Commercial trucks have the potential to cause massive destruction due to their size and weight. When big rigs collide with other vehicles, the people in the smaller vehicles are at risk of experiencing life-altering and fatal injuries. If a trucking collision harmed you or a loved one, you could be facing a lengthy and difficult recuperation. A compassionate Inverness truck accident lawyer from LMD Injury Lawyers understands how traumatic trucking wrecks can be and knows what kind of challenges you face.
Our dedicated attorneys could fight to get you a financial settlement or damages award that could alleviate some stress from your life. Lawsuits involving trucking wrecks are typically considerably more complicated than legal claims involving most other types of motor vehicle crashes. Our attorneys are ready to take on those complications and fight on your behalf.
In a typical lawsuit involving two drivers of passenger cars, the at-fault driver is the only defendant. Conversely, in a truck accident case, more than one party frequently bears legal responsibility. In addition to an at-fault truck driver being a defendant, the trucking company that employed the driver, the loading company that placed the cargo onto the truck, the owner of the truck, if it is a separate company, and the shipping company that arranged the deliveries could also be liable. Trying to fight against a powerful trucking company is difficult, as they do not wish to settle and part with their profits. They know how to use delaying tactics and other strategies to deny claims and minimize insurance payouts. Accepting an initial settlement offer from a trucking company or their insurer would not be in your best interests.
You should consult with a knowledgeable legal team to understand your legal rights. A determined local attorney from Inverness has the skills, knowledge, and resources to stand up to large trucking companies in order to fight for justice and accountability after a collision. We could investigate the big rig accident, determine what led to the crash, identify all potentially responsible parties, and help you pursue lawsuits against them.
Commercial trucks are also under both state and federal regulations. To successfully pursue a claim against a trucking company, an attorney needs to fully understand how each regulation and violation could influence the outcome of a lawsuit. The seasoned team from LMD Injury Lawyers has a proven track record with prior claims involving truck accidents.
Accidents involving large commercial vehicles, such as tractor trailers, are considerably more likely to result in severe harm. Fully loaded big rigs can weigh up to 80,000 pounds, whereas a small sedan might weigh as little as 2,500 pounds. In a collision, the significantly larger semi-truck could potentially crush the smaller sedan, resulting in life-altering injuries or fatalities to its occupants. In addition, truck accidents are also likely to injure people in many different vehicles, particularly when a truck jackknives or rolls over, leaving the occupants of multiple vehicles at risk of harm.
People who survive trucking crashes could experience catastrophic injuries that require extensive medical care, treatment, assistance, and lifestyle modifications. Our compassionate Inverness lawyers could work with you to learn the full extent of your losses from the trucking wreck and help you pursue the compensation you need.
Trucking accidents often have catastrophic consequences that leave people with physical, emotional, and financial concerns. You should not try to fight against a trucking company alone. Get the skilled assistance of an experienced legal team who knows how trucking companies work and is willing to fight for you.
