Truck Accident Lawyer in Arizona
A collision with a semi-truck or commercial vehicle can turn your life upside down in seconds. Cal Mundell Law offers a FREE consultation to people hurt in truck crashes across Arizona. Cal will look into what happened, explain where you stand, and work to recover what your injuries have cost you.
Hurt in a Crash With a Commercial Truck?
You focus on healing. Cal takes on the legal side.
Big rigs, delivery trucks, and other commercial vehicles move through Arizona around the clock, on I-10, I-17, the Valley's loop highways, and neighborhood streets. A fully loaded tractor-trailer can outweigh a passenger car many times over, so when one is involved in a crash, the people in the smaller vehicle usually bear the worst of it.
Cal Mundell works with injured people and their families after truck accidents to pursue the recovery Arizona law allows. These cases tend to be more involved than an ordinary car crash, and Cal handles each one personally from start to finish.
How a Truck Crash Can Change Your Life
Injuries from a truck accident are often severe. Many people face surgery, a long hospital stay, months of rehabilitation, and time away from their jobs. Some injuries are permanent, and the bills can pile up long before a claim is resolved.
These claims also involve more moving parts. Responsibility may rest with the driver, the company that employs the driver, whoever loaded the cargo, or whoever was supposed to keep the truck in safe working order. Each can be a separate source of recovery.
Cal can take the legal work off your plate: gathering the facts, figuring out every party that may share responsibility, and pursuing full compensation for what the crash has taken from you.

Steps to Take After a Truck Crash
What you do in the days after a truck accident can shape both your recovery and your claim. If you can, try to:
-
Get checked by a doctor right away. Serious injuries don't always show symptoms immediately.
-
Make sure police are called. A crash report creates an official record of what happened.
-
Take pictures if it's safe. Capture the vehicles, the company name and USDOT number on the truck, the road, and any injuries.
-
Collect names and numbers. Write down the truck driver's information, the trucking company's name, and contact details for anyone who saw the crash.
-
Hold off on talking about who was at fault. Let the facts come out first.
-
Call Cal Mundell Law early. Federal rules only require trucking companies to keep drivers' duty-status records for six months, so waiting can mean losing evidence.
The sooner evidence is protected, the stronger your position is likely to be.
Investigating Your Truck Accident Claim
Much of the most important evidence in a truck case sits with the trucking company, and it won't stay there forever. Depending on your case, Cal may look at:
-
Photos and physical evidence from the scene
-
Dash cam and traffic camera video
-
Crash reports from law enforcement
-
Accounts from witnesses
-
Your medical records
-
The driver's hours-of-service logs
-
Electronic logging device and onboard truck data
-
Inspection and maintenance history
-
Loading and cargo records
-
The driver's hiring, qualification, and training records
-
Records showing your lost pay and other financial harm
No two truck crashes are the same. Cal uses what the evidence shows to piece together what happened, pinpoint who is responsible, and build your claim around the facts.
What You May Recover After an Arizona Truck Crash
Every case is different, and what you may recover depends on how the crash happened and how it has affected your life.
A truck accident claim may include:
-
Hospital and medical bills
-
Therapy and rehabilitation
-
Ongoing and future care
-
Income lost while recovering
-
Lost ability to earn in the future
-
Physical pain and emotional distress
-
Vehicle repair or replacement
-
Long-term disability or impairment
-
Other costs caused by the crash
-
Wrongful death damages for families who have lost a loved one
Cal looks at the full picture of how the crash has affected you, not just the first round of bills, when pursuing compensation from those responsible.
