Serious Crashes Involving Trucks Demand Serious Representation
Tractor-trailers and delivery trucks dominate Milwaukee’s interstates—I-94, I-43, and I-41—and when one collides with a car or motorcycle, the results are often devastating. A Milwaukee truck accident lawyer must understand both Wisconsin negligence law and federal trucking regulations. Robert Erdmann has over 35 years of experience handling complex, high-stakes injury cases and knows how to confront trucking companies and their insurers head-on. Our firm investigates every crash thoroughly, preserving vital records before they disappear.
Why these cases require specialized investigation
Unique Aspects of Truck Accidents
Truck accidents differ from ordinary car crashes because multiple parties may share liability—the driver, the carrier, maintenance contractors, or cargo loaders. We analyze black-box data, GPS logs, and driver hour-of-service records to reveal violations of federal rules. Quick legal action is essential since trucking companies control much of the evidence. Erdmann Law Offices sends preservation demands immediately to prevent alteration of logbooks or vehicle data, ensuring your right to a fair claim.
The patterns behind serious highway collisions
Common Causes of Truck Crashes
Many truck wrecks trace back to fatigue, poor maintenance, speeding to meet delivery deadlines, or overloaded trailers. Mechanical failures like brake or tire blowouts often stem from ignored inspections. Wisconsin’s long winter routes add further risk from ice and limited visibility. We work with qualified experts to connect these failures to federal safety violations. When fatalities occur, families may pursue additional remedies through our bold wrongful death resources.
