Any automobile accident can be deadly for all parties involved, but truck accidents often carry the most serious consequences. Drivers involved in a truck accident often leave with serious injuries, sometimes catastrophic ones that leave them permanently disabled. Worst yet, trucking companies may have more aggressive insurance companies that know how to avoid paying for a settlement.

Akron, OH Truck Accident Lawyer

Truck accident cases are more complicated than your average car crash. Large trucks and tractor-trailers are much larger than other vehicles they share the road with. This larger size means a collision is more likely to result in serious injuries. What may seem like a minor collision by comparison can result in lifelong injuries when a massive truck is involved. Generally, the more serious the injuries, the more complicated the case is.

It’s not just the scope of damage that makes truck accidents more complicated than other crashes. In a typical car accident, it’s fairly easy to determine liability. The driver who caused the accident is the one usually held at fault, with their insurance company usually being the one that needs to foot the bill. However, truck accidents can throw a wrench into this equation. 

Often, the truck driver is still the one at fault, especially if it can be proven that the driver violated the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. In some cases, though, the trucking company itself might be held at fault. If the driver is a government employee, then liability can even fall on the government. Lastly, it’s always possible that the manufacturer of the truck or truck parts can be held liable.

Insurance companies understand how complicated it can be to prove liability, which is why they often engage in delay tactics or provide victims with mixed messages to confuse them. Our legal team can break through this noise to establish liability.
