What to Do After a Reno Truck Accident

01

Call Emergency Services

Dial 911 immediately. Truck accidents on I-80 and US-395 often require hazmat response and multiple emergency units due to the size of commercial vehicles.

02

Document the Truck

Photograph the truck’s DOT number, license plate, company name, and all damage. Capture the scene including lane positions and debris along the I-80 corridor through the Truckee Meadows.

03

Get Trauma Care

Visit Renown Regional Medical Center’s trauma unit or Saint Mary’s Regional Medical Center right away. Truck accident injuries often include fractures, spinal damage, and traumatic brain injuries.

04

Hire a Truck Accident Attorney

Trucking companies dispatch legal teams and investigators within hours. You need an experienced attorney protecting your interests from the start.

Truck Accidents in Reno

Reno sits along the I-80 corridor, one of the busiest transcontinental freight routes in the western United States. Commercial trucks moving goods between California and the rest of the country pass through the Truckee Meadows daily. The I-80 and US-395 interchange, the Spaghetti Bowl, and steep grades approaching Donner Summit generate thousands of truck trips through the area.

Truck accidents often involve violations of federal hours of service regulations, improper loading, inadequate maintenance, or driver fatigue from long hauls over mountain passes. Nevada law holds trucking companies liable for the negligence of their drivers. Phoong Law investigates every angle to build the strongest case possible.

What Your Reno Truck Accident Case Could Be Worth

Truck accident claims typically involve higher compensation than standard auto accidents due to the severity of injuries and the commercial insurance policies carried by trucking companies. Victims may recover damages for catastrophic injuries, long term disability, and substantial medical costs.

Catastrophic Injury Costs

Medical Bills & Future Care

Surgeries, ICU stays at Renown Regional Medical Center, spinal cord treatment, and long term rehabilitation for severe truck accident injuries.

Permanent Disability

Lost Wages & Earning Power

Compensation for injuries that permanently limit your ability to work, care for yourself, or enjoy daily activities.

Lost Income and Capacity

Pain & Suffering

Current and future wages lost due to your injuries, including diminished earning potential from permanent impairment.

Pain and Suffering

Property Damage

The physical agony, emotional trauma, and lasting impact on your quality of life from a serious truck collision.

Types of Truck Accidents in Reno

Truck collisions on I-80 and through the Truckee Meadows take many forms. We handle them all.

Jackknife Accidents

Rear-End Collisions

When a truck trailer swings out on I-80 or US-395, it can block multiple lanes and cause chain reaction crashes, especially during winter conditions.

Underride Collisions

Head-On Collisions

Passenger vehicles sliding beneath truck trailers, often resulting in catastrophic or fatal injuries.

Mountain Pass Accidents

T-Bone & Intersection Crashes

Trucks losing brakes or control on steep grades approaching Donner Summit or along I-580 south of Reno.

Tire Blowouts

Hit-and-Run Accidents

Failed truck tires on I-80 and US-395 create road hazards and cause loss of control at highway speeds.

Wide Turn Crashes

Rideshare Accidents

Trucks making wide turns at Reno intersections can crush vehicles in adjacent lanes or on sidewalks.

Hazmat Spills

Multi-Vehicle Pileups

Trucks carrying hazardous materials through Reno and the Truckee Meadows pose explosion, fire, and toxic exposure risks.

Common Questions After a Reno Truck Accident

Who is liable for a truck accident in Reno?

Multiple parties may be liable, including the truck driver, the trucking company, the cargo loader, and the vehicle manufacturer. Phoong Law investigates all potentially responsible parties.

How are truck accident claims different from car accident claims?

Truck accidents involve federal regulations, commercial insurance policies with higher limits, and often multiple liable parties. The injuries are typically more severe, and the legal process is more complex.

What evidence is important in a truck accident case?

The truck’s electronic logging device data, driver qualification files, maintenance records, cargo loading documents, and dashcam footage are all critical. We act quickly to preserve this evidence.

How long do I have to file a truck accident claim?

Nevada’s statute of limitations is two years from the date of the accident. However, evidence can be lost quickly, so contacting an attorney as soon as possible is important.

What if the trucking company's insurer contacts me?

Do not give a recorded statement or accept any settlement offer. Insurance companies for trucking firms are aggressive about minimizing payouts. Let Phoong Law negotiate on your behalf.

How much does it cost to hire a truck accident lawyer?

Phoong Law handles all truck accident cases on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you.
