Truck Accidents

Truck Accident victims are eligible to get compensated for the damages. More often than not, they only receive compensation for the damages to their vehicle through the insurance companies.

Filing a Truck Accident Lawsuit is the only way out to get compensation for damages, medical expenses, lost wages, pain, and suffering. In order to get rightfully compensated, it is important to prove that the other driver in the accident was at fault.

Comparative Negligence:

When awarding Personal Injury damages, the court can apply a certain percentage of fault to each party involved in the accident. The damages you can claim and recover are proportional to the degree of fault (if any) you had in the accident.

If you suffer damages worth $20,000, but the defendant or insurance company proves that you were 10% responsible for the accident, the court has the right to limit your compensation to $18,000 under the “Comparative Negligence” appeal.

Insurance Companies/Claims Adjusters:

The claims adjuster from the insurance company will try to settle your claim for as little amount as possible. They persuade you to give up your rights to sue the driver in court in exchange for your settlement amount.

The time limit to file a Personal Injury Claim for the injuries that occurred in an auto accident is two years, while for property damages, it is three years from the date of the accident. If the defendant is a government entity, the time limit is six months from the accident. If the government entity denies the claim, you have another six months from the date of denial.
