Why These Wrecks Happen (and Why They’re Preventable)
Every one of these is a choice. When those choices hurt good people, we hold companies and drivers accountable.
- Fatigued or distracted driving: Hours-of-service violations, phone use, GPS fiddling—on an 80,000-lb rig the margin for error is zero.
- Overloaded / unsecured cargo: Shifts cause rollovers and jackknifes; shippers/loaders can share fault.
- Poor maintenance: Worn brakes, bald tires, bad lights—cost-cutting turns trucks into hazards.
- Reckless driving: Speeding, tailgating, unsafe lane changes, failure to yield.

Truck Cases Often Involve Multiple Liable Parties.
We pursue all sources of recovery:
- Driver & employer (unsafe decisions, negligent hiring/training, forced schedules)
- Shipper/loader (overweight or improperly secured loads)
- Broker/contractor (unsafe carrier selection)
- Maintenance provider (shoddy service, skipped inspections)
- Manufacturer (defective brakes/tires/components)
- Government entities (dangerous road design/maintenance special deadlines apply)
The more parties there are, the more coverage and leverage we’ll have for a full recovery.

What Compensation Can Cover
- ER, surgery, hospitalization, future care, rehab, and medications
- Lost wages and loss of future earning capacity
- Pain, suffering, PTSD, and loss of quality of life
- Home/vehicle modifications, attendant care, and transportation to treatment
- Wrongful death damages for families in fatal crashes
Bus Accident Cases
At Torgenson Law, we handle semi truck accidents, commercial truck accidents, 18 wheeler accidents and bus accident cases with the same trial-ready approach: fast investigation, evidence preservation, expert analysis, and relentless pursuit of accountability for the injured.
Why Bus Accident Claims Are Different: Bus operators are common carriers, meaning they owe a higher duty of care to passengers and the public. When that duty is violated, we hold them accountable.
Like truck crashes, bus accidents can involve multiple liable parties, including:
- The bus driver
- The bus company or school district
- Maintenance contractors
- Other negligent drivers
- Government entities responsible for road conditions or transit systems
We pursue every responsible party so you can recover fully. Read more about how we handle bus accidents

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a truck-accident claim in Arizona?
Generally two years from the crash. Claims involving a city/state entity have special deadlines (a Notice of Claim within 180 days and a one-year filing window). Call early so we can preserve evidence and meet every timeline.
Can I Still Win If I Was Partly at Fault?
Absolutely. Arizona follows a pure comparative negligence model. That means you can recover damages even if you were partially responsible for the crash. Your compensation is simply reduced by your percentage of fault. We’re used to fighting that tactic. We use evidence to push back and protect your share of the recovery. Even if fault is shared, that doesn’t mean you should be left without help.
The trucker wasn’t ticketed, do I still have a case?
Yes. Citations aren’t required to prove liability. We rely on data and experts, not just the police report.
