New York Truck Accident Lawyer Fighting for the Seriously Injured
Truck crashes are unlike any other accident on New York streets. The size, weight, and speed of these vehicles often mean devastating injuries and complex legal battles. If you’ve been hit by a commercial truck in Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Manhattan, or on Long Island, you need more than just a personal injury lawyer—you need someone who understands trucking cases inside and out.
Attorney Supriya Kichloo is a New York truck accident lawyer who works directly with every client. No case gets passed off to a junior associate. She knows the tactics trucking companies use to protect themselves, and she’s ready to fight for your medical bills, lost income, and long-term recovery.
Trucking Truth
Why Truck Accidents Are Different from Car Crashes
A collision with an 18-wheeler, box truck, or delivery van isn’t just a bigger version of a car accident—it’s an entirely different legal case. These crashes often involve:
- Severe injuries due to massive vehicle weight and force
- Multiple parties—driver, trucking company, maintenance crew, cargo loaders, and insurance providers
- Special regulations, including Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) rules and New York state trucking laws
- Extensive investigation needs, such as reviewing driver logs, black box data, and maintenance records
Supriya understands how to navigate these cases from the ground up, including dealing with corporate insurers that try to push quick, undervalued settlements.
Crash Factors
Common Causes of Truck Accidents in NYC
Many New York truck crashes happen because of preventable mistakes, including:
- Driver fatigue – Long hours without rest, in violation of federal hours-of-service limits
- Distracted driving – GPS use, texting, or eating behind the wheel
- Overloaded or improperly loaded cargo – Making trucks unstable and harder to control
- Faulty maintenance – Worn brakes, bald tires, or steering issues
- Speeding or aggressive driving – Particularly dangerous on crowded city streets and highways
- Impaired driving – Alcohol, drugs, or certain prescription medications
Whether your accident happened on the Long Island Expressway, Queens Boulevard, or a busy Brooklyn intersection, our firm will investigate every possible cause and hold the right people accountable.
Determining Liability in a Truck Crash
In truck accident cases, the driver is rarely the only party at fault. We often look at:
01
The trucking company »
For negligent hiring, training, or pushing unsafe schedules
02
Maintenance providers »
If mechanical failure contributed to the crash
03
Cargo loaders or shippers »
If improper loading caused instability or tipping
04
Manufacturers »
For defective truck parts
Our team digs into driver logs, employment records, dashcam or surveillance footage, and witness statements to build a strong case. The goal: maximize your recovery by holding every responsible party accountable.

Truck Accident FAQ
FREQUENTLY ASKED questions
How long do I have to file a truck accident lawsuit in New York?
Generally, you have 3 years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, no-fault insurance claims must be filed within 30 days, and evidence in trucking cases can disappear fast—act quickly.
Can I sue the trucking company for my injuries?
Yes. In many cases, the trucking company shares liability, especially if their policies or practices contributed to the crash. This is often beneficial since they may carry higher insurance coverage than individual drivers.
