All vehicle collisions can be frightening and dangerous, but a collision with a truck is considered far more deadly. The sheer size and weight of a big truck, like a commercial 18-wheeler or a delivery truck, is enough to send a victim to the hospital with serious injuries. Even when struck at low speeds, a truck accident can be life-threatening. Help is available when you call our team today at Herschensohn Law Firm, PLLC, to schedule a consultation with our Lewis County, WA truck accident lawyer!
Truck accidents can happen for various reasons. Sometimes, the accident is virtually outside of either driver’s control. For example, during the winter, icy roads can make it really difficult to come to a complete stop while on the road, and sliding can be very common. However, many truck accidents are a direct result of the driver’s negligence and recklessness. Drowsy driving is a major issue in the trucking world, as many truckers are expected to work ten-plus-hour shifts with little to no breaks in between.
Regardless of the cause, you have every right to seek out compensation following a truck accident. While most people are aware that they can pursue compensation for medical costs, there are many other costs they can pursue. Our attorney can help you pursue compensation for lost wages, job rehabilitation, and other factors like emotional distress or pain and suffering.
Trucking accidents can add another layer of difficulty due to the question of liability. The driver may be at fault, but the trucking company, vehicle manufacturer, maintenance contractor, or even a cargo loader could also be responsible. These companies often have powerful legal teams and insurance carriers working hard to minimize their financial liability. This fact makes working with our experienced Lewis County truck accident lawyer highly recommended.
