The 5 Most Important Truck Accident Facts You Need to Know

  • Since 2009, there has been a 52% increase in these types of injuries.
  • In 74% of all fatal cases involving a passenger vehicle, a large truck is also involved.
  • Tire flaws cause about 30% of all truck-caused accidents (the most prevalent reason).
  • The majority of these accidents take place during the day—from noon to 3 PM, which is up to 19%.
  • Out of all truck-related fatalities, 68% are passenger vehicle occupants.

 

Did you know that there are eleven million active trucks in the United States, many with overworked drivers carrying hazardous materials?
In 2016, around 475,000 significant truck accidents occurred from human error.
In addition, a Harvard study found that 25% of drivers have dozed off while driving, and 50% of professional truckers said the same thing.

With so many motorists relying on highways to get to work every day, one overworked truck driver can severely impact your life. After all, trucks weigh 20-30 times more than a regular automobile, which might significantly enhance the force and consequences of an accident.

If you or a loved one is involved in an accident with a truck, you’ll need the help of an attorney. Call us at (281) 475-4535
Truck drivers are insured in the millions, and there could be multiple causes for the accident. Having a lawyer on your side as soon as possible assures that your case is handled professionally. In cases involving trucks and trailers, determining which insurance coverage applies can be difficult because they may be insured by several firms and/or have acted negligently.

If you or a loved one was harmed in a truck accident, you are entitled to compensation for your damages.

However, negligent parties must be held accountable. Although big-rig transportation companies and their drivers are well insured, you may receive less than a complete and fair financial recovery if you go up against them alone. 

ClaimYourCase.com is a personal injury law firm that has been helping people for many years. We’re still in business because of our commitment to serving clients and fighting for the best possible outcome in their cases.

After a trucking accident, the company’s main objective is to evade responsibility. Many trucking companies have sufficient insurance but are reluctant to admit fault for wrecks. Therefore, they will spare no expense in legal fees to avoid liability and save money.   

ClaimYourCase.com attorneys will use aggressive legal tactics to build a solid case against the trucking firm and help you establish liability. We will fight for maximum compensation from all at-fault parties, whether commercial trucking firms or individual truckers. During insurance negotiations, we will not allow you to settle for less than your claim is worth.

Many types of car accident injuries can occur in a collision.
Some of the most common include:

Whiplash: This neck injury occurs when the head is suddenly jerked forward and backward. It can cause pain, stiffness, and headaches.

Head injuries: These can range from concussions to skull fractures. Head injuries are usually more serious if they involve loss of consciousness, vomiting, or severe headache.

Back injuries: include anything from sprains and strains to herniated discs and spinal cord damage. Back injuries can be excruciating and may require surgery to heal correctly.

Broken bones: Bones can be broken in car accidents if enough force is exerted on them. This can happen if you are hit by a car or if your car hits something hard, like a tree or another vehicle.

Internal injuries: occur when organs are damaged by the force of the collision. They can be severe and may require surgery to repair.

If you have been injured in a trucking accident, it is essential to seek medical attention immediately. Even if you think your injuries are minor, it is always best to get checked out by a doctor. Once you have been seen by a medical professional, you can start looking into filing a car accident injury claim.

What should I do following a truck accident? 

After a truck accident, there’s a lot of confusion. You should call the cops and any other emergency personnel as soon as possible to assist with any injuries or burns that may have occurred. The police will take extensive notes, statements from all the concerned parties, and any eyewitnesses, as well as photographs, in their accident reports. Take pictures of the damage to your car and any injuries you or any other passengers received if your phone’s camera is functional. Anything the police may have overlooked can be recorded this way.

What are the most common causes of truck accidents?

Truck accidents are frequently caused by driver error, despite the larger size and force of such disasters. Truck drivers often drive dangerously to meet corporate mileage requirements. In addition, they may be operating their truck while under the influence or distracted. Truckers are frequently on the road for thousands of miles each week, and if they aren’t well maintained, they can become hazardous quickly. While small cars should address worn brake pads or a shattered windshield as soon as possible, these problems may cause serious injuries or even death in a large truck. Defective parts in a car may not be the driver’s fault, but they can still turn deadly. In addition to the truck driver, your attorneys can determine whether a trucking firm or manufacturer is responsible for your injuries. Loading the beds of commercial vehicles must be done with care and in keeping with the law. If they are loaded incorrectly, the goods on board might fall off the truck and result in accidents and injuries.

What are the differences between truck accidents and car collisions?

Commercial freight trucks often weigh 80,000 pounds. Despite regulations that limit truck drivers’ daily drive time to ten hours, they are frequently given financial rewards for traveling long distances quickly; this can directly compromise the safety of other motorists. 

Truck drivers’ insurance policies are much larger than car accident policy limits. This often puts the total value of insurance millions, so you can be sure that the different carriers named in a lawsuit will do everything possible to prove they were not liable.

More Property Damage: Unlike regular cars on the road, 18-wheeler freight trucks are much larger and heavier. This additional weight will cause more damage to any surrounding property in the event of a crash.

