Trucking Accidents

Kentucky Truck Wreck Lawyer

Serious Advocacy for Serious Trucking Accidents

A collision with a commercial truck or tractor‑trailer can turn your world upside down in an instant. With greater force, bigger vehicles, and more complex liability, these wrecks often lead to catastrophic injuries, mounting expenses, and questions you shouldn’t have to face alone. At Cunningham Law, we help Kentuckians just like you who have been hurt in truck wrecks. You don’t have to navigate this alone—we’re ready to fight for your full and fair recovery.

Why Truck Wrecks Are Different

Trucking accidents aren’t like typical car wrecks. They involve larger vehicles, more parties, and stricter rules under federal and state law. Some unique challenges include:

• Identifying who is responsible: It may be the truck driver, the trucking company, a maintenance provider, a cargo loader, or even the vehicle manufacturer.

• Investigating specialized evidence: Black‑box data, driver logs, maintenance records, and regulatory compliance all matter in these cases.

• Facing large insurance policies and experienced defenders: Trucking firms often carry significant coverage and work with insurers determined to limit what they pay injured victims.  

Because of these added layers, you’ll benefit from a firm that understands the trucking industry and its risks—and will take on the intense and thorough investigation required.

What We Handle

We represent clients involved in serious trucking wrecks across the state of Kentucky, including:

• Collisions with 18‑wheelers, tractor‑trailers and big rigs

• “Underride” and “override” crashes, where the smaller vehicle goes under or over a truck

• Jackknife rollovers and cargo‑shift or improperly-secured load incidents

• Trucking company negligence: overloaded trucks, failed maintenance, driver fatigue, insufficient oversight

• Defective truck parts (brakes, tires, steering) and manufacturer liability

No matter how complex the crash—or how large the vehicle—we’ll stand by you with aggressive advocacy and clear, compassionate communication.

What You May Be Entitled To

If you’ve been hurt because of a trucking accident caused by someone else’s wrongdoing, you may be able to recover for:

• Past and future medical bills

• Lost wages and diminished earning capacity

• Pain, suffering and emotional distress

• Vehicle damage and other out‑of‑pocket costs

• In fatal cases: funeral/burial expenses, and compensation for your loss of companionship and support of your loved one

We’ll help you understand what your case may be worth—and what you should be demanding from the insurance company.

Statute of Limitations: Time Is Limited

In Kentucky, time matters. You typically have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. Waiting too long can mean losing your right to recover. We move fast so vital evidence isn’t lost or destroyed—and so you’re not left scrambling.
