Truck Accident Lawyer in the Bronx
We handle Deegan, Cross Bronx, Bronx River Parkway, The Hutchinson River Parkway, I-95 and Bruckner crashes — even when big firms say no.
From Matt: Hey, It's Matt Marchese from MyBronxLawyer.com. Truck crashes on the Cross Bronx, Deegan, or Bruckner can cause massive damage — and the insurance companies move fast to protect the trucking company, not you.We know how to track down the driver, the records, and the camera footage before it disappears. If you were hit by a truck and got the runaround — or no one took your case seriously — let’s fix that. This is the kind of fight we know how to win.
What Counts as a Truck Accident Case?
Any crash involving a commercial truck — including box trucks, 18-wheelers, delivery vans, or sanitation trucks — may qualify as a truck accident case if it caused injury or disrupted your life.
- Rear-end collisions caused by large trucks
- Highway crashes involving commercial vehicles
- Underride or override accidents
- Delivery trucks striking parked or moving cars
- Crashes involving sanitation or utility trucks
- Tractor-trailer sideswipes on narrow Bronx roads
These accidents are often more serious due to the size and weight of the truck. If you needed treatment or the crash affected your day-to-day life, it may qualify as a case.
Where Do Most Truck Accidents Happen in the Bronx?
The Bronx sees a high volume of truck-related crashes, especially on major roadways with commercial traffic and tight turns. Certain areas are known for frequent incidents — particularly involving delivery trucks, sanitation trucks, and highway-speed collisions.
- Cross Bronx Expressway (I-95)
- Major Deegan Expressway (I-87)
- Bruckner Boulevard — especially near ramps and turns
- Webster Avenue and Fordham Road intersection
- Co-op City service roads near Bay Plaza

What if it’s been more than 72 hours since the accident — can I still open a case?
Yes. It's better if you got medical treatment quickly, but we’ve helped plenty of clients who waited a few days before seeing a doctor. What matters is that you were genuinely hurt and sought care once the pain didn’t go away. If you haven’t seen a doctor yet, we can help guide you now.
I went to urgent care, not the ER — will the insurance still take it seriously?
Urgent care visits are valid. The insurance company may try to argue they’re “minor,” but that doesn’t mean they are. What matters is that you documented the injury and followed up. Read more about this on our Urgent Care page or our guide What Insurance Companies Don’t Want You to Know.
The truck driver says it was my fault. Do I still have a case?
This is common. Truck companies often try to shift blame quickly. But traffic cameras, black box data, and witness reports often tell the real story. Don’t let their word be the last word — let us review it.
Can I sue if I was a passenger in the car that got hit by a truck?
Yes, passengers often have strong cases — especially when multiple vehicles are involved. Your job is to heal. Let us figure out who’s legally responsible — the truck driver, the company, or both.
How do I get the accident report and medical records?
You can get the police report online through the NYPD Collision Reports portal. For medical records, we can request them on your behalf. This includes urgent care, hospital, or specialist visits.
What if I already spoke to the insurance company — is it too late?
No, but tell us immediately. The less you say going forward, the better. The insurance company’s job is to protect their own money — not your health or future.
I didn’t feel hurt at the scene, but I’m in pain now. Can I still file a claim?
Yes. Adrenaline and delayed injuries are common in truck accidents, especially involving the spine and soft tissue. If you're hurting now, don’t wait — get checked out and call us.
The truck company is calling me — should I talk to them?
No. Trucking companies have their own investigators and lawyers. They’re not calling to help you — they’re building a defense. Direct all contact to us immediately.
How long does a truck accident case usually take?
Some resolve in a few months, others take over a year — especially if there are serious injuries or the trucking company fights liability. We’ll give you a realistic timeline after reviewing your case.
How much is my truck accident case worth?
That depends on your injuries, medical bills, lost wages, and how the accident impacted your life. We’ve handled Bronx truck cases worth anywhere from $25,000 to over $500,000. Visit our FAQ page for more info, or call us to review your case confidentially.
