Why You Need a Truck Accident Attorney

Truck accidents are among the most devastating types of motor vehicle collisions, often resulting in severe injuries or even fatalities. The sheer size and weight of commercial trucks mean that when they are involved in an accident, the consequences can be catastrophic. Victims of truck accidents often face extensive medical bills, lost wages, and long-term rehabilitation, not to mention the emotional trauma of the event.

If you or a loved one has been involved in a truck accident, it is crucial to have an experienced truck accident attorney on your side. Truck accident cases are more complex than regular car accidents due to the numerous parties involved, including the truck driver, the trucking company, and the insurance companies. These cases also often involve federal regulations, such as those enforced by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), which adds another layer of complexity.

At Ironclad Injury Law, our truck accident attorneys are well-versed in the intricacies of these cases. We understand the unique challenges that truck accident victims face, and we are committed to helping you navigate the legal process to secure the compensation you deserve.

The Complexities of Truck Accident Cases

Truck accidents differ from other motor vehicle accidents in several key ways:

1. Multiple Liable Parties

In a truck accident, multiple parties may be held liable for your injuries. This could include the truck driver, the trucking company, the truck’s manufacturer, or even the company responsible for loading the cargo. Determining liability in a truck accident case requires a thorough investigation, and our attorneys have the experience to identify all responsible parties and hold them accountable.

2. Federal Regulations

Truck drivers and trucking companies must adhere to strict federal regulations, including hours-of-service (HOS) rules, weight limits, and maintenance requirements. Violations of these regulations can be a key factor in establishing liability in a truck accident case. Our attorneys are knowledgeable about FMCSA regulations and can use this knowledge to strengthen your case.

3. Severe Injuries

Due to the size and weight of commercial trucks, the injuries sustained in truck accidents are often severe and life-changing. Victims may suffer from traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, broken bones, and internal injuries. These injuries require extensive medical treatment and may lead to long-term or permanent disability. Our attorneys will work with medical experts to fully understand the extent of your injuries and ensure that your compensation reflects the true impact of the accident on your life.

4. Insurance Companies

Trucking companies and their insurers are often quick to offer settlements that are far below what victims deserve. These companies are focused on minimizing their financial liability, and they have teams of lawyers working to protect their interests. At Ironclad Injury Law, we are not intimidated by big insurance companies. We know their tactics and are prepared to fight for the full compensation you deserve.

Types of Truck Accidents We Handle

Our experienced truck accident attorneys at Ironclad Injury Law handle a wide range of truck accident cases, including:

  • Rear-End Collisions: When a truck rear-ends another vehicle, the results can be devastating due to the truck’s momentum and weight.
  • Jackknife Accidents: These occur when the trailer of a truck swings out to form a 90-degree angle with the cab, often leading to multi-vehicle collisions.
  • Rollover Accidents: Trucks are more prone to rollovers due to their high center of gravity, especially when taking curves at high speeds or when the cargo is improperly loaded.
  • Underride Accidents: These occur when a smaller vehicle slides under the rear or side of a truck, often leading to catastrophic injuries or fatalities.
  • Wide Turn Accidents: Trucks require more space to make wide turns, and when drivers misjudge these turns, they can collide with nearby vehicles.
  • Tire Blowouts: A tire blowout on a large truck can cause the driver to lose control, leading to serious accidents.
  • Cargo-Related Accidents: Improperly loaded or unsecured cargo can shift during transit, causing the truck to become unbalanced or lose control.

What to Do After a Truck Accident

If you are involved in a truck accident, the steps you take immediately afterward can significantly impact your ability to recover compensation. Here’s what you should do:

  1. Seek Medical Attention: Your health and safety are the top priority. Even if you feel fine, it’s essential to get checked out by a medical professional, as some injuries may not be immediately apparent.
  2. Document the Scene: If possible, take photos of the accident scene, including the vehicles involved, any visible injuries, road conditions, and any relevant signs or signals.
  3. Gather Information: Collect the contact information of the truck driver, any witnesses, and the trucking company. Be sure to note the truck’s license plate number and the company’s name.
  4. Report the Accident: Notify your insurance company about the accident, but be cautious about providing too much information until you’ve spoken with an attorney.
  5. Contact a Truck Accident Attorney: Truck accident cases are complex, and it’s crucial to have an experienced attorney on your side from the start. Contact Ironclad Injury Law at (402) 541-5867 or email us at [email protected] for a free consultation.
