Jefferson County Trucking Accident Lawyer
Just because an attorney is qualified to handle a car accident case that does not necessarily mean that he or she is prepared to handle a complex trucking accident claim. Personal injury claims for trucking accident injuries are very unique and highly complex.
What Makes a Trucking Accident Different?
There are a number of factors that make trucking accident claims unique:
- The nature of injuries: Given the size and weight of semi trucks and other large tractor trailers, large trucking accidents often cause serious or fatal injuries. The impact of a large truck, even at a relatively slow speed, can cause significant injuries to motorists.
- An aggressive defense: Given the insurance coverage limits of many trucking insurance policies, such claims are aggressively defended. Insurance companies quickly dispatch experts to the scene of a commercial truck accident to take accident photographs and questions witnesses.
- Multiple responsible parties: Both a trucker and a trucking company may have played a role in the cause of your accident. Both may potentially be liable for damages you have sustained, so it is critical that you have an attorney who is familiar with trucking accident claims who can explore all potential avenues of recovery on your behalf.
- Trucking laws and regulations: Truckers are held to exacting standards. They must maintain a commercial driver's license and adhere to strict trucking laws and regulations.
