Indiana Semi-truck Accident Attorneys
Last updated on May 12, 2025
Semi-truck accidents are particularly dangerous due to these vehicles’ sheer size and weight. When a 50-foot truck weighing 80,000 pounds loaded collides with a smaller vehicle, the impact can cause severe injuries or fatalities.
At Parr Richey Frandsen Patterson Kruse LLP, our trial attorneys fully commit to securing your highest possible compensation following a truck accident. Our personal injury attorneys have 75 years of collective legal experience handling million-dollar injury claims, wrongful death claims and other complex cases here in Indiana.
We have represented victims in countless truck accident claims since our founding in 1899. We can provide quality legal representation throughout your case, doing everything on our end to get you the compensation you deserve.
Determining Liability In Your Accident
Federal and state trucking regulations outline specific maintenance standards that all truck drivers must follow. The laws regulate everything from the safety of their equipment and the weight of their cargo to their driving hours and everything in between. Still, trucking accidents occur all too frequently as a result of negligent driving. Failure to adhere to these regulations can cause these devastating accidents.
If broken rules caused your accident and subsequent injuries, we can hold the negligent driver, the employer, insurance companies and other parties liable. We have obtained million-dollar settlements for past clients and can use this experience to assist with your case.
Our firm can advocate for compensation for the following damages:
- Property damage
- Hospital bills
- Surgery costs
- Pain and suffering
- Wrongful death

- Lost wages or future loss of wages

Some Common Questions We Often Hear
Clients have many essential questions when we conduct our free initial consultation. Here are some answers to the ones we often hear:
Do I have a case if the truck accident wasn’t entirely the truck driver’s fault?
Yes, you may still have a case. Indiana follows a comparative fault system, meaning you can recover damages as long as you are less than 51% at fault. Your percentage of fault will reduce your compensation.
What if the trucking company or their insurance denies responsibility for the accident?
Don’t be discouraged if the trucking company or their insurance denies responsibility. An experienced attorney can gather evidence, negotiate on your behalf, and, if necessary, file a lawsuit to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.
How long does a truck accident lawsuit typically take to resolve?
The duration of a truck accident lawsuit can vary, but it typically takes several months to a few years. Factors include the case’s complexity, the parties’ willingness to settle and court schedules. Your attorney can provide a more specific estimate based on your case details.
