Why Do Truck Accidents Occur?
Commercial truck accidents can happen for a wide variety of different reasons. Indeed, these are among the most complex types of motor vehicle accident claims. Sorting out a crash may take a detailed investigation. Still, most trucking accident claims share one important fact in common: the crash could have been prevented had all parties taken adequate safety precautions. The leading causes of truck accidents in Washington are as follows:
- Fatigued truck drivers;
- Truck driver speeding;
- Untrained or undertrained truckers;
- Unsafe lane changes by truckers;
- Intoxicated drivers;
- Truck tire blowouts;
- Inadequate truck maintenance;
- Negligent loading of trailers; and
- Negligent truck manufacturers.
If your truck accident was caused by the reckless or careless conduct of another party, you may be entitled to compensation for your losses. Do not assume that you are prevented from recovering compensation for your damages. Every truck accident should be investigated by an experienced professional.
Who is Responsible for a Commercial Trucking Accident?
After a trucking accident, one of the challenges is ensuring that you have identified all possible defendants. Many different parties could potentially be responsible for a truck accident. The full scope of negligence that contributed to the crash is not always obvious in the immediate aftermath. You may be able to bring a truck accident claim against any of the following defendants:
- The truck driver;
- The driver’s employer;
- The trucking company;
- The company that leased the truck;
- Truck manufacturers; and
- Third party motorists.
Financial Compensation for a Trucking Accident
Once liability is clear, trucking companies and their insurers re-focus their tactics towards limiting the value of settlement offers/trial verdicts. To recover the full financial compensation that you justly deserve under Washington law, your damages must be well-documented and you must be ready to go up against the insurance company. At Premier Law Group, our Seattle truck accident lawyers have a long record of helping injury victims recover the full financial support that they deserve. You may be able to get compensation for:
- Emergency medical expenses;
- Other medical/healthcare bills;
- Rehabilitative services;
- Lost wages;
- Diminished earning capacity;
- Pain and suffering;
- Permanent scarring;
- Long-term disability; and
- Wrongful death damages.
