Your lawyer can help determine whether any shared responsibility has been properly assessed and allocated. Investigations A truck accident could be more serious than an auto crash. The effects of a crash involving a truck can be life-changing and the impact is far more complex due to the size and weight of a commercial truck. These accidents also involve more complex investigation. To protect their interests in the event of a crash, trucking firms or insurance providers will often conduct investigations right after the incident. The victims are left to deal with their injuries, and they are unable to collect evidence. This puts them at a disadvantage when compared to the insurance provider and trucking company. A truck accident lawyer with experience will search for evidence in a variety sources, including witness testimony, police reports and inspections of vehicles. A lawyer with experience is not relying on only police reports because they are usually insufficient for civil litigation. Police officers are not trained to conduct an effective investigation, and they may fail to gather all of the evidence required to file a lawsuit. Other types of information may include logbook and maintenance records and service records from the truck. Data from the event data recording device (also known as a black box) is also available. A skilled attorney will request these as well as other types of evidence from the truck driver as well as the trucking company, and then analyze the evidence to determine what led to the accident. Expert Witnesses A expert witness for a truck accident could help your attorney prove various aspects of the case. For instance, a medical expert can prove to your lawyer that the crash caused your injuries. Your expert will also testify on the impact your injuries could have on your quality of life in the future. Expert witnesses can also help your lawyer assess the value of your damages, which could include lost income and loss of earning capacity in the future. Experts can review physical evidence and discuss the consequences of your injury on your future. For instance, a medical expert can demonstrate how your accident can affect you in terms of physical and mental well-being. Another kind of expert is a metallurgist who will examine the reasons why a part of a car failed. There are also experts who can assess the ways in which weather might have contributed to the crash. A key role of an expert witness is to examine the evidence and offer an impartial opinion. However, some expert witnesses could pose risky for your case if they are biased or have ties to the defendant's companies. Your attorney can perform an identity check to identify these risks and ensure you have the best expert witnesses available. Your lawyer will question you, along with any other eyewitnesses who witnessed the incident before it occurred. It is important to remember that the defendants' insurance companies will try to convince you to acknowledge fault or make statements they can twist and alter to diminish your case. Litigation Like any other driver truck drivers also have a duty to obey traffic laws and take reasonable care while driving. If they do not follow the rules and their negligence results in an accident, they could be held responsible for the injuries that victims are liable for. To establish the defendant's negligence, our lawyer will collect a number of eyewitnesses who witnessed the crash and provide oral or written evidence of the circumstances of the collision. Our team will also look at other evidence like skidmarks and points of impact and conduct crash testing. Sometimes, the reason for an accident on the road is complicated that involves multiple parties. If the accident was caused by defective equipment or improper maintenance, we could sue the manufacturers or the trucks. We might also bring a lawsuit against the mechanic that performed the repairs or the repair shop. We will try to resolve your case without going to court. However, if the trucking firm or its insurer refuses an equitable settlement or offer, we'll prepare to go to trial. During the trial the judge or jury will rule on disputes such as who was responsible and how much compensation you'll receive. The total of your legal damages will be based on your documented losses that comprise financial, physical and emotional suffering. Statute of Limitations Although navigating the legal system after a truck accident can be complicated, understanding how these cases typically proceed can help you plan for what's to come and provide you with a better understanding of the length of time your case may take. The process of establishing liability is among the most important steps. If an truck driver was sleepy or distracted, for example it is likely that they'll be held accountable for the damages you suffered. There could be other parties also liable. For instance, if the crash resulted from faulty repairs, for instance, a mechanic who performed the work or a business which made the truck or its components might be held responsible according to the legal doctrine of respondeat superior. You may also be entitled to damages for punitive acts if the responsible party committed an act of recklessness that was more severe. To be able to prove this, we must to establish that the liable party acted recklessly of your safety or that of others. It is essential to work with an attorney who is familiar with the complexities involved in truck accidents. Insurance firms and attorneys for the at-fault party are usually wolves in sheepskins and will try to get you to make statements that they later use against you. You can steer clear of these pitfalls by hiring an attorney to manage your communications.
