If you have been in a car accident before, you might assume that a truck accident claim proceeds in a similar fashion. However, the average commercial freight truck weighs about 80,000 pounds or more, 20 times the weight of a passenger car. As such, there is a much greater chance of severe injuries, and several other critical differences between auto accidents and truck accidents.

As a general rule of thumb, the more serious the resulting injuries, the more complex and expensive the claim. Truck accidents often involve complex medical evidence and high-pressure insurance tactics that make them much more challenging than conventional auto accidents.

For example, carrier companies and their insurance providers are well aware of how high the stakes can be in a truck accident case. They are prepared to defend aggressively. Our experienced truck accident lawyers are crucial to protecting your best interests and leveling the playing field.

How Truck Accidents Differ from Car Accidents

  1. Increased Severity of Damage
    Financial damages can quickly add up to tens of thousands of dollars, not to mention immense emotional pain and suffering.
  2. More Serious Injuries
    Injuries sustained after a truck accident can be severe and come with intensive medical care and bills. Injuries following a truck accident are often life-altering.
  3. Larger Insurance Policies
    Truck drivers’ insurance policies can be up to 50 times larger than car accident insurance policies. Because of this, these insurance companies will do everything within their power to prove they are not liable.
  4. Larger Medical Bills
    Victims of truck accidents tend to spend much longer in the hospital for their injuries than car accident victims.
  5. Greater Chance of Death
    An accident with a large commercial truck is significantly more likely to result in death than a crash involving two cars.

How Much Compensation Can I Get From A Truck Accident Claim?

Every truck accident is different and the amount of compensation a victim can recover depends on the circumstances of the accident, the relevant insurance policies, and the nature of your injuries, among other considerations.

A truck accident lawyer is absolutely essential to your case and recovering the most damages. Our Norfolk truck accident lawyers can not only ease the stress and anxiety that is natural in the aftermath of a truck accident but can also determine the at-fault party in the accident and what compensation should come from it.

Generally speaking, the damages available to a victim of a truck accident in Virginia include (but may not be limited to):

  • Medical expenses

  • Property damage

  • Future loss of earnings

  • Emotional distress

  • Diminished quality of life

  • In the case of wrongful death, burial and funeral expenses

Factors That Impact Truck Accident Claims

Whether or not a truck accident claim is able to recover maximum damages comes down to a few factors: the presence of negligence, the party deemed at-fault for the accident, the extent of the damage, and the gravity of the accident.

The Presence of Negligence

If you have sustained injuries in a commercial truck accident, proving the accident was a result of negligence can be key to the process of recovering maximum compensation for your losses. In truck accidents, negligence can be any behavior or act that may be considered a breach of duty on the truck drivers’ part according to their duty of care.

Under the regulatory process imparted by the FMCSA, truck drivers are responsible for following certain rules and regulations while on duty including:

  • Maintaining a log of hours driven
  • Driving no more than 10 hours per day
  • Documenting rest and service breaks
  • Non-use of drugs or alcohol
  • Precise cargo loading
  • Adhering to legal service and maintenance requirements

If you are involved in an accident with a truck driver who has failed to follow these regulations, you may be able to prove negligence on their part.

Who Is Held Liable in a Truck Accident?

Commercial trucking accidents are viewed differently largely because truck drivers are generally employed by a trucking company. As the employer of the truck driver involved in or who caused the accident, the legal responsibility may fall on the trucking company. Other parties who may be liable in the case of a trucking accident include:

  • Commercial vehicle manufacturers
  • Vendors used by the trucking company
  • Cargo owners
  • Local government (in the case of poor road design, lacking signage, etc.)

Extent of Damage and Severity of Injuries

A truck accident claim also requires a comprehensive examination of the extent of damage and the severity of the sustained injuries.

In order to build a sustainable truck accident claim one must take all the resulting expenses and factors into account. Without a trusted truck accident attorney by your side, it can be extremely difficult to recoup all of the economic and non-economic losses sustained during a truck accident. Here at Montagna Law, we partner with you to ensure that you are compensated for all of the trouble you have undergone during and following your truck accident.
