Injuries, Damages, & Fault in Truck Accident Cases
If you have
been in a truck accident, you may be experiencing serious injuries, such as paralysis, traumatic
brain injuries, multiple fractures, or worse. These can create a number
of painful damages such as lost wages, hefty medical costs, loss of employability
and job opportunities, and even worse—loss of life. There are a
number of potential causes in truck accidents
- Lack of appropriate training and licensure by the driver (i.e. negligent
hiring practices)
- Trucking companies forcing drivers to drive early in the morning or late at night
- Delayed or improper reaction to roadway conditions by driver
- Defective, poorly designed, or damaged truck parts
- Use of illegal or prescription drugs while driving
- Drunk, drowsy, or distracted driving
- Poorly maintained roadways
- Bad weather
Regardless of the reason for your truck accident, you are going to need
help recovering the funds you need to afford rehabilitation, surgery,
medication, and other injury-related costs.
