Truck Accident Attorney in Boise

Every truck accident is unique. With this being said, most victims are eligible to receive both economic and non-economic damages. This can include compensation for the following:

• Pain and suffering
• Medical bills
• Loss of income
• Loss of working ability
• Therapy and medical care in the future
• Punitive damages.

In addition, if the truck accident caused a death, the victim’s family may be eligible to claim loss of companionship as part of their claim. With so many options on the table, it’s always best to schedule a free consultation with a specialist at Morgan & Morgan.

Building a case in a truck accident means proving who’s at fault, and this depends on finding and assigning negligence. Often, negligence lies with the truck driver. If the driver is driving under the influence, driving while tired, or exceeding the recommended hours of service, then those all count as negligence.

Distracted driving, including a cell phone or media use, while driving, also counts as negligence. In truck accidents, the trucking company can also be considered negligent. If they push drivers to drive when they are too tired or for too many hours, or if they fail to maintain their trucks properly, they can be held liable. Often, both the company and the truck driver share negligence, especially if hours of service are not followed.

Sometimes, road conditions are also partially or fully to blame for the truck accident. 

For example, poor road maintenance or construction. In this case, the governmental entity responsible for maintaining the road may be included in your personal injury lawsuit. Several factors go into determining and assigning blame in a truck accident, which is why it’s always best to work with an experienced attorney from Morgan & Morgan.
