Driver Hospitalized after Sports Car Smashes into Back of Semi-Truck – Truck Accident Lawyers

Truck accidents can occur due to many reasons. In the incident discussed above, although it remains under investigation, appears to have been caused by the reckless driving of the person in the Corvette. Some possible causes of these accidents include the following:

• Reckless driving in other vehicles (weaving in and out of traffic, speeding, tailgating, etc.)
• Sudden stops and sudden starts
• Reckless driving in the truck
• Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol (or prescription medications)
• Medical emergencies
• Mechanical failures (including brake failures or electric failures)
• Poor road conditions

No matter the cause of the incident, it is important that victims and their families seek legal help as soon as possible. Based on the details surrounding the incident, you may have the right to file a claim.

Truck accidents are among the most devastating types of personal injury accidents. Because of the size and weight of trucks, these incidents can lead to devastating injuries. Some examples of these injuries include the following:

• Head injuries and traumatic brain injuries
• Neck injuries
• Back injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Fractures
• Crushing injuries
• Severed limbs
• Burns
• Lacerations
• Nerve injuries
• Scrapes and bruises

It is important to understand that when truck accidents lead to underride, the passenger compartment in vehicles could be compromised, so the structure of the vehicle will not protect occupants; when this happens, severe injuries are likely.

Yes, you could have the right to file a lawsuit. Your right to sue will likely be based on the concept of negligence. However, before establishing liability, we must first establish the cause of the accident. For example, if the accident was caused by the negligence of the truck driver or the truck company, then the company that employs the driver or owns/operates the truck could be sued – in some cases these may be separate companies. If the incident was caused by the recklessness of a driver but was worsened because of the negligence of the trucking company (such as if the truck did not have a rear underride guard or a side underride guard, for example). If you are unsure of your right to sue or are having trouble understanding liability for your incident, contact the experts here at our law firm as soon as possible. Our lawyers are ready to help you file your truck accident claim.

If the truck company did their due diligence and installed underride guards but the guards turned out to be defective – whether they were poorly designed or manufactured – and ultimately did not perform as they should have performed, then the product manufacturer could be found liable and could be sued.

Yes, you could be entitled to receive compensation for the harm resulting from a truck accident. Although every claim is different, some of the categories of compensation available for recovery could include the following:

How much can I receive? This is a very important question.

All claims are subject to a statute of limitations – or a deadline to sue – that determines the time that claimants have to take legal action. When claimants do not file their claims on time, they risk losing their right to sue entirely. Under California law, personal injury claims (including wrongful death claims) are subject to a two-year statute of limitations, meanings that claimants only have two years to file their claims.
