Causes of Truck Accidents

Truck accidents are complex. There might be several contributing factors in any given accident, so much so that it can be difficult to pinpoint what caused it or who was responsible. Our attorneys can identify different elements of fault in a commercial truck accident, such as:

• Driver Negligence: The carelessness of a truck driver can compromise the safety of everybody else on the road. Fatigue from long hours on the road can slow a truck driver's reaction times and dull their senses. Traffic violations or other unsafe behaviors can lead to devastating collisions.
• Improper Loading: When a truck's load begins to shift or detach, it could result in the truck driver losing control of the vehicle, or items may fall into the road.
• Poor Maintenance: A truck that has not been properly serviced is more likely to break down, which can be especially hazardous if the brakes or steering mechanisms give out.
• Company Practices: In some cases, trucking companies may disregard safety regulations or precautions to maximize profit. For instance, a company may push a truck's load past a safe weight limit or falsify a driver's logbook hours.
• Adverse Road Conditions: Unclear signage or potholes on a roadway can contribute to a crash if the truck driver cannot reasonably maneuver around them.

At Parthemos, Curran, Buelow and Polizzi, PLLC, we will gather as much evidence as we can to identify all of the liable parties in your claim. We can carry out our investigation while you recuperate from your injuries, securing critical evidence like black box data, logbook entries, and debris from the crash.

Compensation in a Truck Accident Claim

In Virginia, you can be compensated for two types of damages:

• Economic Damages: These typically consist of financial burdens such as medical expenses, loss of income, and property damage.
• Non-Economic Damages: These damages refer to non-financial concerns related to your pain and suffering, such as symptoms of PTSD or a diminished quality of life.

Truck accidents carry a higher risk of catastrophic injury that can leave you permanently disabled and/or unable to work. If you or somebody you love has suffered a catastrophic injury, we can fight for your right to a full remedy.

How Are Truck Accident Claims Resolved?

If all liable parties are willing to pay a full settlement, you might never have to set foot in a courtroom. However, if the insurance companies, corporations, or third-party servicers refuse to pay you what you are owed, our attorneys can take your claim to a trial. With our experience handling litigation, we will aggressively push for your right to a full payout.
