How Do Logging Truck Accidents Happen?
Logging truck accidents generally occur in areas known for timber production and transportation, with accidents commonly reported in forestry regions like the Southeastern United States and the Pacific Northwest. While the risk of being involved in a logging truck wreck is increased in these areas, logging truck accidents can occur on any rural or urban road in the country, posing a threat to drivers across the nation.
As for logging truck accident causes, log trucks are extremely large and heavy because of the cargo they carry, making them one of the more challenging commercial vehicles to maneuver.
Log truck drivers require special training, ensuring they have the necessary skills to safely navigate various road conditions, as well as properly load and transport timber.
If a driver has not been adequately trained, logs can dislodge from their truck’s trailer, causing major accidents on the road, including fatal truck crashes
Other instances leading to logging truck crashes include overloading, poor vehicle maintenance, driver fatigue, and severe weather conditions. Additionally, unsafe driving practices can cause an accident with a logging truck, such as speeding, failure to yield, or aggressive driving.
Inadequately trained log truck drivers may also underestimate the stopping distance or turning radius their vehicle needs, leading to head-on, underride, and rear-end collisions
Working with our Truck Crash Attorneys
Mr. Leizerman’s expertise in trucking accidents and strong advocacy for safety were crucial for our case. His deep understanding of wrongful death cases and compassionate support led to justice for my son and provided comfort to our family. His dedication during this traumatic time was truly unparalleled.
Michael and his team helped my family after [my husband's death]. They were very professional and were aware of and sensitive to the emotional turmoil I was under. I cannot recommend them enough.
If I could, I’d give them 10 out of 5 stars.
Matt is a fantastic attorney, and he also became my friend. I couldn’t be happier about the outcome of my case.
After being involved in a semi-truck accident, I needed a law team nothing short of THE BEST.
Andy and Amy proved this to be true. Highly recommend!!!!!!!!!
I could not be more confident in these attorneys and their ability to competently and compassionately prosecute cases on behalf of their clients.
I highly recommend Michael Leizerman. Michael is very knowledgeable about every aspect of trucking law and fought back repeated appeals from the defendant's attorneys all the way up to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Michael was supportive and achieved great results beyond my expectations. He gave me the personal attention that I needed, answered all my calls and emails and responded at all hours. He had a great mission to accomplish and he did it!
I had never dealt with attorneys before, they were my first and I have to honestly say that it was the best experience I have ever had. They are honest, up front, kind and not do not try and deceive you. They are easy to work with and easy to find.
They are amazing people with huge hearts and went above and beyond every step of the way. I would recommend this firm to everybody needing help.
Andy was an instrumental help during the entire process. He was not only able to explain the concepts in layman's terms, but he also provided me with an insurmountable amount of knowledge that allowed me to reach a fair settlement. I would work with Andy again, and I believe that he's one of the best.
You guys are the best! Andy, Amy, and the rest of the team were able to get me more than double what I was expecting!
Matt and Traci really go above and beyond for their clients. They were always a text or phone call away. My dad never had to wait hours or days for a response. Thank you once again!
A pleasure to work with and the best at identifying coverage when others can’t!

Logging Truck Accident Injuries
Logging truck wrecks can cause catastrophic, life-changing injuries due to the massive size and weight of these vehicles, as well as the timber they carry. While injuries can be as minor as broken bones, the most severe crashes can lead to amputations, traumatic brain injuries, burn injuries, and paralysis.
Amputation
If the logging truck’s cargo or the truck itself rolls over, automotive drivers, motorcyclists and even other truck drivers, may become trapped under it, leading to severe limb injuries that require amputation. Amputation due to severe orthopedic injury is fairly common in logging truck wrecks because of the heavy cargo they carry.
A traumatic amputation refers to the loss of a limb in a log truck accident. This limb loss can be immediate (slashing), but can also occur at the hospital if a medical professional determines the damage to the limb is so severe (crushing or avulsion) it can’t be saved.
Brain Injuries
Logging truck accidents can result in serious brain injuries, including traumatic brain injury (TBI). These can be caused by a direct collision, rapid acceleration or deceleration of the vehicles involved, or a blow to the head from loose cargo.
Brain injuries can present different symptoms, some minor and others not, which is why you should always seek medical attention after an accident
Burn Injuries
Burns are one of the most common truck accident injuries, with nearly 174,000 highway vehicle fires in the U.S. occurring in 2021. If a logging truck wreck involves fuel leakage, the spilled fuel can cause fires or explosions, resulting in burn injuries to anyone involved in the crash. These burn injuries can be severe, causing significant pain along with long-term physical and emotional trauma.
Spinal Cord Injuries
Injuries in any severe truck accident typically involve the back, neck, and spine. The position of the human body when seated in a vehicle and the tremendous forces present in a truck crash are perfectly aligned to cause spinal cord injuries. In the most severe cases, logging truck accident victims could suffer from partial or full-body paralysis, significantly impacting the victim’s mobility and quality of life. These injuries can also occur if passengers are ejected from the vehicle during the crash.
Why You Need a Logging Truck Accident Attorney
No matter how minor you believe your truck accident injuries to be, reaching out to an experienced logging truck accident lawyer can make all the difference in your case.
If your life has been affected by a crash with a logging truck, you could be eligible to receive compensation for the affected areas of your life, including both the financial and non-financial harm you have suffered. This includes your current and future medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.
Additionally, if you believe a log truck driver’s negligence took your loved one from you, you may be entitled to compensation through a wrongful death claim.
