What Makes Trucking Accidents Different
NOT YOUR AVERAGE CRASH
THE RESPONSIBLE PARTIES In a standard car accident, fault is found with the parties involved in the accident. While both of these parties are involved in trucking accident cases, there are additional grounds for fault. The trucking industry is heavily regulated. When these regulations are skirted, you have recourse to bring a claim against the trucking company itself. For example, if a company knowingly allowed the driver to stay behind the wheel beyond their legal hours limit, the company can be held responsible. THE EVIDENCE While trucking accidents involve all of the evidence used in standard car accident cases, there is often more information available for those who know where to look. Many trucks have black box data that could be used in your case. Additionally, an experienced attorney will look for evidence of faulty equipment, insufficient training, improper maintenance, and any other relevant information. Often, companies will not willingly part with this information, which is why a thorough attorney is so essential.
Many people assume that trucking accident cases proceed like garden- variety car accident claims. While the reasoning behind this thinking is understandable —18-wheelers are a type of motor vehicle, after all — the first thing you need to understand about trucking accidents is that they are NOT like your typical car
accident. Here are the most significant ways that crashes involving large trucks are unique and why you need an experienced attorney to handle your case.
THE INJURIES This one is the result of simple math. Trucks weigh a lot more than passenger vehicles and generate more force. The disparity in power often results in serious injuries like paralysis, brain damage, and even death. Receiving full compensation for these injuries, including compensation for future treatment, requires working with your doctor to understand the full impact of your injuries. It’s also important to note how these injuries affect your married life, as your spouse may be eligible for compensation for damage caused to your marriage.
