A truck accident is a nightmare scenario for many people on the highway. The scale of these accidents may involve multiple cars and severe injuries or even fatalities.

At Parthemos, Curran, Buelow and Polizzi, PLLC, we know how intimidating it can be to file a claim against a commercial trucking company. With over 120 years of shared experience, our attorneys are here to provide you with legal counsel and advocacy to help you get compensation for all of your damages.

Causes of Truck Accidents

Identifying the cause or causes behind a truck accident can help you identify all of the liable parties in your claim. Some of these causes may include:

• Speeding: Truck drivers are often pressured to make long trips in a short amount of time, which can motivate some truck drivers to go over the posted speed limits on roads and highways.
• Drunk Driving: The slightest amount of alcohol in a trucker's bloodstream can be a serious risk to other people on the highway. Notably, the legal blood alcohol content for truck drivers in Virginia is half that of other drivers at .04 percent.
• Improper Maintenance: Trucks need to be maintained like any other vehicle. If a critical issue in the truck goes unaddressed, it could break down on the road.
• Negligent Cargo Loading: Overloading a truck can shift its center of balance, making it harder for the driver to handle. If the truck's load is not secured, it could spill out onto the highway and cause collisions with other vehicles.

At Parthemos, Curran, Buelow and Polizzi, PLLC, we will investigate the crash to determine who can be held liable for your injuries. The more parties we can name at fault, the more compensation you may be able to recover for your damages.

Evidence in a Truck Accident

To make a compelling case for your claim, our attorneys will document evidence that proves who was at fault for the accident. Trucking companies may try to erase any incriminating evidence after an accident to reduce their liability. We can obtain and preserve this evidence for your claim, making sure that nothing is overlooked during our investigation.

While pictures and video can go a long way to demonstrate fault for a truck accident, we can also refer to more technical pieces of evidence. For instance, we may be able to prove that the truck driver was speeding from the truck's black box data, or a truck's maintenance records might show that the mechanics did not fix a critical issue, leading to an accident.

At Parthemos, Curran, Buelow and Polizzi, PLLC, we have a rigorous, thorough methodology when it comes to evidence collection. We are willing to go head-to-head with the trucking company's attorneys to make sure we have all the proof we need to move forward with your claim.

How an Attorney Can Help With Your Claim

As soon as you decide to take legal action, commercial trucking companies will do everything they can to damage your claim. They may offer a small settlement to try to appease you. They may probe you with questions about the accident to get you to admit liability, disqualifying you from compensation. They may even investigate your private life to dispute the severity of your injuries.

At Parthemos, Curran, Buelow and Polizzi, PLLC, we know how these companies operate. We will keep you informed of your rights and protect you from these duplicitous tactics during legal proceedings. When negotiating for compensation, we can speak for you to make sure your rights are enforced.
