Truck accidents are usually more complicated than standard car accident cases. That's partly because they often involve more severe injuries and damages (which motivates insurance companies to fight back even harder), multiple potentially liable parties, and complex laws.

Liability usually falls on the truck driver. But there are situations where you can file a claim against the trucking company, truck manufacturer, a government agency, or other entities responsible for the truck's maintenance and loading.

Where applicable, the compensation you may be entitled to could account for medical expenses, lost wages, vehicle repair costs, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and the loss of enjoyment of life (or consortium). In cases where the at-fault party was extremely negligent leading up to the accident, the court might award you punitive damages.

You have about two years from the accident date to file a claim. If you miss this deadline, it won't matter how strong your case is—you'll lose your right to sue.

Because we have access to powerful legal resources, we can help gather strong evidence to support your case. This includes but is not limited to the truck's black box data, driver's logs, maintenance records, accident scene photos, expert opinions, and eyewitness accounts.

Yes, such a case would fall under the legal umbrella of wrongful death. This claim can cover funeral and burial expenses, lost income, and loss of companionship.

It's always advisable to consult with a truck accident attorney before accepting any offer. Initial offers may not fully cover your long-term expenses and damages, and that's one thing insurance companies won't tell you, but your attorney will. 

You have rights that deserve to be protected after a truck accident. Don't let the other party trick you into settling for less or nothing at all.
