Phoenix Truck Accident Lawyer

local truck accident lawyer — we move fast to preserve the evidence.

Maricopa County accounts for roughly 40% of all commercial-vehicle crashes in Arizona, fed by Interstate 10 — the main freight route between California and the rest of the country. Arizona recorded about 2,750 large-truck and bus crashes in 2024, with 144 deaths. When a fully loaded truck hits a passenger vehicle, the injuries are often catastrophic. Silver Key Law knows how to take on a trucking company and its insurer, and how to preserve the evidence before it disappears.

These cases are time-sensitive. You pay no fee unless we win.

Phoenix-area truck corridors

• Interstate 10 — the primary California-to-Arizona freight route, including the high-crash West Valley stretch.
• Interstate 17 — connecting Phoenix to northern Arizona.
• Loop 202 (South Mountain Freeway) — a major truck bypass.
• US-60 and State Route 85 — heavy commercial traffic.

Why truck cases are different — and why speed matters

Trucking companies often investigate within hours of a crash to build their defense. Key evidence can disappear fast — electronic logging device and "black box" data, driver logs, dashcam and telematics data, and maintenance records. We send evidence-preservation demands immediately and go to court when necessary to force production. Multiple parties may share responsibility — the driver, the carrier, the cargo loader, a maintenance provider, or a parts manufacturer — and identifying all of them determines how much coverage is available.

Arizona truck accident law

Commercial trucking is governed by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations covering hours of service, maintenance, cargo securement, and driver qualification; violations can be strong evidence of negligence. Arizona's pure comparative fault rule and two-year statute of limitations apply, with a 180-day notice deadline for government claims. Because truck evidence vanishes quickly, contact a lawyer promptly. This is general information, not legal advice.
