Why Truck Accidents Are Different

Truck accidents differ significantly from car accidents due to the size, weight and commercial nature of these vehicles. These cases often involve:

• Severe injuries: Trucks cause greater damage due to their size and force during collisions.
• Multiple liable parties: Liability can extend to the driver, trucking company, maintenance crew or manufacturers of defective parts.
• Complex regulations: Federal laws, like hours-of-service rules, govern trucking operations and can impact your case.

Handling a truck accident claim requires more than basic legal knowledge. An experienced attorney like Mr. Montgomery is well-versed in investigating, documenting and presenting these complex cases.

Common Injuries In Truck Accidents

Truck accidents frequently result in catastrophic injuries, including:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI): Long-term effects on cognitive and physical abilities
• Spinal cord injuries: Paralysis or limited mobility requiring lifelong care
• Broken bones: Fractures that may necessitate surgery and rehabilitation
• Internal injuries: Damage to organs caused by the impact of the crash
• Burns and disfigurement: Injuries from fires or chemical exposure during the accident

Seeking compensation for your damages due to these injuries requires a strategic legal approach from a seasoned lawyer like Mr. Montgomery.
