Truck Accident Liability in New York
When pursuing legal action in the aftermath of a truck accident, one of the most crucial components of your case is proving liability. You, as the plaintiff, must show that the truck driver is solely responsible for the injuries you’ve sustained. When determining liability, the first step is identifying the responsible person or entity and name them as defendants in your claim. Identifying defendants should be done with the assistance of a lawyer – with these types of cases, you want to make sure you don’t mistakenly leave out a defendant.
Defendants in your injury claim can include:
- Truck drivers
- Trucking companies
- Manufacturers
- Mechanics and maintenance companies
When to Call an Attorney After a Truck Accident
If you have been injured in a truck accident, you must seek legal representation as soon as possible.
Truck accidents are complex, and there are usually large damages on the line for injured parties. This means trucking companies and their insurance providers have a vested interest in suppressing, hiding, or destroying relevant evidence. As such, prompt investigation by your independent legal counsel is critical to the success of your claim, and doing so can help ensure you have all the necessary evidence to demonstrate liability for your injuries, losses, and related damages.
By calling an attorney after your truck accident, you increase your chances of being able to obtain compensation for damages, such as:
- Catastrophic bodily injury (such as amputation, brain injuries, burns, etc.)
- Inability to continue working
- Lost wages, savings, retirement funds, etc.
- Permanent or long-term disabilities
- Surgeries, rehabilitation, and other medical care related to your injuries
- Wrongful death of a loved one
Given that many truck accidents result in devastating bodily injury, seeking medical attention almost always takes precedence over speaking to an attorney. However, as soon as you are stabilized or you are able to enlist the help of a loved one, it is imperative that you connect with an attorney who is able to personally investigate the scene of the accident, get to work sending letters regarding the preservation of evidence, and begin protecting your rights immediately.
Common Types of Truck Accidents
Any type of vehicle accident can result in detrimental consequences; however, truck accidents often involve the most devastating due to the sheer size and force of these vehicles.
Common types of semi-truck collisions include:
- Jackknifing
- Tire blowouts
- Side-impact collisions
- Rollovers
- Lost loads
- Rear-end crashes
- Head-on collisions
Sadly, many of these incidents can be caused by negligent or reckless actions. When truck drivers fail to responsibly operate their vehicles, it can put others on the road around them in serious danger. If you believe your accident was caused by the truck driver involved, make sure you get counsel right away.
