Have You Been Injured in a Truck Accident?
Truck accidents are complex and involve issues that do not arise in a typical car accident claims. Personal injury cases involving truck crashes are complicated for multiple reasons, including:
- Extent and severity of the injuries: The sheer size of a semi-truck compared to a car or SUV results in catastrophic injuries and even fatalities in a collision.
- Trucking rules and regulations: The trucking industry is heavily regulated. The federal government regulates how long a driver can stay on the road, the truck's maintenance, and what the truck can carry. Failure to follow these guidelines often results in serious injuries to other drivers on the road. We conduct a thorough investigation and ask questions such as: Was the driver properly trained? Did he have a proper CDL license? Did he take breaks and properly log his time on the road? Was he fatigued? Was he under the influence of drugs or alcohol?
- Insurance coverage: The truck driver, the trucking company and often the company that owns the cargo that the truck is carrying, all have insurance. The experienced Saratoga trucking accident attorneys at Thorn Gershon Tymann and Bonanni, LLP, know where to look for insurance coverage.
- The defense: The insurance carriers for the driver and the company rapidly respond to truck accidents. Their insurance agents and lawyers are often on the scene moments after the accident. It is their goal to build the defense by minimizing the driver's liability and the extent of your injuries.
