Kent is home to three of the most dangerous roads in Washington State. I-5, US 2, and SR-99, also known as the Pacific Highway, are multi-lane highways drivers use to get from point A to point B as fast as possible. Truck drivers on these roads contend with extreme traffic congestion, complex interchanges, and Kent’s typical wet, rainy weather. 

If these complications were not enough, truckers on Kent roads are often long-haul drivers on a schedule. Traffic and inclement weather can make it harder for them to meet their shipping goals. As a result, truck drivers try to shave time off their trips by speeding. Speeding trucks are harder to control, which makes them more likely to crash, causing severe injury and death. 

If you or a loved one experienced injuries because of a speeding truck in Kent, a truck accident attorney at Herschensohn Law can help. Contact our office today at (206) 588-4344 to discuss your Kent speeding truck accident claim.

Our Truck Accident Lawyer Can Fight for Your Kent Speeding Crash Settlement

filing claim after car accident

Herschensohn Law believes in holding the at-fault party responsible after a speeding truck accident in Kent. Truck operators have a duty to drive safely. That includes driving at or below the speed limit, especially in foggy, rainy, and icy conditions common on Kent’s roadways. 

Our team can work to support your claim against a reckless driver and any other responsible parties. We know the impact a severe truck accident can have on you and your family. It is our goal to ensure that you have the legal assistance you need to recover physically, emotionally, and financially afterward. 

Speeding Trucks Can Cause Deadly Accidents on Kent, WA, Roads

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), approximately one-third of fatal motor vehicle crashes involve speeding. When a driver speeds, they have less time to maneuver or brake when danger presents itself on the road. Speeders are more likely to lose control of their vehicles, and higher speeds make the resulting crashes more deadly.

Large truck crashes are even worse. Tractor trailers can weigh 30 times as much as a passenger car, per the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). The greater size and mass of a loaded semi-truck make it especially dangerous to truck drivers and people in the surrounding vehicles. Since speeding is a preventable and reckless activity, truck drivers who injure others while speeding can be held accountable.

Recovering Damages If You Were Injured by a Speeding Truck in Kent, WA

Reckless Truck Driving Accident Attorneys in Kent

When building your case against a speeding truck driver, our attorney considers how the accident affected every aspect of your life. Losses we may pursue include the following:

Past and Future Medical Expenses

Economic losses may include hospital bills and medical treatments for your physical and psychological injuries. Medication for pain management and assistive devices such as crutches, a walker, or a wheelchair are part of those costs.

Physical therapy and rehabilitation to recover your strength and mobility are also part of your economic losses. In that case, you can include mental therapy to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, or depression related to your injuries.

Lost Income or Business

If you cannot work while you recover from your injuries, you can claim that lost income. Similarly, if your injuries prevent you from working in the future or force you to change your career, you can claim lost future income and any training or education you require to rehabilitate your career. If you own a business and lost business or income as a result of your injuries, you could also claim those losses.

Pain and Suffering

In addition to the quantifiable damages associated with a truck speeding accident in Kent, WA, you may deserve monetary compensation for the suffering you endured.

Our team can calculate a financial value for your non-economic losses, such as physical pain and suffering, mental anguish, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment. If your injury prevents you from enjoying activities you used to do, you can pursue compensation for the financial equivalent of those losses.

RCW 4.16.080 generally allows only three years from the date of the accident for you to file a personal injury lawsuit for your speeding truck accident. While three years seems like enough time, it passes quickly when you’re recovering from injuries. If you don’t adhere to this deadline, you may forfeit your right to collect compensation from the liable party.

Contacting our firm right away helps allow us to begin addressing the legal and financial aspects of your case, so you can focus on recovering your health.
