Commercial trucks are very large, heavy-duty vehicles that can weigh anywhere between 10,000 to 80,000 pounds. In comparison, the average passenger vehicle can weigh anywhere between 3,000 to 5,000 pounds. When a truck collides with your motor vehicle, you can sustain very serious injuries, including the following:
If you are in an accident with a truck driver, you may be eligible to collect financial compensation through a truck accident lawsuit. To secure compensation, you will need to prove that the at-fault party’s negligence caused the collision. The at-fault party will be the person or entity whose actions caused the accident.
Truck accidents are different from many other car accidents because the driver is working at the time of the accidents. Not only is the driver potentially liable for your damages, but his or her employer may also be liable as well. Trucking companies must adhere to strict Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations, which set rules for driving hours, cargo loading, logging, maintenance, and other important safety standards. You could file a lawsuit against the driver and his or her company if they violate FMCSA standards or the driver engages in reckless, dangerous, or illegal driving behaviors.
If the accident occurred due to a vehicle defect, you may be able to hold the manufacturer of the defective part liable for your damages. In cases involving dangerous road conditions, you could file a claim against the government agency responsible for maintaining the road. To determine your optimal pathway to maximum recovery, speak to an attorney at Colburn Law.
Truck accident claims are very different from standard car accident cases. You may need to face the trucking company and its legal counsel in the courtroom, try to secure important pieces of evidence from the driver’s employer, and be unable to calculate your damages.
