WHAT TO DO IF YOU'RE IN A TRUCK ACCIDENT IN PITTSBURGH
After you have been involved in any kind of motor vehicle accident, you may feel overwhelmed and confused. Complete the following steps to ensure you protect yourself and your recovery.
- Make sure that you’re safe and then immediately call 911 for emergency assistance.
- Never admit fault or place blame.
- Exchange insurance information with other drivers involved in the accident.
- Gather contact information from everyone else at the scene. Witnesses can be crucial to confirm what happened.

TRUCKING INDUSTRY: PROCEED WITH CAUTION
Trucking companies act fast, often sending their lawyers out to the accident scene or directly to your home to collect statements. Some may try to talk you out of hiring an attorney or may minimize your injuries or what happened. Even worse, they may try to delay your claim in any way they can, hoping you’ll just get frustrated and give up.
We know this can be incredibly overwhelming – that’s why you need Edgar Snyder & Associates. Our truck accident lawyers will fight for you and stand up to aggressive adjusters trying to ruin your claim.
TYPES OF TRUCK ACCIDENTS
With more than 40 years of experience, we know the ins and outs of every type of accident. That being said, no two accidents are exactly alike. At Edgar Snyder & Associates, we will work to uncover every detail of your commercial truck accident to get you the compensation you deserve.
Truck Accidents
Some of the most devastating crashes involve trucks including tractor trailers/18-wheelers, dump trucks, delivery trucks, and other commercial vehicles. Hiring an experienced truck accident attorney to help navigate the aftermath is especially important because most trucking companies "lawyer up," quickly dispatching teams of corporate defense attorneys.
Passengers
Many people injured as passengers don't want to file a legal claim because they believe they would negatively impact their friend or loved one who was behind the wheel. In reality, you’re making a claim against their insurance company so that you aren’t left alone shouldering the burden of the expenses incurred from a truck wreck.
Multi-Vehicle Crashes
Collisions happen in a multitude of ways and sometimes include more than one victim. These may be caused by head-on collisions, lane crossovers, rear-end accidents, sideswipes, rollovers and T-bone accidents. No matter how you’re injured in a truck accident, our lawyers are ready to fight for you.
Impaired Driving
Driving under the influence of alcohol, recreational drugs, prescription drugs, or even while fatigued severely impacts a truck driver’s cognitive ability, affecting their reaction time, motor control, judgement and visual understanding.
Distracted Driving
Texting while driving, eating in the vehicle, putting on makeup, and fiddling with the radio – all things that take your eyes off the road fall under distracted driving. For truck drivers, who have demanding schedules and short deadlines, distracted driving can become away of life. However, dividing their focus means putting you and others in danger, leading to serious, sometimes permanent injuries.
Dangerous Roads
Here in Pittsburgh, our weather is best described as unpredictable. Common crashes and Pittsburgh truck accidents include hydroplaning from water pooling on roadways or unexpected ice patches leading to skidding in freezing temperatures.
Our truck accident lawyers also handle single and multi-vehicle crashes involving poorly-designed roads and intersections, as well as unsafe construction zones, which can lead to confusion-induced wrecks.
Other Accident Types
Whether you are injured as a driver,pedestrian, bicyclist or motorcyclist, our experienced Pittsburgh injury attorneys can make sure you get the compensation you deserve.

COMMON INJURIES FROM TRUCK ACCIDENTS
At first, you may not realize the full extent of your injuries or the treatment and time it will take for you to recover. Treating with a medical professional is necessary to determine the future medical care you will need. This ensures our personal injury lawyers can get you adequate compensation for any medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Head & Brain Injuries
Head injuries – also called traumatic brain injuries – rank among the most common and serious injuries suffered by truck accident victims. The severity of head injuries ranges from concussions to comas and can cause long-lasting physical and cognitive issues.
Back, Neck & Spinal Cord Injuries
Serious truck accidents often cause whiplash or other neck/back related injuries, some of which might not be immediately apparent.
Spinal cord injuries, which can be caused by high-impact collisions like truck accidents, can cause complications such as inflammation, blood clots, and pressure sores in the best cases and lead to partial or total paralysis in the worst.
Shoulder Injuries
Oftentimes, it's not initially apparent that you will need future surgery that can lead to overwhelming medical bills or time consuming long-term physical therapy. Pain in your shoulder after an accident may be the result of soft tissue damage, tears, or fractures.
Knee Injuries
A knee injury can affect your entire life, requiring you to use crutches, a cane, a walker, or a wheelchair to get around. Knee injuries – as well as ankle or other leg injuries – also increase your future risk for arthritis and chronic pain.
Wrongful Death
Losing a family member is devastating and no amount of money will ever make up for it. It’s our job to ensure you and your family get fair compensation and future stability. Wrongful death cases are complex and require the knowledge of experienced, competent truck accident lawyers.
Other Injuries
Truck accidents can cause a multitude of severe and sometimes permanent injuries, such as:
- Broken bones or fractures
- Burns
- Amputations or loss of mobility
- Eye injuries
- Punctures and lacerations
