Advocating for the Injured

 

Accidents involving commercial trucks, 18-wheelers, and tractor-trailers are among the most catastrophic collisions on Nevada’s roadways. These crashes often result in devastating injuries, significant property damage, or even wrongful death. At F. Travis Buchanan, Esq. & Associates, PLLC, we understand the physical, emotional, and financial toll a truck accident can have—and we are committed to helping victims recover the compensation they deserve.

​

If you or a loved one has been injured in a truck accident in Las Vegas, Clark County, or Southern California, it is crucial to contact a qualified personal injury attorney immediately. The trucking companies and their insurers will act fast to protect their interests—you need someone who will fight just as hard for yours.

​

Why Truck Accidents Are Different

from Other Crashes

​

Truck accident cases are significantly more complex than standard car accidents. Multiple parties may be liable—including the truck driver, the trucking company, the vehicle manufacturer, cargo loaders, or even third-party maintenance crews. Commercial trucks are also subject to federal and state regulations, such as those enforced by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), which govern:

​

• Maximum driving hours

• Truck maintenance and inspections

• Driver qualifications and training

• Cargo loading standards

• Alcohol and drug testing requirements

​

Our legal team knows how to navigate these regulatory frameworks and build strong cases based on logbooks, black box data, witness testimony, accident reconstruction, and company compliance records.

​

Types of Truck Accident Cases We Handle

​

At F. Travis Buchanan, Esq. & Associates, PLLC, we represent victims of all types of commercial truck accidents, including:

​

• Jackknife accidents – where the trailer swings out and forms an angle with the cab

• Rear-end collisions – particularly deadly due to a truck's size and stopping distance

• Underride accidents – when a smaller vehicle slides under the back or side of a truck

• Wide turn accidents – involving trucks swinging too wide and colliding with other vehicles or pedestrians

• Tire blowouts and equipment failure – often stemming from poor maintenance or defective parts

• Truck driver fatigue – violations of “Hours of Service” laws often lead to drowsy or distracted driving

• Overloaded or unsecured cargo – which can lead to rollover accidents or debris hazards

 

We investigate each case thoroughly to determine cause and liability, whether the fault lies with the driver, the employer, or a third party.

​
