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.
