Why Truck Accidents Require An Experienced Attorney
Whether it’s a commercial truck, passenger bus, school bus, cement mixer, dump truck, logging truck/trailer, oversized load, or any other truck, you need Brumley Law’s experienced team.
Truck accident claims demand special training from an experienced lawyer. Truck accidents often require accident reconstruction, gathering medical records, and working with experts such as doctors, surgeons, and other medical specialists. Once all the relevant evidence has been uncovered, the experienced truck accident lawyer will be fully prepared to go up against trucking insurance companies.
Other ways that trucking collisions are different include:
- The manner of collision: Jackknifes, rollovers, underrides, and shifting cargo all contribute to the countless methods by which a truck can collide with other vehicles on the road.
- Potential causes: While it may simply be driver error that causes a semi-truck accident, there are several other sources of issues, including unqualified drivers who shouldn’t have been on the road in such a large vehicle, to begin with, poor maintenance, or overloading.
- FMCSA regulations: These cases are particularly complex because trucks and certain types of drivers must follow the rules imposed by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
- Evidence: Truck accident investigation will incorporate logbooks, preserve records, “black box” information, and messages not typical in car accidents.
- Many parties involved: Liability may not be limited to the driver; it could also affect the truck company, insurance carrier, parts fabricators or repairers, and possibly others.
- Time sensitivity: Trucking companies are quick to involve themselves and will attempt to tamper with evidence if legal action is not taken sooner than later.
- Insurance: Most trucking companies carry higher insurance minimums than individual drivers, affecting the potential for compensation.
- Severity of injuries: Collisions involving large commercial trucks and smaller passenger vehicles almost always cause catastrophic injury or death to occupants of the smaller vehicles.

Damages you may be entitled to for your Truck Accident Injuries
The amount of money you can collect from a truck accident claim depends on various circumstances, such as who is liable, the severity of your injuries, and the amount of damages. Damages from the accident are the tangible and intangible losses you suffer in an accident. Examples of potential damages include:
- Medical expenses – this can consist of past and future long-term medical costs.
- Property damage – Damages to your vehicle, personal property (property damaged during the accident), property to buildings/homes or other structures.
- Lost wages (past and future)– time lost because of the inability to work or reduced earnings.
- Pain and suffering – also loss of companionship with loved ones, mental anguish, or trauma.
- Wrongful death – in the time of the unthinkable, you should be compensated appropriately.
