Why Do Truck Accidents Happen?
Whenever you are out on the road, there are dangerous elements that cannot be controlled by you and other drivers. However, most accidents involving motor vehicles could have been prevented were it not for negligent acts or misconduct. Who is responsible in an accident is the foundation of a personal injury claim, and this is why it’s important to conduct a thorough investigation of the events.
The clients we represent are typically injured in accidents that are caused by a careless or reckless truck driver. Alternatively, the company that hired the driver may be the entity at fault if the accident was due to a failure to maintain the vehicle.
Circumstances that can lead to an accident where people are injured or killed include:
- Dangerous driving habits, like speeding, tailgating, and running red lights
- Driving while distracted (texting and driving, for example)
- Not following safety regulations on how many hours in a row a truck driver can be on the road (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration rules)
- Driving a truck while intoxicated or drowsy from medications
- Truck parts that are defective due to manufacturer negligence (product liability claim)
- Violating FMCSA regulations on weight limits, load capacity, safe hitching procedures, etc.
Injuries That can Happen from a Truck Accident
The injuries caused by a truck accident can be severe with long-term or permanent complications. Tragically, the extent of one’s injuries can result in death, which is why medical attention is essential within the first 48 hours. Injuries that are commonly found among truck accident victims include:
- Broken bones
- Damage to the spinal cord
- Neck injury
- Dislocated joints
- Traumatic brain injury
- Hip or pelvic fracture
- First to third degree burns
- Rupturing or puncturing of internal organs
- Soft tissue injuries
- Deep gashes and puncture wounds in the skin
- Permanent scars from burns, cuts, and other injuries
- Chronic pain
- Paraplegia and other types of paralysis
How your injuries affect your career, family relationships, and other aspects of your life plays a direct role in the compensation you are eligible to receive. Along with immediate medical care, please consult a lawyer with experience in suing for commercial truck accidents.
How Much can I Receive from a Truck Accident Claim?
The amount you are owed from an insurance claim is based on many variables that are specific to your accident and the harm you sustained. It’s fair to say that $50,000 is a good starting point for case values, and many of the claims we have settled resulted in payments that exceeded $125,000. This is due to the high rate of catastrophic injuries and vehicle damage, but certainly, there are incidents where the victim’s injuries are relatively minor. In the event you are diagnosed with a disability or lose a family member to a truck accident, your lawsuit value is likely to fall between $500,000 and $2,000,000.
How Long Does It Take to Settle a Truck Accident Case?
Due to complexity of a truck accident investigation, the severity of physical harm, and many other factors, it can take between 6 months to 1 year before a settlement is reached. However, it’s important to understand that each case involves different elements that speed up or prolong the case resolution process. However, we would say that most cases will take at least 6 months to settle, and those involving permanent injuries or death can take 1 to 2 years. It is very rare for a commercial truck accident claim to go before a judge and jury. However, if a trial is needed due to a continued inability to settle the claim, a truck accident case may take 3 or more years.
What is my Deadline for a Lawsuit?
In the event you and the insurance company are unable to agree on a settlement amount, filing a lawsuit may be the way to move things forward. Please be aware that you have 2 years from the date of the incident to file a personal injury lawsuit. If, on the other hand, you are seeking wrongful death payments, the lawsuit must be filed within 2 years of when your loved one lost their life. Failure to stick by these deadlines means that you will lose the right to go ahead with a lawsuit. This is why quick and decisive action on a TransProtection Service insurance claim is so important.
