Truck Accident Complexities

Truck accident lawsuits are not the same as those involving other motor vehicle mishaps. They are far more complex because of the number of factors involved.

First, you will likely have suffered more serious injuries in a truck accident. The disparity in size between the truck and your passenger car unleashes a tremendous amount of force. Therefore, truck accident injuries tend to be more extensive, and they often result in more compensation.

Second, there are more issues than just proving that the truck driver was responsible for the crash. Much of your case may center on the trucking company and whether it complied with federal regulations. Trucking companies are subject to a myriad of rules, and you may make your case when you can prove that it broke one of them in connection with your crash.

Third, there is a trucking company that is involved in your lawsuit. When a truck driver has been involved in an accident in the scope of their employment duties, their employer is responsible for the damages that they cause. Trucking companies often have large insurance policies, and there is a great deal of money at stake. The fact that your damages could be higher means that the insurance company would play hardball with your case because they do not want to write a large check.  Therefore, you can expect a truck accident claim to be a legal battle and one that requires an experienced attorney to wage on your behalf.  Cases that involve large amounts of money would necessarily take longer.
