Support After a Serious Truck Accident
At the Law Office of Daniel E. Stuart, P.A., we’ve worked with many individuals and families dealing with the aftermath of major truck crashes. These collisions often lead to severe injuries, financial strain, and uncertainty about what steps to take next. We understand the pressure our clients are under—between medical recovery, time away from work, and insurance challenges, they’re looking for answers and support they can rely on.
Why These Crashes Are So Disruptive
Truck accidents often involve large commercial vehicles such as semi-trailers, tankers, or delivery trucks. Due to their size and weight, these vehicles can cause significant damage when they collide with smaller passenger cars. These crashes frequently happen on highways, construction zones, or at busy intersections, and may involve factors like driver fatigue, speeding, improper maintenance, or distracted driving.
When someone is injured in a truck crash, the damage often goes far beyond property loss. The injuries tend to be more severe and can include:
- Traumatic brain injuries and spinal damage
- Multiple fractures and long-term physical limitations
- Internal injuries requiring extended hospitalization
We’ve seen many clients facing difficult questions after such an incident. They want to know who is responsible—the driver, the trucking company, or a third party. They also want to know how they can pay medical bills and recover lost wages. These cases often involve multiple insurance policies and company policies, making them more difficult than other vehicle accidents.
As your Overland Park, KS truck accident lawyer, we’re familiar with how these cases are handled locally and what needs to be done to build a strong claim. Our job is to help our clients pursue the full compensation they need—whether through a settlement or, when necessary, litigation.
Experience That Makes A Difference
Our firm has decades of experience representing injury victims, and we take a direct, focused approach with every case. At the Law Office of Daniel E. Stuart, P.A., we’ve handled claims involving major transportation companies, freight carriers, and independent drivers. In one recent case, we recovered over $750,000 for a client who suffered serious injuries when a commercial truck rear-ended their vehicle during morning traffic. By gathering accident reconstruction evidence and witness statements, we were able to present a strong case for liability and damages.
Clients who work with us often mention our communication and accessibility. We don’t pass cases off to junior staff or treat clients like file numbers. We listen, stay in contact, and provide clear, honest guidance throughout the entire process. Our goal is always to reduce stress and fight for a result that helps our clients recover—physically and financially.

Legal Help When a Truck Crash Turns Your Life Upside Down
Truck accidents can lead to devastating consequences, both physically and financially. At the Law Office of Daniel E. Stuart, P.A., we know how overwhelming it can be to deal with insurance companies, medical bills, and uncertainty after a major collision. That’s why we’re here—to provide clear guidance and pursue the recovery our clients need.
Types of Truck Accident Cases We Handle
We handle a wide range of truck-related personal injury cases. Each type of case brings unique challenges, and our team is prepared to investigate and pursue claims involving various contributing factors.
- Driver Fatigue: Many commercial drivers spend long hours on the road with little rest, which increases the chance of falling asleep behind the wheel or losing focus. These cases often involve violations of federal rest regulations.
- Distracted Driving: Using cell phones, GPS systems, or onboard electronics can take a driver’s attention off the road. We investigate communication records and onboard data to build these claims.
- Improper Truck Maintenance: Failing brakes, worn tires, and broken lights can all lead to serious crashes. We review inspection logs and maintenance records to identify mechanical failures.
- Overloaded or Improperly Loaded Trailers: Unbalanced or overweight cargo can make a truck harder to control or cause it to tip. These cases often involve loading companies in addition to the driver.
- Drunk or Impaired Driving: Operating a large commercial vehicle under the influence poses serious risks. These claims may involve criminal charges in addition to civil liability.
- Rear-End and Underride Collisions: Rear-end collisions and underride accidents—when a smaller car slides underneath a truck—can cause catastrophic injuries. These cases require detailed accident reconstruction.
- Aggressive or Reckless Driving: Speeding, tailgating, or unsafe lane changes by truck drivers often result in crashes. These behaviors can be shown through witness statements or dashcam footage.
We work to identify all potentially liable parties—whether it’s the driver, trucking company, or a third-party contractor—and hold them accountable for their part in the crash.
