Truck Accident Lawyers in Kansas City, MO

An auto accident can have a lasting impact on your life, and even a minor collision can leave you with a long-term injury. Trucking accidents are especially dangerous because commercial trucks are bigger than passenger vehicles, they operate differently, and they may carry cargo. 

Additionally, their insurance companies may go to great lengths to discredit your claim and minimize your compensation. The good news is that Morgan & Morgan’s seasoned lawyers have the skills and know-how to get you the amount you deserve—not the amount the insurance companies want to pay you.

Causes of Truck Accidents

Trucking accidents and everyday fender-benders may come with different results, but they often happen for similar reasons. Some of these reasons include:

• Distracted driving
• Driving while fatigued
• Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
• Ignoring traffic laws
• Malfunctioning parts
• Exceeding weight limits
• Improper training

There is plenty of overlap between car accidents and trucking accidents, but some of these risk factors are especially prevalent among commercial truckers. If you’ve been hurt in a truck accident, you may be entitled to remuneration. 

Types of Damages

Any type of auto accident can have serious consequences, but truck accidents tend to be the most dangerous. If you’re injured in one, you may be entitled to compensation for damages such as:

• Medical expenses (ambulance fees, hospital visits, ongoing treatments)
• Lost wages (lost time at work, lost job,  loss of ability to work)
• Pain and suffering (physical and emotional distress, mental health conditions)
• Punitive damages (punishment designed to discourage this action or negligence from happening again) 

Morgan & Morgan fights for full and fair compensation, and we won’t let up until we get you every penny you deserve.
