Criminal and Regulatory Liability for Truck Crashes and Spills
A truck accident exposes commercial drivers and truck owners to legal trouble on several fronts. There may be clean-up costs and environmental concerns from leakage of gas or oil, or spillage of hazardous cargo. There may be insurance issues for injuries or property damage. There may be criminal sanctions for violation of trucking regulations or traffic laws.
We're here to clean up the legal mess from a truck accident.

New York Trucking Accident Attorneys
We represent local trucking firms and freight companies based anywhere in the United States in the aftermath of a truck wreck, whatever the circumstances:
- Jackknifed or overturned tractor-trailers
- Freight falling into the roadway
- Collisions with vehicles or fixed objects
- Toxic spills or compromised hazmat containers
- Air, water or ground contamination from crashes
- Damage to property, roadways, signage, landscaping, etc.
We work directly with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or the New York Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) to negotiate restitution for the clean-up. We also represent clients on criminal charges for trucking violations or traffic violations that contributed to the crash. We work to minimize fines and any impact on the operator's commercial driver's license (CDL).
For example, we represented the owners of a truck that had entered a Long Island parkway that is off limits to commercial vehicles. The truck hit an overpass, sheared the top off and spilling its cargo of potatoes all over the roadway and countryside. The clean-up cost many thousands of dollars and the company was cited for multiple criminal offenses.
