Why You Need a Truck Accident Lawyer in Teays Valley
Throughout the state, accidents with large trucks are no longer rare. In our area, with the interstate, Highway 60, and the numerous commercial areas, the risk of being in an accident is high. Hiring an attorney becomes critical for several reasons:
- Truck companies have a lot on the line. They will work hard to minimize any compensation paid to you. We do not let them hurt you even more than they already have.
- Insurance adjusters will try to put the blame on your shoulders. Under the state’s modified comparative negligence rule, if they can show you are 51% or higher to blame, they do not pay you anything. We protect you.
- You have serious injuries. You need time to focus on healing both physically and mentally. We take on the work for you.
For these reasons, contact our Teays Valley truck accident lawyer after your accident. Let our legal team begin reviewing your accident and building your claim.
Why Truck Accidents Happen in the Teays Valley
Truckers have specialized licenses, extensive training, and a full understanding of the risks of operating an 80,000-pound truck. Yet, they make mistakes for preventable reasons. Some of the most common include:
- Hours of service violations, leading to fatigued drivers
- Poor truck maintenance and upkeep lead to failures and tragic accidents
- Reckless operation often results in jackknifed trucks, rollovers, or rear-end accidents with other vehicles
- Speeding to make tight delivery schedules even in bad weather
- Impairment behind the wheel from the use of alcohol or drugs
In these situations, those drivers and the trucking company employing them put you at risk. We gather evidence from every possible source, including commercial truck logs, witness statements, accident reconstruction reports, and medical reports. We identify all parties at fault. Then we build your case.
Common Losses Victims Suffer in Truck Accidents
Victims often suffer serious injuries and losses through no fault of their own. We must build a claim that incorporates all of those losses, including:
- Current and future medical costs
- Pain and suffering experienced from the time of the accident onward
- Property damage for recovery or replacement of assets
- Loss of earnings from missing work and benefits
- Emotional trauma and mental anguish
Each case is vastly different from the last. It is our objective to build a strong claim that incorporates all of the losses you have fairly incurred under the law.
