Liability

Medical bills as well as other losses could be overwhelming if involved in a semi-truck collision. To ensure you get the full amount you're due it is important to determine who's responsible for your losses. A lawyer experienced in handling truck accidents can help you determine this. Based on the circumstances that led to the accident, a variety of parties could be held accountable for your damages and losses.

Liability is determined through a thorough investigation of the incident.

During this time, your lawyer may also ask experts to inspect the truck and its components to identify any issues that contributed to the accident. This is lengthy and costly, but it is essential to uncovering the facts of your case.

The driver may be liable for injuries you sustained when they were distracted, speeding, driving recklessly through intersections and sharp turns and failing to take necessary breaks. In some instances the truck driver's employer may be responsible for their actions, especially if they implemented unreasonable delivery schedules that push drivers to work beyond the safe limits.

Trucking companies may also be held responsible for accidents that result because of improper loading, shipping, or securing of cargo. For example in the event that a cargo shifts while on the road, it could cause a truck to jackknife and collide with motorists. Additionally, a truck's cargo might explode if it is not secured or loaded according to federal regulations.

A accident caused by a truck component that is malfunctioning or poor maintenance may also result in an action in court. A semi truck accident lawyer can look over the evidence and investigate the matter. The manufacturer of the semi-truck or trailer, a mechanic who repaired it, or even a third-party that supplied a component of the vehicle could be held accountable in certain cases.

During the litigation process, all parties will enter into what is called discovery. During this time, your lawyers may trade documents, photos, and witness statements.

Damages

Around six million accidents occur on US roads every year. While these incidents often result in minor property damage, they can also cause severe injuries for many victims.

In a jackknife incident the trailer of one truck could fold under the rear of a vehicle or over a stray object on the road.

One other thing that we'd recommend against is speaking to insurance representatives or the at-fault parties themselves on your own.

We can manage all interactions with the insurance company as well as the at-fault parties to prevent this from happening.
