Carla RobinsonFrom the complexities of the claim to the severity of the injuries, truck accident cases pose particular challenges to their victims. If you’ve been injured in a truck accident, an experienced Atlanta truck accident attorney can help you get the compensation you need to protect your future.
Most motor vehicle accidents are the result of driver error and simple carelessness, and truck accidents are no different. Many truck accidents are caused by the following:
In addition to these causes, there are other potential causes that are unique to truck drivers:
Your accident may be the result of a single cause, or there may be multiple factors. However, it may not be easy to identify the cause of your accident, even if you are certain that it was the truck driver’s fault. An experienced Atlanta truck accident lawyer can review the facts of your case and identify the likely causes.
Another factor that makes truck accidents unique is that truck drivers and commercial trucking companies are subject to complex laws and regulations designed to promote safe trucking practices and protect the general public. There are both state and federal laws and regulations that govern the following:
Every other motorist on the road is put at risk when a driver or trucking company violates any one of these regulations. A knowledgeable Atlanta truck accident attorney will be able to identify potential violations and demonstrate how they contributed to your accident.
Another challenge specific to truck accident cases is identifying who should be held accountable for your injuries. Unlike accidents involving private passenger vehicles, there may be multiple entities that share responsibility for the accident.
Determining who should be held accountable is one of the most important steps in pursuing a claim. A knowledgeable Atlanta truck accident attorney will be able to identify the various potential defendants and make sure they cannot avoid their responsibility.
Because truck accidents are often complex, astute accident investigation is required. The police report will only provide a very basic recitation of what happened. It might assign fault, but it will not provide the level of detail that you need to prove your claim.
Truck accident victims should be aware that many trucks now use cameras, GPS units, and other devices to monitor their drivers. An Atlanta truck accident attorney will be able to get access to the data they record in order to learn exactly what happened. They may also be able to obtain footage from traffic and other cameras that recorded your accident. These can be incredibly powerful sources of evidence that can make a significant difference in the outcome of your case.
A Gilormo Injury Law Atlanta truck accident attorney will also be able to use their experience in order to recreate the accident based on the facts available. In addition, we have working relationships with accident reconstruction experts who can provide compelling testimony that supports your case and overcomes the opposing party’s refusal to accept responsibility.
Due to their size and weight, accidents involving large trucks require special consideration. Depending on the type of truck, it can weigh anywhere from 25,000 to 80,000 pounds and can legally haul up to 34,000 pounds. Considering that the average passenger vehicle weighs just over 4,000 pounds, you can begin to understand the unique hazards that large trucks present in the event of an accident. Large trucks require longer distances to stop, have more significant blind spots, and are less maneuverable than smaller vehicles, all of which means that they are less likely to avoid an accident.
The cargo that trucks haul can also present additional dangers. In the event of an accident, heavy materials can break loose and result in additional damage or injuries. Loads that haven’t been properly secured can cause the driver to lose control and result in an accident. Some trucks transport hazardous materials that are incredibly flammable or otherwise dangerous when spilled.
Because of their size and weight, truck accidents can cause injuries that are more serious than those in passenger vehicle accidents. These injuries can include the following:
If you’ve been injured in a truck accident, it is important to note that many injuries may not be apparent immediately after the accident. You should get a thorough medical examination from your physician as soon as possible, and don’t be afraid to schedule a follow-up appointment if your symptoms get worse, do not improve, or you begin to experience new symptoms. Your Atlanta truck accident attorney will use your medical records to prove the significance of your injuries.
For many people, the prospect of going to court can be intimidating. As a result, they decide not to pursue legal action and therefore think they don’t need a lawyer. Before making this decision, it’s important to understand how an attorney can help.
First, even if you don’t go to court, an Atlanta truck accident attorney can help you navigate the claim process with the insurance company. Our legal team will collect the documentation and evidence you need to build your case. We will handle the correspondence and speak on your behalf. We will negotiate with all involved parties to ensure you receive fair compensation. Our Atlanta accident legal team does all of this so you can focus on your health and recovery.
Second, it’s highly unlikely that you will know whether or not you should file suit at the outset. You may not even know what your losses will be. Typically, the decision to sue is made only after all other options to resolve your claim have failed. A skilled injury lawyer can proceed with legal action to get the compensation you deserve if you are unable to settle your claim fairly.
The catastrophic injuries following a truck accident can change your life for years, leaving you unable to pay your medical bills or take care of your family. The good news is that you don’t have to face these challenges alone. Amber Gilormo is an Atlanta truck accident attorney who can fight for your rights and get you the compensation you deserve.
