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 $ 20000, but if the defendant or the insurance company proves that you were 10% responsible for the accident, the court has the right to limit your compensation to $ 18000 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 of your settlement amount.

If the defendant is a government entity, the time limit is 6 months from the date of accident. If the government entity denies the claim, you have another 6 months from the date of denial.
