Things To Know About Truck Accidents
People often believe that commercial entities such as trucking companies have large pots of money and that obtaining compensation for injuries will be straightforward. In fact, trucking companies typically defend themselves vigorously. They go to lengths to avoid high-dollar payouts of compensation to people with catastrophic injuries.
Even when trucks are amply insured, it can be challenging to navigate the maze of insurance companies that may be liable. The driver, the dispatcher, the owner of the truck’s cab or tractor, the owner of the detachable trailer and the company in charge of the crew who packed a truck’s cargo may all share responsibility. With different insurance policies and companies that could apply, they often take legal action against each other. A flurry of legal processes tends to delay a case or diminish the exposure of responsible people and entities to liability.
In the case of a utility truck or any large vehicle under government ownership, there may be strict, short filing deadlines for people filing injury claims. With all the obstacles that tend to work against the case of someone injured in a crash with a large truck, it is important to start work promptly on advocacy for the injured person or surviving next of kin after a fatal accident.
