Common Truck Accident Questions

Some of the most common questions we receive in relation to truck accidents include:

What’s the value of my truck accident claim?

This depends entirely on the nature and extent of your injuries and other losses from the accident. Insurance and lawsuit settlements are made up of both economic and non-economic damages, such as medical bills, lost wages, and emotional trauma. In rarer cases, a jury may choose to award you “punitive,” or exemplary damages, when the defendant acted especially recklessly or negligently.

How is fault determined in a truck accident?

Because of modern logistics, truck accidents may very well have multiple liable parties. One of the first things your truck accident lawyer can do is track down all available evidence from your accident in order to ensure justice is served. In order to do this, truck accident lawyers may rely on information from police reports, medical records, witness statements, expert testimony, and other evidence as necessary.

How long does a truck accident lawsuit take?

The first step is going to a doctor to receive care for and documentation of your injuries. Later, with the help of your attorney, you can submit a demand letter to the at-fault party’s insurance company to attempt to receive a settlement. Sometimes that won’t be possible, and you’ll have to go to court to have a chance at recovery. For that reason, it’s impossible to say with certainty how long your case will last without going over the details individually with a qualified truck accident lawyer.
