What Makes a Trucking Accident Different Than a Car Accident?
Trucking accidents are in a class of their own and differ from car accident cases in many ways. When it comes to an accident involving a truck or semi, liability can extend far beyond the driver, to the owner of the truck, the load’s shipper, the driver's trucking company, the broker, and the truck driver's employer. The stakes are often quite higher than in an automobile accident claim. The chance of death and life-threatening injuries is far higher.
In addition, truck drivers and their companies must adhere to rules and regulations that are often quite different than for automobile drivers. For instance, those involved in interstate commerce are typically governed by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Act, while each state has its own regulations for commercial motor vehicles. These rules cover things such as hours of service, maintenance of vehicles, the qualification of drivers, route planning, load securement, and more. Non-compliance with these regulations can significantly impact the outcome of a trucking injury case compared to when all rules are properly followed.
Armed with an understanding of the nature of trucking accidents and the rules that govern truck drivers, Alpha Law Group has specialized knowledge to help you get the settlement you deserve. When it comes to proving complicated injuries that often occur after a truck driving accident, such as orthopedic and brain injuries, you need a lawyer who can fight for you.
What Insurance Coverage Do Truck Drivers Carry?
Trucking companies are required by law to carry significantly higher insurance coverage than car drivers due to the greater potential for severe injuries in trucking accidents. Multiple parties and insurance policies can be involved in a truck driving accident case. Therefore, it's crucial to have an attorney who can identify and access all possible insurance coverage if you suffer a serious injury in a trucking accident.
How Do I Prove Who is At Fault?
Proving whose at fault is a complex task that is exceedingly difficult without highly-skilled legal counsel. It can be incredibly difficult to prove who is at fault in any accident. In a trucking accident the stakes are often much higher. Therefore, it is vital to contact an attorney immediately if you are in a trucking accident.
Evidence of the crash must be preserved so that you have a higher chance of winning. Our attorneys are experienced at retrieving information such as maintenance records, drivers’ logs, surveillance footage, computer files, and witness statements. The sooner you contact a knowledgeable attorney, the better.
In a serious trucking case, an attorney will hire expert witnesses who can reconstruct an accident or access hard-to-find information. Having an attorney who will go out and investigate immediately and spend the time and resources to prove your case is vital. Alpha Law Group’s attorneys know the ins and outs of finding the information to give you the chance of success that you deserve.
What is My Trucking Claim Worth?
There are many factors at play when it comes to figuring out the worth of a trucking accident. These factors include but are not limited to, the circumstances and facts of the accident in question, the strength of evidence and applicable laws, the local laws where the case is brought, and the strength and credibility of witnesses.
In addition, the client’s injuries, medical treatment costs, and the impact on the injured individual’s quality of life and future employability, pain and suffering, and disability status all come into play.
Calculating damages can be a difficult legal process. The various types of damages that may be recoverable in a trucking accident, depending on the particular circumstances, include:
•Medical bills (both past and future).
•Lost wages and earning capacity.
•Property damage.
•Loss of enjoyment of life.
•Pain and suffering.
•Loss of consortium.
•Emotional distress.
•Punitive damages for extreme recklessness or malicious conduct under state law.
Due to the uniqueness of every trucking accident claim, it is difficult to ascertain the dollar amount that a client may recover. It is especially difficult to give a particular expected amount at the beginning of a case. Once all the evidence is assembled, attorneys are better able to give a rough estimate of a value range. Any attorney that gives a specific value to your case immediately doesn’t understand the complexity of such cases.
Don’t Make The Mistake of Hesitating To Contact An Attorney Immediately
Delaying seeking legal representation for your trucking accident case can negatively affect the value of your case. This is because there are statutes of limitations in place to protect parties after enough time has passed.
A statute of limitation means that after a certain time has passed, a case can not be brought to court. Different legal issues have different statutes of limitations. The reasoning is that concrete evidence and memories are harder to come by after enough time has passed. People forget key events in the passing of time. Sadly, many people wait until it’s too late and they are without recourse. Don’t let this happen to you!
The passage of time also means that it is less likely that all of the important evidence will exist when you pursue the case. Information is often destroyed, witnesses move and become difficult to contact, footage is deleted, and information is forgotten. It is best that a witness is spoken with as soon as possible from the time of the accident.
In addition, many insurance companies have notification deadlines. If your case is not filed in time or if you have not given appropriate notice, the accident victim is not able to make a claim against the policy.
With all that in mind, the best time to contact a truck-driving accident attorney is immediately. Even if some time has passed, contact us today so that we can help you on your road to recovery. Your case is important to us. Alpha Law Group’s attorneys are available around the clock to speak with you, so do not hesitate to contact us.
