    Can I Recover Compensation for My Truck Accident?

    Accidents involving commercial trucks can happen for various reasons. Accidents still occur even though trucking companies and drivers must follow strict state and federal safety rules. To recover compensation, you must show that someone else's negligence caused the accident—whether it was the truck driver, the trucking company, or another driver on the road.

    Here are some examples of negligence that could lead to a truck accident:

    • Speeding
    • Drunk or impaired driving
    • Failing to yield the right of way
    • Overloaded or improperly secured cargo
    • Mechanical or maintenance failures
    • Violating Hours of Service regulations (driving for too long without breaks)
    • Distracted driving, like texting or using a phone
    • Improper lane changes or failure to signal
    • Ignoring hazardous weather conditions
    • Running stop signs or red lights

    Proving negligence in a truck accident can be complicated, so it's essential to have a skilled attorney review your case. We can help you determine eligibility for compensation and guide you on the best steps forward.

    Dealing with Insurance Companies After a Truck Accident

    After a truck accident, you'll likely hear from insurance adjusters who want to get a statement from you or offer a quick settlement. It's essential to be careful when dealing with insurance companies because they often try to minimize what they have to pay.

    Here are a few tips for handling insurance after a truck accident:

    Don't give a recorded statement without talking to a lawyer first. Insurance companies might try to use your words against you later.

    Be cautious with early settlement offers. These offers may not cover all your future medical bills and other expenses, especially if your recovery takes time.

    Hire a lawyer to handle negotiations with the insurance company. Insurance adjusters work to protect their company's bottom line, but a truck accident attorney will fight to make sure you get fair compensation for your injuries.
