The sheer weight and size of a commercial vehicle can do a lot of damage to both your property and your body. In fact, it is estimated that large truck accidents are 10 times more likely to cause a fatality than a crash involving two passenger vehicles.
Oftentimes, a large vehicle crash will leave the victim with horrible injuries such as:
- Back and Neck Injuries
- Head Injuries
- Broken Bones
- Lacerations
- Internal Injuries
- Rib and Torso Injuries
- Injuries Cause By The Seat Belt
- Spinal Cord Injuries
- Paralysis
- Wrongful Death
When a commercial vehicle driver is acting negligently by speeding, ignoring maintenance checks and procedures before setting out on the road, distracted driving, driving while intoxicated, drowsy driving, or in any other unsafe way, a tragedy is just one wrong move away.
Why You Need an Experienced Truck Accident Attorney
Many victims of truck accidents hire regular car accident lawyers believing that this will work just fine. But the truth is that only certain lawyers are qualified to handle a large truck accident. Because there are some major differences between commercial trucks and traditional automobiles, it is important that the lawyer you hire has the ability to make the most out of your specific case.
Some of the major difference that can have a major effect on the compensation you obtain include:
- Size Difference. Because fully loaded semi-trucks can weigh up to 80,000 pounds, truck accidents tend to cause far more severe injuries. You will need a lawyer who will be able to effectively advocate for you and your varied injuries.
- Liability Differences. In truck accident claims, there may be more than one liable party. Determining liability between the driver, the company employing them, and the manufacturer of the truck can be complicated. A lawyer familiar with semi-truck related laws can ensure that the right parties are held responsible.
- Legal Challenges. Truck companies can afford to hire multiple lawyers. Without a knowledgeable and experienced accident lawyer on your side, you run the risk of having your claim denied.
