Wilmington Trucking Accident Attorneys

Truck accident cases involve a number of unique laws and regulations that govern the trucking industry. The attorney you choose to handle your trucking accident case can make a big difference in your recovery.

Accidents involving heavy trucks, also known as semi trucks, tractor-trailer rigs and 18-wheelers, often involve catastrophic injuries or wrongful death. Since damage awards can be very high, these cases are fiercely defended by the trucking company and their insurance carrier. At the law firm of Murphy & Landon in Wilmington, Delaware, we are known for taking on major motor vehicle accident and trucking accident cases. We have a track record of recoveries and verdicts in excess of $1 million.

One recent success for Murphy & Landon was a $645,000 verdict in Turner v. Porter, a tractor trailer accident case.
