How Truck Accidents Differ from Car Accidents
- Increased Severity of Damage: Financial damages can quickly add up to tens of thousands of dollars, not to mention immense emotional pain and suffering.
- 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.
- 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.
- Larger Medical Bills: Victims of truck accidents tend to spend much longer in the hospital for their injuries than car accident victims.
- Greater Chance of Death: Accidents with a large commercial truck are significantly more likely to result in death than a crash involving two cars.

Frequently Asked Questions
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 Hampton truck accident lawyer may be essential to your case and recovering the most damages. Our attorneys not only ease the stress and anxiety that is natural in the aftermath of a truck accident but also determine the at-fault party in the accident and what compensation should come from it.
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
- The gravity of the 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.)
For long-term or permanent injuries, it’s important to consider future medical needs, potential ongoing care costs, and the impact on earning capacity. Claims should account for both immediate and future consequences of the injury to provide adequate compensation for the victim’s altered life circumstances.
