Fighting for Justice After Serious Truck Crashes

If you or a loved one has been injured in a truck accident in Philadelphia, you deserve experienced, aggressive legal representation. At the Law Office of Michael P. Forbes, PC, we help victims of commercial truck accidents seek full and fair compensation for their injuries, medical bills, lost wages, and more.

With decades of experience standing up to powerful insurance companies and trucking corporations, Attorney Michael Forbes is ready to help you get the justice you deserve.

Why Truck Accidents Are So Dangerous

Truck accidents are often far more severe than typical car crashes. Due to their massive size and weight, 18-wheelers, box trucks, and other commercial vehicles can cause life-changing injuries such as:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
• Spinal cord injuries
• Broken bones
• Internal injuries
• Wrongful death

These accidents also involve complex legal issues, such as federal trucking regulations, multiple liable parties (driver, company, maintenance provider), and large insurance policies. You need a lawyer who understands how to navigate these cases—and who will fight hard for you.

Common Causes of Truck Accidents in Pennsylvania

Many truck crashes are caused by negligence, including:

• Driver fatigue – Truckers often drive long hours, violating rest regulations
• Speeding or aggressive driving
• Distracted driving (cell phone use, GPS)
• Improper maintenance – Faulty brakes, worn tires, and mechanical failures
• Overloaded or unbalanced cargo
• Drug or alcohol use
• Poor hiring or training practices

Attorney Michael Forbes will launch a full investigation to determine what caused your accident and who should be held accountable.

Who Can Be Held Liable?

Unlike a standard car accident, a truck crash may involve several liable parties, such as:

• The truck driver
• The trucking company
• A maintenance or repair company
• The cargo loading team
• The truck or parts manufacturer

Our team will pursue every responsible party to maximize your recovery.

What You May Be Entitled To

Depending on the facts of your case, you may be eligible to receive compensation for:

• Medical bills (past and future)
• Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Property damage
• Punitive damages (in cases of extreme negligence)

We will fight for the full value of your claim—not a quick settlement that favors the insurance company.
