Truck accidents often involve more than one vehicle and frequently result in life-changing injuries. In Chandler and throughout Arizona, the causes of collisions involving commercial trucks, tractor trailers and semi-trucks include:
Driver fatigue / long hours: Commercial truck drivers often operate under pressure and may violate hours-of-service rules, leading to drowsy or negligent driving.
Distracted driving: Use of cell phones, GPS devices or other distractions behind the wheel of a large heavy vehicle increases risk.
Improperly loaded or unsecured cargo: Commercial trucks must follow federal regulations for loading; improper loading can shift the weight, cause rollovers or shed debris.
Negligent maintenance: Brakes, tires, lights and other critical systems on trucks must be maintained, failures often contribute to collisions.
Speeding or unsafe turns: Large trucks require more space to maneuver. An unsafe turn, high speed or failure to yield can result in a severe collision.
Trucking company negligence / vicarious liability: The trucking company may bear responsibility under federal and state laws for improper hiring, training or supervision of commercial truck drivers.
Mixed use of local roads and freeways: In Chandler, commercial trucks travel along major corridors and local streets alike. Chain-reaction crashes involving semi-trucks occur near the Loop 202 and I-10.
In short, truck collisions are typically more complex than standard car accidents due to the involvement of semi-trucks, commercial trucks, multiple parties, trucking industry regulations and severe injuries for other motorists.
Understanding the scope of truck accidents in Arizona helps illustrate why legal representation is often crucial after a serious crash.
According to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), there were 122,247 total motor-vehicle crashes statewide in 2023, resulting in 1,178 fatalities and 52,411 injuries. Among these, 2,662 crashes involved truck tractors with or without semi-trailers, reflecting the significant presence of large commercial vehicles on Arizona’s roads.
While ADOT’s report does not isolate “truck accidents in Chandler,” it notes that the Phoenix metropolitan area, which includes Chandler and surrounding East Valley cities, consistently records some of the highest crash densities in the state due to heavy commuter and freight traffic along corridors like the Loop 202, I-10, and U.S. 60.
At the national level, data from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) show that in 2022, 5,788 people were killed in crashes involving large trucks, marking an increase of 17 percent from 2020. The majority of those fatalities were occupants of passenger vehicles rather than truck drivers, underscoring how devastating these collisions can be for other motorists.
Locally, the City of Chandler’s Transportation Master Plan highlights ongoing safety improvements along major freight routes, but it also recognizes that collisions involving heavy vehicles remain a continuing concern in high-traffic areas such as Arizona Avenue, Chandler Boulevard, and the Price Road corridor.
Together, these statistics reveal that Chandler’s position within a major freight and commuter hub places residents at higher risk of collisions with commercial trucks, tractor trailers, and semi-trucks. For anyone facing injuries or losses from such a crash, experienced legal representation can help ensure that every available avenue for recovery is explored.
After a collision involving a commercial truck, you as an injured party or surviving family member in Chandler have legal rights under Arizona law. Key points to keep in mind:
Liability can involve multiple parties: The truck driver, trucking company, shipper, loader, maintenance provider, truck manufacturer or parts supplier may all be responsible.
Federal trucking laws and state regulations apply: Commercial trucks operate under federal hours-of-service rules, cargo-securement standards, and maintenance regulations. Investigating compliance is essential.
You may be entitled to compensatory damages, including:
Economic (financial) damages: hospital bills, ongoing medical treatment, lost wages, future income loss, rehabilitation costs
Non-economic damages: pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life
Insurance companies will have teams working to protect the trucking or carrier’s interests. Having legal professionals who understand the legal process and how to negotiate with insurers is key.
You do not have to navigate this alone: An attorney experienced in truck‑accident claims may guide you through gathering evidence (police reports, truck driver logs, cell phone records, black-box data), evaluating your case and presenting a claim or lawsuit if needed.
Time matters: Arizona has time limits (statutes of limitations) for personal injury claims. Starting early helps preserve key evidence before it disappears.
We handle many cases on a contingency‑fee basis — you generally do not pay attorney’s fees unless we recover compensation for you. You may still be responsible for case‑related costs, which will be explained in a written agreement.
A truck accident in Chandler may feel overwhelming, especially when injuries are severe, hospital bills mount, and insurance companies push for quick settlements. But you have rights and options. Proper legal representation gives you the best chance of pursuing the full compensation you may be entitled to.
