The interstates and roadways in West Virginia and the Tri-State area see a heavy flow of tractor-trailers and commercial trucks carrying coal, lumber, and other materials. Collisions with these massive vehicles can result in catastrophic injuries or fatalities due to their size, weight, and momentum. When someone is involved in an automobile accident with such a heavy and powerful piece of machinery, the damages and injuries can be devastating. Victims of truck accidents face unique challenges and deserve dedicated legal representation to recover the compensation they need.

Why You Need an Experienced Truck Accident Attorney
Truck accidents are not like typical car crashes. Federal and state regulations govern commercial trucking operations, including driver hours, vehicle maintenance, cargo handling, and insurance requirements. Navigating these regulations is complex and critical to establishing liability. At Woelfel & Woelfel, we understand these rules and have the experience to protect your rights and pursue full compensation.
Calling us immediately after an accident is crucial. Evidence at the scene—such as skid marks, vehicle damage, and road conditions—can be lost quickly, and witnesses may become unavailable. Early action allows us to preserve key evidence and strengthen your case.
Working With Us
By calling us as early as possible, we can ensure that valuable evidence is preserved and witnesses are found. Physical evidence at an accident scene quickly disappears. Other relevant evidence may be destroyed within days of the accident. It is important to contact us immediately so that we may begin working towards the success of your case.
