Motor vehicle accidents are no small matter. When you’re behind the wheel, it takes only a single careless decision to change countless lives forever. Personal injury attorneys can help handle the legal fallout of these cases and be invaluable when an accident involves a large truck. Trucking accidents are even more complicated than motor accidents that involve only Danger on the Roads What Makes Trucking Cases Different? Due to the massive size of these trucks — well over 10,000 pounds — the damages caused by a crash are often far worse. It’s estimated that 10 percent of people who are injured in an accident involving a large truck will die as a result. The other 90 percent face a lifetime of struggles due to their injuries. Brain damage, paralysis, psychological trauma, and other permanent disabilities are common in survivors of truck accidents. It is crucial these victims receive compensation not just for treatment immediately following the accident but to cover any needed ongoing medical care for the rest of their lives. WHO’S RESPONSIBLE? In a car accident, the drivers involved in the crash assume some degree of responsibility for the wreck. But in a trucking accident case, the blame may go even deeper. Because large cars or motorcycles for a number of reasons. THE NATURE OF YOUR INJURIES
trucks pose such a danger, the industry is heavily regulated. Unfortunately, these life-saving regulations are often ignored in favor of making a profit. When this happens, injured victims may be able to seek compensation from the trucking company. In some circumstances, the case may even involve government entities or other third parties. FINDING EVIDENCE Evidence is necessary to win any case, but when you’re dealing with a trucking accident, the trick is knowing where to look for that evidence. For example, many trucks have “black box” data that can be used to show the conditions of the vehicle at the time of the accident. You may also need to determine if insufficient training, pressure from the trucking company, or faulty equipment contributed to the accident. Because companies can resist providing this information, attorneys need to have experience looking for and obtaining the evidence. Trucking accidents aren’t like other car crashes. If you are seeking compensation after a trucking accident, make sure you have a team who knows what you need. Give us a call at 815- 726-9999 and let our experienced attorneys take care of you.
