:
Eye-Opening Medical Expenses
A truck accident victim’s medical bills may stem from:
- Ambulance transport from the accident scene
- Extensive emergency services
- Medical imaging to diagnose injuries
- Hospitalization
- Surgery
- A range of other medical services
Anyone who has interacted with the healthcare system understands how costly medical care is. However, most of our clients are shocked when they receive medical bills following a truck accident. We aim to alleviate that shock by having liable parties cover all medical costs.
Long-Term Professional Damages
If your physical injuries do not interfere with your career, your emotional and psychological symptoms may. It’s our experience that most truck accident survivors need at least a temporary work absence to heal, and this may cause:
- A drop-off in earning power
- Lost income
- An inability to earn performance-related compensation (like bonuses and promotions)
- A long-term decline in one’s professional prospects
- Loss of health coverage and other benefits if the work absence is substantial
These are damages we will include in our settlement demands.
Substantial Property Costs
Motor vehicles are built to withstand impact, but most cannot withstand the degree of impact that a speeding, multi-ton truck imposes. Your Kingman truck accident attorney will calculate all of your property damage, which may include the cost of:
- Replacing a totaled vehicle
- Repairing your vehicle
- Replacing or repairing any electronics, clothing, accessories, and other personal items damaged during the accident
- Getting you temporary transportation
We know how to determine vehicle values, and we will insist that liable parties cover the cost of your accident-related property damage.
Severe, Long-Lasting Pain and Suffering
Many truck accident survivors have difficulty shaking memories of the collision. You may even be suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, and other serious conditions that require treatment.
Our lawyers are compassionate, but we aren’t mental health professionals. We will arrange for a qualified professional to diagnose and treat (if you want them to) the pain and suffering you endure because of the accident.
Wrongful Deaths (and the Devastating Harm They Bring)
First, please accept our team’s sympathies if you have lost a loved one. Any loss is devastating. Losses that occur suddenly can be even more challenging than most, causing intense and prolonged grief.
Our firm is here for you following a fatal truck accident. We will represent your interests, and we will demand compensation from liable parties for:
- Funeral costs
- Grief
- Other types of pain and suffering (such as depression)
- Loss of consortium
- Lost financial support
- Medical expenses
- Any other financial or non-financial harm resulting from the fatal truck accident
We always expect liable parties to deny justice to truck accident victims. We push back, presenting evidence-based cases, detailed documentation of our client’s damages, and financial demands that liable parties can’t ignore.

The Big Chad Law team brings all hands on deck so we can resolve our cases as quickly and convincingly as possible. We will:
- Get all evidence of fault as soon as possible (before liable parties can get rid of it)
