Fighting for Victims of Catastrophic Collisions

Trucking Accidents attorneys

In 2021 alone, there were approximately 494,000 police-reported crashes involving heavy trucks - over 115,000 resulting in serious injuries or fatalities. Even more alarming, 83% of those killed in collisions with heavy trucks were occupants of passenger vehicles.


With 15 million heavy trucks crowding U.S. roads, one overworked driver, one skipped safety check, or one mechanical failure can change lives forever. These vehicles can weigh 20–30 times more than a typical car, making the consequences of negligence devastating.


At McCartney Stucky, we take on serious trucking accident cases that most law firms can’t — or won’t — handle. Whether you’re looking for a truck accident lawyer near you in New York, Kansas City, or anywhere in the US., our attorneys have the resources, expertise, and trial skill to secure maximum compensation.

Our Focus: High-Stakes Trucking Accident Litigation

Every trucking accident is unique, but many stem from the same root causes — driver error, company mismanagement, mechanical failures, and improper maintenance. Our attorneys know how to identify every liable party and pursue justice against negligent drivers, unsafe trucking companies, and even truck manufacturers when a defect is involved.



We work with accident reconstruction experts, mechanical engineers, and federal motor carrier safety specialists to uncover the truth and build the strongest case possible.
