Causes of Truck Accidents

Determining liability for a truck accident is a complicated task. It takes several parties to keep a commercial truck loaded and on the road. Responsibility for a truck accident could lie with any of the following:

• The truck driver;
• The trucking company;
• The owner of the truck;
• The company leasing the truck;
• The company leasing the trailer;
• The cargo loader;
• The truck, trailer, or parts manufacturer; or
• The maintenance crew.

Driver-related causes of truck accidents may include:

• Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol;
• Speeding;
• Not checking blind spots;
• Drowsy driving;
• Distracted driving; and
• Failure to follow traffic signals.

Some non-driver related causes of truck accidents are:

• Truck defects or defective truck parts;
• Improperly performed maintenance;
• Improperly loaded cargo;
• Cargo that is overweight; and
• Poorly trained truck drivers.

After a truck accident, immediately call for medical help and the police. The force of a truck accident can result in head and brain injuries that require a doctor’s examination to diagnose. If possible, take down the truck driver’s personal information, company information, and insurance information for future reference.

What Compensation Is Available After a Truck Accident?

Compensation in a truck accident reflects the amount of property damage and severity of injuries involved, and prognosis for recovery. It also takes the overall impact of the accident on the victim’s life into account. Damages may include compensation for any of the following:

• Current and future medical expenses;
• Assistive devices;
• Physical therapy and rehabilitation;
• Lost wages;
• Lost earning capacity;
• Physical pain and suffering;
• Mental and emotional distress;
• Loss of consortium;
• Loss of enjoyment of life; and
• Wrongful death.

Some states cap the amount of damages awarded to victims of truck accidents. To find out damage limits in your states, consult Ramsey Law Group. Our personal injury attorneys will advise you of damage caps and additional types of damages your states may allow.
