464. Eight-Figure Trucking Settlements Start With What Most PI Lawyers Miss | Maxey Scherr, Scherr Law Firm

Every truck accident case looks like a car wreck—until you start investigating it. Maxey Scherr, founder of Scherr Law Firm, explains why treating an 18-wheeler crash like a standard auto case can cost both lawyers and clients millions. After spending 14 years practicing at her father's firm, Maxey founded Scherr Law Firm to focus exclusively on trucking accidents, traumatic brain injuries, and product liability. She became the first woman in Texas and New Mexico to earn board certification in trucking litigation and recently secured an eight-figure settlement on half of a single trucking case, making her one of the country's leading voices in commercial trucking litigation. In this episode, Maxey explains what separates trucking litigation from everyday PI cases, why early investigation determines case value, and how experienced trucking lawyers uncover additional insurance coverage, liable parties, and product defects that many firms miss. You'll learn: Why trucking accident cases require a different litigation strategy than ordinary car wrecks. How to investigate commercial trucking companies before critical evidence disappears. What additional insurance policies and liable parties PI lawyers often overlook. Why specialization leads to stronger trucking settlements and safer roads.
