Helping You Understand Truck Accident Settlements & Verdicts
Personal injury and wrongful death cases are not all the same, and truck accidents present many unique challenges. Accidents involving semi-trucks are often much more complex than average car accidents because they can involve multiple responsible parties.
Some common causes of truck accidents are:
- Truck driver fatigue
- Driving schedules that are too demanding
- Improperly loaded trucks
- Overloaded trucks
- Trucks that have been poorly maintained
- Driving too fast
- Truck driver intoxication
- Lack of adequate trucking experience or training
Figuring out why the truck accident happened will clarify which insurance policy will apply. Often, more than one policy will apply. A dedicated lawyer will understand how to prepare and present claims tailored to the requirements for each insurer.
Evidence Gathering Requires Expertise
Another major consideration is that it is not enough to merely show that a truck driver or equipment malfunction caused an accident that resulted in juries or death. To collect on insurance claims or succeed with a civil lawsuit, the victim must show that a specific act of negligence or instance of reckless behavior led to the crash. The victim must then show that the crash created the harm he or she suffered.
Larger Vehicles Cause More Damage & More Severe Injuries
Victims involved in collisions with large trucks tend to inflict much more severe injuries than car crashes. As the cost of a truck accident rises, so does the likelihood that insurance companies will dispute or reject claims for fair and adequate compensation.
