Liable Parties in a Truck Accident
There can be several liable parties in a truck accident – some of whom may not even be in the state in which the accident occurred. Having an attorney conduct an investigation helps to ensure each of these parties is identified and held to account.
Possible parties in a truck accident lawsuit include:
- The trucker
- The trucking company
- The loading company
- Parts and equipment manufacturers
- Mechanics
- Government entities
When multiple factors play a role in an accident, multiple defendants is a possibility. Each of these defendants will have legal representation and insurance companies working on their behalf. Who will you have working on yours?
Truck Accident Damages
Damages that can be sought following injury from a truck accident include:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Property damage
- Home modifications
- Adaptive technologies
- Physical pain
- Emotional duress
Pain and duress, also known as pain and suffering, are seldom included in insurance settlements. In fact, over the past several years, insurance companies have established a pattern of delaying or denying fair compensation to victims of serious injury, making legal action not just a good idea, but necessary in some cases.
