How Can a Sandy Truck Accident Lawyer Help?
Accidents involving semi trucks can be devastating because these commercial vehicles are so large and heavy. Our truck accident lawyers have extensive experience dealing with these types of cases. We can help you through every step of the process, including:
Investigation – We can deploy a rapid response team to investigate your accident before critical evidence is lost or destroyed. We determine the cause of the accident and identify all at-fault parties.
Evidence preservation and gathering – Valuable evidence may be available to show how the accident happened, but you need to know how to obtain it. Our law firm can send spoliation of evidence letters, subpoenas, and other legal demands to secure driver logs, vehicle maintenance records, damaged trucks, and black boxes to aid in your case.
Liability determination – Truck accidents can involve multiple parties who share in liability for the accident, including truck drivers, companies, and manufacturers. We can identify all at-fault parties and sources of compensation.
Negotiation – We negotiate for the financial compensation you deserve. If the insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement, we fight for your deserved compensation in court.
Our attorneys have over five decades of legal experience and are among Utah’s Legal Elite. Call us today to speak with a compassionate member of our legal team.
Common Causes of Truck Accidents
Truck accidents happen every day. The leading causes of these tragic crashes include:
- Speeding – Truck drivers are often under strict deadlines to make deliveries, leading them to speed and engage in other forms of aggressive driving.
- Distracted driving – Drivers may be distracted by cell phones, dispatch radios, GPS systems, or other things, taking their attention off the roadway.
- Drowsy driving – Truck driver’s strict delivery requirements may be unrealistic. Trucking companies may actively encourage drivers to violate hours of service rules, leading to accidents caused by distracted driving.
- Unqualified drivers – Truck driving is a difficult job, so it’s often difficult for trucking companies to keep fully staffed operations. This can lead to them hiring unqualified, inexperienced, or dangerous drivers.
- Vehicle issues – Worn brakes or tires can cause some accidents.
When you hire Handy & Handy, we will thoroughly investigate the factors that contributed to the accident and seek to hold all negligent parties accountable for the full extent of your losses.
What Is the Deadline to File a Truck Accident Lawsuit in Utah?
While Utah has a long four-year statute of limitations to file a personal injury lawsuit, you do not want to wait that long. Trucking companies may send accident response teams to remove the truck and other evidence from the scene. They may destroy or lose evidence if there is not an experienced personal injury lawyer holding them accountable. Call a personal injury lawyer today to protect your rights.