More Serious Injuries: Car accident injuries are often much more severe and may necessitate extensive medical treatment and expenses. Injuries caused by a truck accident may be life-changing in many ways, ranging from massive whiplash to brain damage and substantial lacerations.

We will ensure you get the compensation you deserve for your truck accident-related injuries, which are often more severe than those from car accidents. Our experienced lawyers know how to calculate your current and future pain and suffering so that you can focus on what’s important: healing. So why wait? Contact ClaimYourCase.com at (281) 475-4535

Who is responsible for my truck accident?

You may be entitled to compensation if you’ve been hurt or a loved one was killed in a truck accident. It is not uncommon for these parties to dispute responsibility or liability for an incident. 

The truck driver, truck company, owner of the truck, company leasing the truck, and the company renting the trailer are all to blame. Injuries caused by trucks can be severe, including brain damage, spinal cord damage, disfigurement, burns, fractured bones, lacerations, paralysis, or even death.

There are several types of truck accident lawsuits, one being negligence. The suit is filed because injuries were received in the accident. These cases will focus on whether or not the truck driver was driving negligently.

The following are some of the most frequent symptoms of negligence:

Lack of experience, or loading the truck, driving an oversized truck on a narrow road, failure to see other vehicles, not obeying the traffic laws, employing unqualified truck drivers, poorly training truck drivers, etc.  

To be successful in a negligence lawsuit against a truck driver or truck company, the injured party will need to show that: 

The driver had a duty of care to other vehicles on the road 

This duty was breached through some action or inaction by the driver  

An injury occurred as a result  

The breach of duty caused said the injury

In certain situations, the owner of the trucking firm and manager, the truck’s owner, the driver’s employer, and their respective insurance carriers might be held accountable following an accident.

What will my attorney do to help me?

Truck accident lawyers have years of experience working with insurance companies to fight for you and your family. We not only understand the many strategies employed by insurance companies to reduce the amount you deserve, but we also maintain an extensive network of investigators who can examine every aspect of a collision. Following a crash, the trucking firm and its insurer will begin an immediate investigation at the scene. They may take eyewitness testimonies, take photographs of the damage site, and inspect vehicles to assess how significant an impact the collision has had on them. By sending a spoliation letter to the truck company, our lawyers can protect evidence from being lost or destroyed. This letter tells the truck company that they are required by law to keep records of evidence related to the case, such as driver logs and black box information. The spoliation letter is sent soon after an accident because some companies regularly destroy these types of records. Contact us to learn more (281) 475-4535

How is negligence  established following a truck accident?

To successfully receive damages from a company after an accident, you must show that the truck driver was negligent. To do this, your lawyer needs to establish the truck driver’s duty of care and how they breached it. Once this is done, you can begin collecting evidence of your injuries and related damages.

How is compensation determined following a truck accident?

There are two types of compensation available to those affected by accident involving a truck: economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages serve to cover the specific monetary costs, including the following: Here are a few examples of current medical expenses that may be covered: emergency room visits, hospital care, surgery, assistive devices, and appointments with approved medical professionals. Future medical expenses: financially supporting extensive future medical treatment and care. Lost Wages: Compensation for the wages lost from injury until the lawsuit was concluded. If the victim can show that the car accident caused them to lose some earning capacity, they may be compensated. The amount of compensation will be based on what the victim could have earned if the accident had not happened. Pain and Suffering: This includes compensation for the physical pain from injuries sustained in the crash. The payment amount is based on the nature of the injury, the extent of the pain, and the length of time the victim is expected to suffer. Mental anguish: compensation for emotional suffering associated with a truck accident, such as anxiety, humiliation, terror, worry, sadness, and other types of emotional suffering caused by the incident.

In the case of a family, if one spouse dies and the other remains alive but is unable to work due to loss of consortium (loss of services, assistance, aid, society), companionship/care of a loved one, or children’s needs can be compensated. In addition to economic and non-economic damages, punitive damages might be awarded if the defendant’s actions that caused the harm were willful, malicious, fraudulent, or reckless. Punitive damages are used to punish the wrongdoer and discourage similar conduct in the future. They can also be used to deter others from committing similar acts.

If you’ve been injured in a truck accident, you may wonder how much your claim is worth. The answer will depend on many factors unique to your case. Still, there are generally three types of damages that can be awarded in these cases: economic, non-economic, and punitive damages.

Economic damages are designed to compensate you for the financial losses you’ve incurred due to the accident. This includes medical bills, lost wages, and property damage. Non-economic damages are intended to cover the more intangible losses of an accident, such as pain and suffering or emotional distress. Punitive damages may also be awarded in cases where the defendant’s actions were particularly egregious or careless.

No two truck accident cases are exactly alike, so it’s essential to speak with an experienced attorney to get a better idea of how much your claim might be worth. An attorney can help you gather the necessary evidence and build a strong case for the compensation you deserve.
