Baltimore Truck Accident Lawyers

Catastrophic Truck Collisions Across the City

Collisions with 18-wheelers and box trucks on I-95, I-695, I-895, and along Pulaski Highway or Broening Highway can cause life-changing injuries. Timoll Law Group handles serious truck accident cases across Baltimore, including routes serving the Port of Baltimore, Dundalk Marine Terminal, Curtis Bay, and industrial corridors near Sparrows Point. Our focus is on major injuries that need careful case building and early preservation of proof. If the crash involved a passenger vehicle too, learn how we approach related car accidents and coordinate claims when multiple insurers are involved.

Serious-Injury Criteria For Truck Claims

To keep resources centered on families facing the toughest recoveries, we prioritize truck cases involving:



  • Surgery to repair fractures or internal injuries
  • ICU or prolonged hospitalization
  • Traumatic brain injury or spinal damage
  • Amputation, paralysis, or permanent impairment
  • Fatal outcomes pursued through the appropriate claims process, which may include wrongful death for eligible family members

Critical Trucking Evidence To Secure Early

Commercial carriers control records that can make or break a Baltimore truck case. Timoll Law Group acts quickly to request:

01

Electronic logging device (ELD) data tied to the engine, showing driving time and potential hours-of-service issues

02

Driver qualification files, training, dispatch notes, and bills of lading

03

Vehicle downloads (ECM), dash-cam video, and body-cam or traffic-camera footage when available

04

Maintenance, inspection, and repair logs for tractor and trailer

05

Load securement and weight tickets; shipper/loader contracts if cargo shifted

06

GPS/telematics and route plans, especially for port runs and warehouse deliveries

We also gather scene photos, witness statements, and medical and imaging records to document the extent of harm. Call us today to get recommendations specific to your case. 

Common Locations For Severe Truck Wrecks

Serious crashes occur at Beltway merges near Towson and Catonsville, on the Fort McHenry Tunnel approach, and along port access roads by Dundalk and Seagirt. We often see wide-turn incidents near Highlandtown and Greektown, underride risks on Eastern Avenue, and lane-change collisions around I-83/JFX. Knowing how freight moves through corridors that extend across Montgomery, Baltimore and beyond helps us request the right video sources, delivery records, and terminal logs so we can support your case no matter where the crash occurred.

Handling Adjusters And Recorded Statements

Carriers and their insurers often contact families quickly. Share only basic facts—identity, contact information, and vehicle details—and decline recorded statements until you understand your rights. Timoll Law Group can handle communications, coordinate property damage, and explain coverage layers, including potential excess policies for serious injuries. If a loved one was lost, we will discuss the differences between survival actions and wrongful death - we’ll outline the steps to begin so you have a clear view of what’s ahead.
