Truck Accident Attorney in Des Moines

Truck accidents happen mostly because someone somewhere didn’t do the right thing. It could be a truck driver, an employer, a parts manufacturer, a road construction company, or even a government agency. 

That said, these accidents can occur due to any of the following reasons: 

• Driver error
• Speeding
• Driver fatigue
• Distracted driving
• Mechanical failures
• Environmental conditions
• Improper loading of cargo

When assessing the value of your claim after a truck accident, several factors may come into play. Depending on the circumstances of your case, you may be entitled to compensation for: 

• Medical expenses, both current and future
• Lost wages, if you cannot work due to injuries 
• Pain and suffering
• Permanent disability or disfigurement,
• Emotional distress
• Loss of enjoyment of life, among other damages.

Our truck accident attorneys can help investigate the accident, establish the damages you may be entitled to, and also determine where to file the claim.

The whole point of filing a truck accident claim is to seek compensation for your injuries and losses. You may consider this option if:

• you sustained serious injuries from a truck accident;
• your vehicle or other property has suffered considerable damage;
• the accident was clearly caused by the other party;
• you're unable to work due to the injuries sustained from the accident; or
• multiple parties could be responsible for the accident.

Note that these are just examples and not a complete list of scenarios where filing a claim may be warranted. Once we’ve reviewed the specifics of your case, we’ll be able to tell whether filing a claim is the right way to proceed.
