How Can Victoria Law Help You After a Truck Accident?

You may wonder what compensation you can receive for a truck accident claim. A truck accident claim can cover various types of damages to alleviate the sudden financial burden caused by the accident. Compensation may include emergency medical bills, including ambulance costs, surgical procedures, X-rays, scans, and medication. As well as, long-term medical expenses, physical and occupational therapy, mental health care for issues such as PTSD or anxiety, lost wages and career disruptions, lost contributions to family and household, property damage, pain and suffering, emotional anguish, and injury to lifestyle.

It's essential to understand the value of your claim and not underestimate its worth. Some losses are not easily quantifiable in monetary terms, such as the disruption to your ability to earn an income, pain and suffering, and other intangible losses. At Victoria Law, we will consider the specifics of your accident and its impact on your daily life to calculate a fair settlement value for your truck accident.

Common Causes of Truck Accidents

Driver error is a leading cause of most truck accidents. While truck drivers should exercise extra caution, their actions often result in severe injuries. Common causes of truck accidents include:

• Failure to follow federally mandated hours of service regulations.

• Speeding to cover excessive mile requirements.

• Distractions like texting or talking on the phone.

• Lack of training and poor employee oversight.

• Hiring unqualified drivers.

• Loading errors or failure to secure loads properly.

• Inadequate vehicle maintenance and inspection.

• Driving under the influence.

• Reckless driving.

• Failure to maintain a safe following distance.

Determining the cause of the accident may involve multiple factors, and our truck accident lawyers can assist you in investigating and establishing liability. Various parties may be legally responsible for the accident, including the truck driver, other vehicle drivers, truck owners, employers of truck drivers, vehicle manufacturers, and third parties who cause distractions or obstructions. Protecting your rights after a truck accident involves:

• Reporting the crash to law enforcement.

• Seeking medical attention promptly.

• Gathering relevant information.

• Contacting your insurance company.
