Legal Assistance for Truck Accident Injuries: What You Need to Know

Truck accidents can be devastating due to the sheer size and weight of these vehicles. If you or a loved one has been involved in a truck accident, it's crucial to understand your legal options. Faloni Law Group, LLC provides comprehensive legal support to navigate the complexities of truck accident claims and ensure victims receive the justice and compensation they deserve.

Understanding Truck Accident Liability

Liability in truck accidents can be more complex than in standard car accidents. It often involves multiple parties including the truck driver, the trucking company, vehicle manufacturers, and sometimes other negligent drivers.

Regulatory Compliance. Trucking companies must adhere to strict federal and state regulations, including hours of service, vehicle maintenance, and load requirements. Non-compliance can be a significant factor in establishing liability.

Driver Factors. Driver fatigue, distraction, impairment, or inadequate training are common issues that contribute to accidents. Legal representation is vital in investigating these elements and linking them to the causation of the accident.

How Faloni Law Group, LLC Advocates for You

Thorough Investigation. We conduct detailed investigations to uncover all factors contributing to the accident. This includes securing black box data from the truck, gathering logbooks, and interviewing witnesses.

Dealing with Insurers. Our attorneys handle all communications and negotiations with insurance companies to fight for the compensation that covers medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Trial Readiness. If a fair settlement is not forthcoming, we are prepared to take your case to trial to advocate for your rights vigorously.

Key Considerations After a Truck Accident

Following a truck accident, the steps you take can significantly impact your ability to secure fair compensation:

  • Immediate medical attention. Prioritize getting a thorough medical evaluation, even if you believe your injuries are minor.
  • Document everything. Keep detailed records of all medical treatments, and ensure the accident is reported to the police. Photographs of the accident scene and your injuries can be crucial.
  • Legal consultation. Early legal advice can be crucial. Speak with a lawyer before discussing the accident with insurance adjusters or signing any documents that could undermine your claim.

What Compensation Can You Expect?

Compensation in truck accident cases may include:

  • Medical bills. Coverage for current and future medical treatment related to your injuries.
  • Lost wages. Compensation for lost income and diminished earning capacity.
  • Pain and suffering. Compensation for physical pain and emotional distress.
  • Punitive damages. In cases of egregious negligence, punitive damages may be awarded to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar conduct.
