When you are hit by an 18‑wheeler in or around Albuquerque, everything changes in an instant. You are suddenly dealing with serious injuries, a damaged or totaled vehicle, and a trucking company that has its insurance team working against you from day one.
At Keller & Keller, our New Mexico truck accident team handles cases involving 18‑wheelers, semi‑trucks, and other commercial vehicles throughout Albuquerque and across the state. We have spent decades representing people and families after life‑changing crashes, and we know how to stand up to trucking and insurance companies when the stakes are high.
Why 18-Wheeler Cases Are Different
18‑wheeler and semi‑truck cases are not just “big car accidents.” They are governed by complex trucking safety rules, detailed driver logs, and electronic data from the truck itself. Multiple companies may be involved, including the driver, the trucking company, cargo loaders, and maintenance providers.
Right after a crash, these companies and their insurers are already working to limit what they pay. They may send their own investigators to the scene, contact you quickly, and push for a fast, low settlement before you understand the full impact of your injuries.
