Trusted Truck Accident Attorney in Springfield MO
Facing a massive trucking corporation after a wreck is not a fair fight; they have rapid-response teams and adjusters whose only job is to deny your claim while you are still in the hospital. You need a team that knows how to level the playing field before evidence disappears.
Harper, Evans, Hilbrenner & Netemeyer is here to protect your rights when a routine drive on I-44 turns into a life-changing event. In our experience, the sheer size and weight of a tractor-trailer often result in catastrophic injuries that require lifelong care, not just a quick settlement check. Whether the crash occurred at the busy US-65 and Battlefield Road interchange or along the Kearney Street industrial corridor, we understand the local roads and the specific dangers Missouri drivers face.
While our primary office is in Columbia MO, we are frequently fighting for justice in the Greene County Circuit Court. We treat our Springfield clients like neighbors, not case files. When you work with us, you get the resources of a heavy-hitting firm combined with the personal attention of a local advocate who understands the impact of a crash on your family’s livelihood.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is a truck accident claim different from a car accident claim?
Truck claims involve federal regulations and corporate policies that do not apply to regular drivers. The insurance policies are also much larger, often totaling millions of dollars, which makes the insurance companies fight much harder to deny payment.
What compensation can I recover for my injuries?
You can recover costs for current and future medical treatment at facilities like Mercy Hospital, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, and pain and suffering. In cases of extreme negligence, punitive damages may also be available to punish the trucking company.
How long does a truck accident lawsuit take in Missouri?
While some cases settle in a few months, complex truck accidents often take 12 to 18 months to resolve. We must wait for you to finish medical treatment to know the full cost of your care. We prioritize thoroughness over speed to ensure you aren’t shortchanged.
Can I sue if the truck driver was an independent contractor?
Yes. Trucking companies often try to avoid liability by hiring “independent contractors,” but federal law holds them responsible for the vehicles displaying their placards. We know how to pierce this corporate veil to find the insurance coverage you need.
What should I do at the scene of a truck accident in Springfield?
Call 911 immediately. Do not admit fault or say “I’m okay” to anyone. Take photos of the truck’s markings, the license plate, and the DOT number on the cab. Get witness contact info, then seek medical attention immediately, even if you feel fine. See MoDOT’s safety guide for more on road safety.
