FAQs
How is compensation calculated for truck accident injuries?
Compensation may cover medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and future medical needs. In cases of gross negligence, such as violations of federal trucking regulations, punitive damages may also be awarded.
What evidence is important in a truck accident case?
Critical evidence includes the truck's black box data, driver logs, maintenance records, dashcam footage, accident scene photos, and witness statements. Preserving evidence quickly is crucial, as trucking companies may try to limit access.
Who can be held liable in a truck accident?
Liability may extend beyond the truck driver to include the trucking company, cargo loaders, maintenance providers, or even manufacturers of defective truck parts. An attorney can help identify all responsible parties to maximize your compensation.
What makes truck accidents different from car accidents?
Truck accidents often involve larger vehicles, more severe injuries, and multiple liable parties, such as the driver, trucking company, or vehicle manufacturer. Federal regulations, like hours-of-service rules, also play a significant role in determining liability.
