Maybe a semi ran a red light and T-boned you in an intersection.

Or a delivery truck rear-ended you at full speed because the driver was texting.

Or the dump truck didn’t have its lights on during a storm, and you never saw them coming. 

The wreck wasn’t just an “accident.” It was preventable, and that’s called “negligence.”

Negligence is the legal term for carelessness that causes harm, and in truck wreck cases, it’s the reason most crashes happen. When we take on your case, proving negligence is how we fight for the truth, and fight for what you’re owed.

Our truck wreck lawyers serve Dallas, Fort Worth, Atlanta, and Chicago, and we know what it takes to prove negligence and hold trucking companies accountable. And we don’t do it alone—we bring a full team of investigators, crash experts, medical staff, and legal support to help get you the answers and results you need.

What Is Negligence in a Truck Wreck?

Negligence means someone failed to act with reasonable care, and their actions (or lack of action) caused the crash. In a truck wreck, this could mean:

  • A driver was speeding, distracted, or under the influence
  • A trucking company skipped maintenance to cut costs
  • A dispatcher pushed a driver to violate federal hours-of-service laws
  • A load was improperly secured, causing a rollover or jackknife

Our job as your truck wreck attorneys is to uncover what went wrong and find out who should be held responsible.

Meet the Teams at Witherite Law Group Behind Every Case

At Witherite Law Group, when we say we fight for you, we mean it. But it’s not just your lawyer doing the work; it’s a powerful team of experts, investigators, and specialists working together to build your case. Here’s what’s behind every truck wreck case we take:

Rapid Response Team (RRT): Our RRT gets boots on the ground fast. They secure key evidence before it can be lost or destroyed: black box data, scene photos, road debris, vehicle inspections, and more. Their quick action is often the difference between winning and losing a case.

CRASH Media Team: Once that raw evidence is gathered, our CRASH Media team steps in. They transform complex crash data, video, and images into clear, compelling presentations that show exactly how and why the wreck happened. These visuals often help judges, juries, and insurance companies see negligence in a way that words alone can’t.

Digging for Dirt Team: This team investigates the truck driver, the carrier, and the company’s safety record. We look for past violations, logbook issues, service gaps, and hiring problems. If there’s a pattern of negligence, we’ll find it—and use it to strengthen your case.

In-House Medical Team: From the start of your recovery, our licensed medical professionals help document your injuries, treatment, and long-term needs. They work hand-in-hand with your legal team to connect the crash to the care you’ll need—so no damage goes undocumented.
