A big rig can weigh 30,000 pounds before it is loaded, and the physics of that are unforgiving for anyone it hits. What follows is rarely a dispute with one person: a truck accident attorney may be establishing fault against the driver, the trucking company, or another party altogether, depending on what caused the crash.
Driver fatigue, excessive speed, improper loading, overloading and neglected vehicle maintenance all point at different defendants. Expect the trucking company to resist the claim with an army of attorneys and insurance agents behind it.
Serious Injuries Deserve Serious Representation
Following a truck accident, you may have very large medical bills to deal with—even if you have good insurance. You may also find yourself with lingering symptoms or permanent injuries that affect your ability to work, perform normal daily tasks, and enjoy your former quality of life.
At The Law Offices of Alejo Lugo & Associates, we take your injuries and suffering seriously. We will not allow the trucking company to unfairly deny or downplay your damages and rob you of the compensation you deserve. Instead, we will focus on securing ample evidence and documentation to support your claim so you can receive full and fair compensation for all applicable damages such as:
- Current medical expenses
- Future medical costs
- Lost wages
- Lost earning potential
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Disfigurement
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage to your vehicle
We Handle All Kinds of Truck Accidents
There are many possible causes of truck accidents that can result in the trucking company being liable for the victims’ injuries:
- Driver error
- Driver fatigue
- Driver intoxication
- Excessive speed
- Improper loading
- Overloading
- Negligent vehicle maintenance
These different causes will affect the strategy that must be used to prove liability and secure compensation. After over 20 years of experience, The Law Offices of Alejo Lugo & Associates is familiar with all the nuances involved in these different types of cases. You can rely on us to correctly identify the at-fault party in your case and then aggressively pursue compensation.
Do Not Attempt to Settle a Truck Accident Claim By Yourself
Because truck accident cases typically involve complex corporate liability issues, large damages, and vigorous opposition, it is not a good idea to try to settle your claim by yourself. If you attempt to do so, you will most likely end up missing out on thousands of dollars’ worth of compensation. With The Law Offices of Alejo Lugo & Associates on your side, you don’t have to worry about accidentally accepting a lowball settlement offer. We will help you understand the strength of your case, the value of your damages, and the fairness of any settlement offers you may receive. We are not afraid to stand up to big trucking companies and negotiate for a settlement that is fair to our client. If a fair settlement is not forthcoming, we can and will take your case to court.
