Truck Accident Lawyer – Serious Commercial Vehicle Crashes in Tumwater

Heavy Trucks, Severe Accidents

Large trucks and commercial vehicles dominate the roads around Tumwater, Olympia, and along I-5. When one of these vehicles is involved in a crash, the outcome can be devastating. At Bluhm Morgan PLLC, our truck accident lawyers in Tumwater help victims navigate the aftermath of serious semi-truck and commercial vehicle collisions across Western Washington.

Truck accidents often cause catastrophic injuries due to the sheer weight and force of an 18-wheeler. Victims may face long recoveries, extensive medical costs, or permanent disability. Our firm handles these complex claims with care, focusing on investigation, accountability, and maximum recovery.

Common Causes of Truck Accidents

Many commercial truck crashes are preventable. They often occur because of negligence somewhere in the chain of responsibility — from the driver behind the wheel to the company that owns or maintains the vehicle. Frequent causes include:

• Fatigued or overworked drivers
  
• Distracted or impaired driving
  
• Overloaded or improperly secured cargo
  
• Equipment or brake failures
  
• Inadequate training or supervision
  
• Speeding or tailgating on high-traffic routes
  
  

Truck traffic is a constant presence near Tumwater and Olympia, especially on I-5 and State Route 101. Our attorneys understand these corridors and the risks they pose for local drivers

Determining Liability in Truck Crashes

Truck accident cases are rarely simple. Liability may fall on several parties — the truck driver, the trucking company, the maintenance contractor, or even the parts manufacturer if a mechanical issue caused the crash. Our attorneys at Bluhm Morgan PLLC investigate every angle to identify who’s responsible.

We gather evidence such as driver logs, black box data, and maintenance records, and ensure all federal regulations are considered. These include FMCSA rules governing hours of service and load weight limits. Understanding these federal trucking laws allows our firm to hold every negligent party accountable.

Fighting Trucking Companies and Insurers

When a crash involves a commercial vehicle, the trucking company and its insurer often act immediately to protect their interests. They may send investigators to the scene or pressure victims to provide recorded statements. Our attorneys move quickly to secure evidence before it’s lost — from logbooks to GPS data — ensuring the facts are preserved.

Bluhm Morgan PLLC has extensive experience negotiating with national carriers and insurers. We understand their tactics and know how to counter them with strong, documented cases that reflect the true impact of the accident on your life.

Maximizing Compensation for Truck Accident Victims

Truck accidents often result in catastrophic injuries or fatalities, leaving victims and families with overwhelming medical costs and long-term financial strain. Because trucking companies carry large insurance policies, there’s often more compensation available — but it requires skilled legal representation to recover it.

Our firm fights for every form of compensation you’re entitled to, including medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and the cost of ongoing care. We don’t let insurers undervalue your injuries or pressure you into settling before you know your full prognosis.
