What Makes Truck Accident Cases So Complex?

Several factors make truck accident cases more complex than the average car accident case, including:

Involvement of Several Parties

The trucking industry involves many moving parts. Various parties can be responsible for truck accidents, such as:

Trucking companies
Truck brokers
Cargo-loading companies
Truck drivers
Mechanics
Manufacturers

Our experienced legal team can conduct an in-depth investigation to identify all at-fault parties and sources of financial compensation.

Federal Trucking Regulations

While all motorists must follow state rules for safe driving, interstate haulers are required to follow strict federal regulations that dictate everything from the requirements to drive a commercial vehicle, inspections, and maintenance of vehicles to how goods must be tied down and how many hours a driver can work before being required to take a break. An experienced attorney can determine whether the at-fault parties violated any of these rules, which contributed to the accident.

Extensive Damages

Trucks weigh much more than the average passenger vehicle. When a collision occurs between these two types of vehicles, the occupants in the much smaller passenger vehicle tend to suffer serious injuries and damages. When high damages are involved, trucking companies and insurance companies will fight harder to deny liability.

These factors make it necessary for you to hire a lawyer experienced in handling truck accident claims, who knows how to preserve valuable evidence and demand that evidence be turned over. An experienced attorney can also identify the full extent of your damages and aggressively demand fair compensation.

Common Causes of Truck Accidents

Truck drivers are often in a hurry to get their deliveries to the next destination so they can get paid and return to their families faster. While trucking is an essential part of our economy, the demand for fast deliveries leads to accidents caused by:

Speeding
Fatigued driving
Impaired driving
Distracted driving
Inexperienced drivers
Maintenance issues
Failure to complete inspections or make necessary repairs
Unsecured loads

The legal team at Handy & Handy can investigate your case to determine the factors that contributed to your accident and demand full and fair compensation from all responsible parties. Motorcyclists are often so small, they are hidden in a truck’s blindspot — if you were involved in a collision due to a case like this, please contact a motorcycle accident lawyer in Ogden today to get the compensation you deserve.

What Financial Compensation Can I Receive After a Truck Accident?

Because truck accidents tend to result in severe injuries, accident victims may be entitled to compensation for their:

Medical bills
Future medical expenses
Lost wages
Reduced earning capacity
Property damage repairs or replacement
Household services
Out-of-pocket expenses
Pain and suffering
Reduced quality of life
Loss of consortium

Our attorneys are prepared to fight for every cent you are owed. Contact us today to get started.
