Truck and commercial vehicle accidents are distinct from typical car accidents due to the sheer size and weight of these vehicles. Collisions involving large trucks, semi-trailers, or commercial delivery vehicles may result in more severe injuries or fatalities because of the immense force involved. Victims of these accidents may experience catastrophic injuries such as broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, or internal injuries. These cases also present additional legal complexities, as multiple parties, including the driver, the trucking company, and the vehicle manufacturer, may be liable.
Unlike standard car accidents, truck accidents are governed by both state and federal regulations, including those from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). These laws dictate hours of service, vehicle maintenance requirements, and driver qualifications, making the legal landscape more intricate. Our network of attorneys have extensive experience handling truck accident claims and are familiar with these regulations. They work to ensure the proper accountability of all responsible parties, whether through settlements or litigation.
At YourAccident.com, we connect victims of truck and commercial vehicle accidents with experienced attorneys who specialize in navigating the complexities of these cases. Our affiliated attorneys handle every aspect of your claim, from investigating the cause of the accident to negotiating with insurance companies and trucking corporations. Trucking companies may have powerful legal teams and large insurers working to minimize payouts, which makes it crucial to have strong representation on your side.
The legal professionals we work with know how to counter the tactics used by these companies, including disputing any claims of shared liability or negligence on the part of the victim. They collect vital evidence such as driver logs, vehicle maintenance records, and black box data to build a strong case. Additionally, our network of lawyers work closely with medical experts to fully assess your injuries and future care needs, ensuring that your compensation reflects not only immediate damages but also long-term costs related to recovery.
