Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Who can be held liable for commercial trucking accidents?
If you or a loved one has been injured in a collision with a commercial truck, there may be several parties that could be held liable for the damages. An experienced personal injury attorney knows how to investigate the relationship between the driver and the trucking company, whether the tractor and the trailer are owned/controlled by separate entities, and investigate other potential parties.
How much is my commercial truck accident case worth?
In fact, the average settlement amount for truck accidents is over $40,000, but varies based on many case factors. More damages to the body (i.e., a broken neck versus a broken toe) equals more money damages, as you will require more care and modifications to your life as a result of your injury. There isn’t any set guideline for how much a truck accident is worth, but a personal injury attorney experienced in trucking collisions will be able to provide guidance on how much is just compensation.
How long do I have to file a truck accident lawsuit?
The statute of limitations for filing against a commercial truck driver is dependent on what kind of claim you are filing and where you are filing your claim. For example, if you are filing a personal injury claim in Missouri against a truck driver, you currently have 5 years to file your claim. However, you have two years to file in Illinois. Because over the road truck drivers are often driving in states where they do not live or states where their employer isn’t domiciled, then there may be issues concerning where the case belongs (i.e., in state court versus federal court). An experienced personal injury attorney can evaluate the facts and provide guidance on where the case needs to be filed and what’s the appropriate statute of limitations.
How long will my truck accident case take?
On average, most truck accident cases settle between 6 and 16 months from the date of the accident. However, there are many factors that can affect how long a truck accident case takes to settle (such as commercial litigation and the number of parties involved in the claim).
What should I do after a semi-truck accident?
Seek treatment immediately. Even slow-moving semi-trucks hit with significant force behind them due to their mass. Cars are designed to absorb forces from car crashes (to a certain extent), but the human body is not. Even if you do not appear to be injured, it is possible to suffer a traumatic brain injury. Seek medical treatment and keep a friend or family member nearby for the next few days to observe changes in mood or behavior.
