How Truck Accidents Differ from Car Crashes
You might have handled your own car accident, but you will definitely benefit from hiring a lawyer for a truck accident claim. An experienced lawyer will more efficiently provide quality legal representation tailored to the facts of your case.
Here is how those accidents are different:
- More possible defendants. In addition to a negligent trucker, you might end up suing the owner of the truck, a loading company, mechanics, or a parts manufacturer. With so many defendants, you need help untangling all the facts to identify the correct responsible defendant.
- More serious injuries and possible compensation. Heavy trucks can destroy lighter vehicles. Passengers can suffer life-altering injuries, including severe traumatic brain injuries, paralysis, and amputations. With so much money in play, trucking companies are more aggressive defending themselves. They typically send investigators to the scene within an hour to start gathering evidence to use in their defense.
- Federal regulations. The trucking industry is centrally regulated by the federal government, which has adopted many rules for truckers and commercial vehicles. These regulations might come into play with a truck accident case. We can use any violation to help show the trucker was negligent.
- Different evidence. Truck accident cases rely on different evidence than car accidents, including data from a recorder on the truck. Your lawyer can track down this evidence and use it when negotiating a settlement.
Remember to hire a lawyer who has tackled many truck accident claims. Our firm will know how to gather the right evidence and use it in negotiations. We can fight for the maximum compensation.
