Pittsburgh Area Truck Accident Lawyer

Attorney for Victims of Tractor-Trailer Crashes in Allegheny County, PA

They may be called big rigs, semis, 18-wheelers, or tractor-trailers, but regardless of what you know them as, large commercial trucks are extremely dangerous, especially when they are involved in accidents. Measuring about 70 feet long and weighing up to 80 tons or more, large trucks are huge, heavy vehicles that can cause devastating injuries to drivers and passengers in other cars on the road. At Colianni & Leonard LLC, we have the knowledge and experience to assist you when you have been injured in any type of accident involving a truck.

Trusted Counsel for Transportation Accidents in Allegheny County

Western Pennsylvania is home to a vast network of interstate highways, state highways, and local roads that include thousands of miles of roadway. Due to the accessibility of the Pennsylvania Turnpike, thousands of trucks travel through the region each and every day. Unfortunately, the high volume of truck traffic means that crashes will happen, and when they do, it is usually the occupants of other vehicles that suffer the most. At Colianni & Leonard LLC, we know the struggles that truck accident victims face, and we are equipped to hold truck drivers and trucking companies responsible for the accidents they cause.

Truck accidents are quite different from car accidents in several important ways. First, truck accident injuries are often more serious due to the size, weight, and momentum of big rigs. Trucks are also owned and operated by multibillion-dollar transport companies who employ teams of attorneys to help them escape liability when accidents occur. Additionally, there are complicated laws and government regulations that regulate the trucking industry which can make handling a truck accident case on your own virtually impossible.
