Ohio Truck Accident Attorneys
In Ohio, there are always many freight truck drivers on the road. With many freight truck drivers, there are also many truck accidents. Being involved in an accident with a truck can cause much more damage to your vehicle than being involved in a collision with a regular vehicle. Further, truck accidents can also cause more severe injuries which can have a significant impact on the lives of those involved in the collision with a truck.
If you suffered injuries in a commercial truck crash, you should discuss your legal options with an Ohio truck accident lawyer right away.
Truck Accident Considerations
It is important to be aware of your surroundings when traveling near trucks. Trucks have many blind spots and even the best truck drivers make mistakes and can mishandle cargo. If you find yourself involved in a truck accident, it is important you seek all medical treatment necessary.
After making sure your health is taken care of, it would be prudent to consult with an experienced truck accident attorney to determine what you can do moving forward. Speaking with an experienced truck accident attorney will allow you to determine how your medical bills may be paid, how you can obtain compensation for injuries, and how you can hold the truck driver and company accountable for their conduct.
Trucking companies will have representatives investigating the cause of the crash and gathering evidence right away. They are not on your side, as they will use evidence to try to avoid liability. You need an advocate investigating the crash as soon as possible after it happens. Our truck accident lawyers can work to ensure that evidence is preserved by the trucking company in the event you need to file an injury lawsuit.
We know that multiple parties might be liable, including:
- Truck drivers
- Trucking companies
- Third-party cargo-loading companies
- Truck manufacturers
We identify all sources of liability, which increases the chances that you will be able to have all of your losses covered.
Then, we handle every step of the claim process on your behalf. This includes calculating your past and future losses, communicating, and negotiating with insurance companies, and filing a lawsuit in civil court when necessary. You can focus on your physical recovery and medical treatment while we focus on protecting your legal rights as a truck accident victim and seek the compensation you need.
