Collisions involving large vehicles such as 18-wheelers, semi-trucks, and other commercial trucks often end in severe forms of damage.

One of our Garden City lawyers will fight for you by building a truck accident case that upholds your rights as a victim. You may be entitled to recover financial awards in the form of a settlement, and our team will fight to collect them for you.  If a settlement cannot be reached, we can take your case to trial.

Seeking Potential Forms of Monetary Compensation After a Truck Crash

Several layers of complexity can influence the legal processes that follow a truck collision. In many cases, commercial vehicle carriers involve their insurance agents, a process that can take time and confuse victims. Furthermore, we must examine factors such as road conditions, driver liability, and vehicle maintenance in detail.

You may qualify for financial compensation when another party is liable for your losses. Truck driver errors are common when drivers are tasked with driving several consecutive hours across long distances. Our lawyers will look at all angles of a collision to determine who should be held liable for your damages.

Losses You May Qualify to Collect After a Truck Collision

  • Past and future medical expenses
  • Medication costs
  • Surgery costs
  • Operations, x-rays, and exams
  • Assistive medical equipment
  • Emergency medical intervention
  • Lost wages
  • Physical therapy, counseling, and rehabilitation programs

Along with the damages listed above, pain & suffering is recoverable via a third-party claim or lawsuit.

Relevant Deadlines After a Truck Crash

As the personal injury statute of limitations in CVP §214 shows, you generally have up to three years after a collision to file a lawsuit. In some cases, such as suing a municipality, there may be exceptions that can significantly shorten your deadline.

When you take action and contact us, we will assess your timeline as we build a case to represent your rights.

Common Causes of Truck Collisions

Fatigue is a leading cause of truck collisions. Truck drivers that work long hours often pose a risk to drivers when they fail to take adequate breaks. Negligent driving acts also cause concern when sharing the roads with commercial trucks and other large vehicles.

When truck drivers engage in irresponsible and negligent behaviors, you should not be stuck carrying the weight of the aftermath. Our lawyers will represent you so that you can heal and recover after a truck accident.

Negligent driving can look like:

  • Distraction
  • Impairment
  • Speeding

According to information presented by the Mayo Clinic, truck drivers who fail to seek treatment for sleep apnea and similar sleep disorders put themselves and others at a much higher risk of collision and injury.

If You Think You Were Partially Responsible for the Accident

New York is a pure comparative fault state.  This means accident victims can collect compensation even if they are partially at fault for the accident.  If you are found to be partially at fault, your recovery will be diminished in proportion to your amount of fault.

Your lawyer can help you understand how this doctrine could affect your case.
