Truck Accident Litigation

Truck accident litigation refers to personal injury lawsuits in which victims of truck crashes seek compensation for their medical bills, permanent disabilities, property damage, lost wages and pain and suffering. Victims will likely have an accident case and be entitled to a settlement when another party – including other drivers, a trucking company or a vehicle parts manufacturer – contributes to or worsens a trucking accident.

Valid Truck Accident Litigation Claims

Injured victims will most likely qualify to recover compensation if they’re accident involves one of the following:

Driver fatigue, distraction, inexperience and/or intoxication
Careless and/or reckless driving, including failure to obey traffic laws, speeding, running red lights and unsafely changing lanes
Improperly loaded cargo or poorly hitched trailers
Poor signage, lighting and/or road conditions
Vehicle part defects, malfunctions or failure, which can affect any part of the car – from the gas tank and fuel system to the brake system and tires

Such factors can result in a number of severe injuries, including (not limited to):

Bone fractures
Burns
Disfigurement
Electrocution
Injuries to the internal organs
Internal bleeding
Irreversible spinal injuries
Lacerations
Loss of limb
Loss of vision and/or hearing
Permanent disabilities
Traumatic brain injury

In many cases, these truck accident injuries will require surgery, as well as long-term physical therapy and follow-up care.

Building a Winning Case

Most major truck companies have their own lawyers who will fight aggressively on behalf of their drivers, even if they are at fault. Therefore, it is important to hire a personal injury attorney who has experience in handling truck accident lawsuits and will not be afraid to fight against large companies.
