The circumstances under which you might find yourself involved in an accident with a truck can vary. Still, regardless of how it happens, a definite possibility is that you will suffer significant injuries as a result. Injuries from a trucking accident can take time to heal. They can even lead to long-term disability or prevent you from returning to work at all.
Aside from the prospect of lost income, don’t forget the medical bills that can wipe out your savings, outstrip your insurance coverage, and leave you facing the gut-wrenching prospect of personal bankruptcy.
How do you prove it was the truck driver’s fault? Could the company that owned the truck or engaged the driver as an employee or contractor share at least some of the blame? It, and its insurer, will likely dispute any such argument; how can you prevail against them as an only individual against a company and its big insurer? Worse, what if they blame you for what happened?
