Regardless of the cause of the accident, it’s important to seek medical attention as soon as possible and to consult with an experienced personal injury attorney who can help you understand your legal rights and options for pursuing compensation.

Due to the massive size and weight of commercial trucks, collisions can cause devastating injuries that result in serious, life-altering conditions. Some common injuries after a truck accident include the following:

  • Traumatic Brain Injury: This condition usually results from a hard impact to the head; however, an impact isn’t always necessary. You can get a TBI from whiplash. This injury can cause mood swings, cognitive problems, depression, headaches, coordination problems, and a range of permanent, life-altering disabilities.
  • Spinal Cord Injuries: Spinal cord injuries are some of the most devastating you can sustain. Like a TBI, these can result in a whole host of physical, cognitive, and emotional problems, and may cause a loss of coordination, loss of function in limbs, and even paralysis or death.
  • Severe Burns: Commercial truck accidents may involve an explosion or a fire, which will cause severe burn injuries. These injuries often result in permanent disfigurement, scarring, excruciating pain, and emotional distress.
  • Loss of Limb: Another major injury that can be sustained from a commercial truck accident is loss of limb, which includes the loss of function in or the traumatic amputation of one or more limbs. Loss of function is often the result of nerve damage, TBI, or spinal injuries, while traumatic amputations occur when a limb is detached during the accident. Loss of limb is often permanent and devastating to your quality of life.
  • Emotional and Mental Trauma: Most truck accidents involve invisible damages that can be just as devastating as physical injuries. These include depression, trauma, recurring nightmares, panic attacks, and even personality or behavioral changes. These are the damages that make it hard to cope after an accident. You deserve compensation for these injuries, too.

The deadline to take legal action against the responsible party for your accident-related injuries varies from state to state. However, these time limits can also vary depending on the specific circumstances surrounding your accident.

For this reason, it’s important to contact the Wolf of Justice™ as soon as possible after your truck accident to make sure you don’t miss out on your right to compensation.

TRUCK ACCIDENT FAQS

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The first thing you should do after an accident is stay calm. Call first responders so everyone involved in the accident can be evaluated by a medical professional. Even if you don’t think you’re hurt, adrenaline may be masking the pain from your injuries, so it’s important not to skip this step. Next, if you can, take photographs of the accident scene. The more documentation you have, the stronger your case will be. Exchange information with the other driver, and obtain contact information from all witnesses.

It’s always a good idea to have a commercial truck accident attorney, like those at the Wolf of Justice™, fighting in your corner. This is because insurance companies routinely avoid payouts. As a for-profit business, they make more money when they pay you less. You need someone who will build a case that gives you the best shot at maximum compensation for the harm you’ve suffered. That’s why we’re here: We won’t let the insurance company weasel out of payment. We’ll fight to get you the settlement you deserve.

Every accident case is unique, and if an attorney ever delivers you an exact dollar value, that’s a red flag. Your attorney will be happy to assess whether you have a case and may provide a range for what they think your injuries may net you. Always understand, however, that there’s a negotiation process back and forth, and nobody can say for sure what your case is worth.

There’s a broad range of injuries for which you can be compensated. These include medical bills, pain and suffering, emotional damages, loss of consortium, lost wages, lost potential future earnings, loss of comfort, and more. Phillip S. Georges is an experienced truck accident lawyer who will work with you to determine your exact needs.

The good news is that you don’t have anything to lose by calling a truck accident attorney to handle your case. At the Wolf of Justice™, we work on a contingency basis. This means that we won’t charge anything for the initial case review. Even if we have to go to court—no matter how long it takes, you won’t owe us a dime unless we actually win your case and get compensation for you.

You may have heard of the term “statute of limitations,” which is the amount of time you have to file your case. Each state’s statute of limitations is different; however, regardless of the state, if you exceed the time outlined in the statute before making your case, you could lose your rights to compensation entirely. That’s why it’s so essential that you get in touch with a truck accident lawyer and file your lawsuit as soon as possible.

In the vast majority of cases, when a rear-end accident occurs, the driver who hit the vehicle from behind is usually considered at fault.

This is because the law requires every driver to give themselves plenty of room before the vehicle in front of them to react to sudden stops. However, there are exceptions. If you can demonstrate that the driver in front of you acted in a grossly irresponsible way, then it’s possible they might be responsible for the injuries you’ve suffered. On the other hand, if you have been rear-ended, the driver behind you will likely be responsible for your injuries and damages. In any case, rear-end collisions can be incredibly devastating, and it’s important to contact an experienced truck accident attorney to discuss your legal options. If you’ve been hurt in a rear-end collision, contact Phillip S. Georges, the Wolf of Justice™ today so we can begin reviewing your case.

Modified comparative negligence can determine fault for a commercial truck accident. If you are found to hold a share of the blame for the accident, your award can be reduced by that percentage. For instance, if your case is worth $200,000 and you’re found to be 25% responsible, you will only get $150,000. Likewise, if your responsibility is greater than 50%, you will receive nothing.

Report the accident to your insurance company. Don’t editorialize; stick to the facts of what happened. If the commercial truck driver’s insurance company sends an adjuster to make an offer, never sign what they present to you, and don’t volunteer any information! Direct them to the Wolf of Justice™ for further discussion.

In most cases, no. Releasing your medical records could prejudice your claim if they are taken out of context and not properly presented to the insurance company. For example, if your wrist was sprained in the accident and you sign a medical record release, the opposing insurance company could find that your wrist was broken five years ago and discredit the pain you’re experiencing now by claiming it’s a pre-existing injury. You need an attorney who knows how to work with doctors in order to put your medical records in the proper and truthful light.

Medical record releases should only be signed in very select circumstances, and always after you have spoken with an experienced truck accident lawyer.

For the most part, personal injury cases—including truck accident cases—are handled through negotiation. It starts when we review and evaluate your case. Then, we submit a demand letter, outlining how much we want and why. The defendant’s attorneys will send back a counteroffer, explaining why they think ours is too high. Most of the time, after a bit of back and forth, we come to a middle ground that satisfies everyone. Sometimes negotiations become more complex, though, and we have to go to court. If this happens, the Wolf of Justice™ will fight ferociously for you.

Each case is completely unique. That means yours could resolve in a few weeks, or it could take months of fighting to get through. It always requires some time and patience, and it often depends on how clear-cut your case is. Whatever happens, you can be sure that we’ll be there by your side to take on the hard part so you can focus on what’s important: improving your health and living your life again.

We are proud to protect the rights of our injured neighbors in Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, and Wisconsin.
