How Do Truck Accidents Happen?

Truck accidents are often caused by acts of preventable negligence. Our attorneys can get to the root of a collision, reconstructing the crash to establish liability. Common causes of truck accidents include:

• Driver Fatigue: Despite safety regulations that limit hours of service, truckers may naturally end up becoming drowsy at the wheel due to long working hours.
• Unsecured Cargo: When weight limits are ignored by cargo loaders or the trucking company, or when items are not properly tied down and secured, the truck itself may become a hazard to other drivers.
• Speeding: Trucking companies may hold drivers to strict deadlines, motivating truck drivers to go over the speed limit. This can make them more likely to lose control and cause an accident.
• Improper Maintenance: If a truck is not serviced between trips, the vehicle could break down over time, leading to dangerous mechanical failures while on the road.

At Parthemos, Curran, Buelow and Polizzi, PLLC, our lawyers are ready to drive out to the scene of the accident to determine what went wrong and who can be held responsible for it.

Catastrophic Injury in Truck Accidents

Catastrophic injuries refer to injuries that are so severe that the victim's life is drastically changed, with long-term or permanent implications. For example, the loss of a limb in a truck accident could result in the loss of your job or a tangible loss of income for the rest of your life. In other cases, you might suffer a loss of independence due to a catastrophic brain injury or spinal cord injury.

After a catastrophic injury, you may be inundated with bills while grappling with your changed quality of life. An attorney can advocate for maximum compensation on your behalf to provide you with long-term stability. If your injury requires continuous care, we can fight for a settlement or verdict that addresses your ongoing medical bills.

We can even help you recover compensation for damages that do not have a fixed price tag. If you were left paraplegic from a truck accident, you could be paid for your reduced enjoyment of activities you used to participate in and other forms of emotional trauma.

Evidence in a Truck Accident

To file a successful truck accident claim, you will need to supply proof of negligence by the truck driver, the trucking company, or another third party. We can document multiple forms of evidence, including:

• Photos of the truck that clearly show a mechanical failure
• The truck driver's logbook
• Eyewitness testimony
• Police reports
• Data from cell phones showing that the truck driver was distracted

At Parthemos, Curran, Buelow and Polizzi, PLLC, our attorneys will leave no stone unturned when it comes to gathering evidence for your claim. We can name multiple parties at fault in your claim so that all liable parties are held responsible.
