Begin Your Case With a Proven Truck Accident Law Firm
Truck accidents tend to be more serious than car accidents. Most accidents happen on the road, of course, but occasionally trucks leave the road. For example, 93.1 FM WIBC reported in November 2020 that a pickup truck drove into a Noblesville home, damaging the home and killing the driver.
While most truck accidents do not involve houses, the risks are the same: severe injury or death on top of significant property damage. If you were hurt or lost a loved one in a truck accident, you may be entitled to financial compensation known as damages.
While you can seek damages on your own, you may feel more comfortable working with a Noblesville truck accident lawyer with Isaacs & Isaacs Personal Injury Lawyers.

Getting the Legal Perspective on Car Accidents – Audio Interview
Car accident lawyer Darryl Isaacs — The Hammer — sat down to address legal and safety considerations when injured from a car crash in a recent radio episode of “Ask The Hammer,” the podcast exploring the legal matters that matter most. There are many elements at play when knowing what to do after a car accident. Listen to the episode directly below.
Determining Fault in a Noblesville Truck Accident
Determining fault in a truck accident is important because the at-fault party bears the legal and financial responsibility for it. Our lawyer will investigate your accident and look for evidence of negligence by the other driver.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulates truck drivers, limiting how many consecutive hours and days they can drive, how many breaks they must take, and how long they must sleep. Sometimes, truck drivers violate these rules because they want to reach their destination more quickly.
Other times, they may simply make poor driving decisions. Whatever the reason, here are some of the most common forms of driver negligence that lead to truck accidents:
- Speeding
- Falling asleep at the wheel
- Driving while intoxicated
- Driving without regard for current weather conditions
- Disregarding traffic signs and signals

How One of Our Lawyers Can Help You After a Truck Accident
Seeking damages after a truck accident is challenging, especially if you lack experience dealing with insurance companies and legal matters. Our lawyer will help you understand your options for recovering damages. We will also:
- Investigate your truck accident: We will investigate your accident, looking for evidence that the trucker caused it through negligence. We will collect evidence such as trucker logbooks, cell phone records, toxicology reports, traffic camera footage, police reports, interviews with eyewitnesses, and more.
- Estimate your damages: We will estimate how much your case is worth. We will use our estimate to evaluate any settlement offers.
- File an insurance claim: We will file an insurance claim for you. We will gather and submit supporting documents such as medical bills and records, past wage statements, and more.
- Negotiate a settlement: We will negotiate an out-of-court settlement with the other party’s insurance provider.
- File a lawsuit: If negotiations fail to result in a fair settlement, we will file a lawsuit against the truck driver and seek damages in court.
Additionally, the liable party may not be the truck driver. If we find that another party was responsible for the accident, we will take appropriate action against them. Other possible liable parties in a truck accident include the trucker’s employer, the truck manufacturer, the truck mechanic, or a cargo-loading company.
