Common Causes of Truck Accidents
Truck accidents are different from other types of motor vehicle accidents because commercial truck drivers and trucking operations must obey various state and federal rules. They can be held legally responsible if they cause accidents by violating these rules, such as:
- Speeding
- Using a cell phone while driving
- Not inspecting the vehicle
- Not properly securing the load
- Driving beyond hours of service limits
- Hiring unqualified or dangerous drivers
- Driving while impaired
- Failing to conduct required drug or alcohol screenings
An experienced truck accident lawyer can review your case to determine how the accident happened.
Financial Compensation You Can Recover After a Truck Accident
Truck accidents tend to result in serious injuries due to the massive difference in size between a tractor-trailer and a passenger vehicle. Truck accident victims can seek compensation for the full extent of losses they experienced, including:
- Medical expenses for emergency treatment and medical bills you initially incurred after the accident
- Payment for ongoing medical expenses, including rehabilitation and therapy
- Future medical expenses, including surgeries and hospital stays
- Lost wages for time you missed from work
- The reduced earning capacity you experienced due to suffering a permanent disability or impairment
- Costs to repair or replace your damaged vehicle
- Physical and emotional pain and suffering
- Psychological trauma, including the onset of PTSD, anxiety, or depression
- Loss of quality of life
- Impaired relationships caused by the accident or your disabilities
At Handy & Handy, we aggressively pursue compensation to cover the full extent of your losses. Truck accidents have a higher chance of being fatal due to the large size and weight of commercial vehicles — contact a South Jordan wrongful death lawyer today to get the justice your loved one deserves.
