Any vehicle accident has the potential to cause serious injury or death. But the risk becomes even greater when a large truck is involved. If you or a loved one has been injured, or a loved one has lost their life due to a truck accident, contact the New Rockbridge personal injury lawyers at Howard, Fine, and Howard. With more than 146 years of collective experience representing clients throughout the state, we tirelessly pursue the parties responsible for your injuries, and work to secure the maximum compensation you deserve.

Building Your Truck Accident Case

A truck accident often raises a number of complicated legal issues, including those related to the liability of a truck driver's employer for his or her negligence in operating the vehicle. If the driver’s carelessness caused your injuries, you may be entitled to damages including amounts for:
  • Medical expenses
  • Lost income
  • Physical therapy
  • Permanent disability
  • Property damage
  • Counseling
  • Pain & suffering
  • Emotional distress
However, in order to prove that you are owed these damages, you will need to provide evidence of the losses that you have sustained. A knowledgeable and experienced truck accident injury lawyer will know what kind of evidence you will need to compile, and how to make the best use of that evidence, in order to strengthen your case and obtain full recovery on your behalf.

Thorough Truck Accident Investigation

A key element of a successful claim following an accident is a comprehensive investigation. It is therefore critical that you enlist legal counsel with experience investigating accidents, and specifically, truck accidents.

An established truck accident lawyer will understand the specific safety standards trucking companies and their drivers are required to maintain concerning both the maintenance and operation of their vehicles. Unfortunately, it is all too common for tight shipping deadlines and the prospect of lost money to outweigh adherence to these guidelines, putting other people on the road at significant risk. Identifying these failures to follow procedure can make the difference between recovering full damages and being stuck with staggering debt following a serious injury.

There are a number of other factors that may cause a truck accident, such as:
  • Driver fatigue due to skipped rest breaks and sleep time
  • The failure to properly load a trailer
  • Cell phone use
  • Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
  • Defective products, such as tires, brakes and other equipment
  • Lapses in routine maintenance
A skilled truck accident lawyer can investigate the cause of your accident, and amass all necessary proof so that you can hold the responsible parties accountable for your harm.

Many Actions You Can Take Include:

  • Ensure you are receiving proper medical treatment for your injuries
  • Seek compensation for your lost wages
  • Help you arrange for a rental car
  • Help with your property damage claim
  • Communicate directly with the insurance companies
  • Investigate your accident
  • Obtain evidence including witness statements, photographs, and expert opinions
  • Obtain and evaluate police and operator reports
  • Review all available sources of insurance
  • Seek reimbursement for your medical bills
  • Seek reimbursement for any other expense related to your accident
  • Obtain and evaluate medical records
  • Evaluate your injuries
  • Analyze any long term financial needs, future wage loss, or medical care
  • Negotiate your claim in order to achieve a successful result for you
  • Prepare each case as if it is going to trial to maximize its value

"My daughter and I hired Meg for a car accident after I got a call from my insurance telling me no money was gonna be paid out for my car. Meg got me money for my car right away and then she got me and my daughter settlement money for our injuries. Now my daughter has college paid for. I didn't have to do a thing! Kerry and the receptionist were so good to talk to and kept me in the loop all the time. I'd recommend to anybody. Hope I don't need them again but would use her again no doubt!"
