Can I File a Claim If I Was the Truck Driver?
Yes, as a truck driver, you can file a truck accident claim if you believe another party's negligence contributed to the accident. This could include the negligence of other drivers, the company responsible for maintaining the truck, manufacturers of faulty truck parts, or entities responsible for road maintenance.
That said, you must prove that you were not solely at fault and that the other party's negligence directly caused the accident and your resulting injuries or losses. If you win, you may be able to recover compensation through different avenues, including filing a workers' compensation claim and a third-party lawsuit at the same time.
-
What Parties Can Be Liable for a Truck Accident?
Several parties can be liable in a truck accident. These include but are not limited to the following:
- The truck driver, for reasons like distracted driving or violation of traffic laws.
- The trucking company, especially if it failed to follow safety regulations or enforce proper driver training.
- Manufacturers of truck parts, if a mechanical failure caused by a defective part led to the accident.
- Cargo loading companies, if improperly loaded or secured cargo contributed to the accident.
- Maintenance companies or government agencies, if inadequate maintenance, played a role.
- Other motorists, if their actions contributed to the accident.
-
Do Truck Accidents Lead to Higher Settlements Than Standard Car Accidents?
In most cases, they do, and that's because the injuries and damages involved are usually more severe due to the size and weight of trucks. Additionally, trucking companies generally have larger insurance policies, which can result in higher compensation.
-
What Can I Do to Increase the Value of My Claim?
To increase the value of your claim, here's what you need to do:
- Collect and preserve evidence from the accident scene, including photos, witness statements, and police reports.
- Seek medical attention immediately and follow all treatment recommendations to document your injuries thoroughly.
- Keep detailed records of all expenses and losses related to the accident, including medical bills and lost income.
- Avoid discussing the case with insurance adjusters or accepting early settlement offers without consulting an attorney.
- Consider contacting a truck accident expert from Morgan and Morgan for a free case evaluation.
