Truck Accident FAQs
1. What should I do immediately after a truck accident?
After a truck accident, it's crucial to prioritize your safety and gather essential information. Ensure everyone involved receives medical attention, exchange insurance details, take photos of the scene, and contact law enforcement. Promptly consulting with a truck accident lawyer can also help protect your legal rights.
2. Who can be held liable in a truck accident case?
Liability in a truck accident case can extend beyond the truck driver to include the trucking company, vehicle manufacturer, maintenance providers, and others. Determining liability requires a thorough investigation and understanding of federal and state trucking regulations.
3. What damages can I recover in a truck accident claim?
Victims of truck accidents may be entitled to various damages, including medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and in some cases, punitive damages. A skilled truck accident attorney can assess your case to determine the full extent of damages you may claim.
4. How is a truck accident case different from a car accident case?
