When you’re struck by a truck, the force of the impact alone makes it a far more serious accident than other vehicles. Regardless of whether the driver’s negligence caused the accident or if there are other factors at play, it’s within your legal right to seek compensation, and our Hartford, CT truck accident lawyer can help with this!

Hartford, CT Truck Accident Lawyer

Many factors can play into a truck accident, but accidents are often caused by an issue with the driver. It’s common for truck drivers to suffer from driver fatigue as they’re often expected to work long hours with very few breaks in between. Exhausted driving can lead to decreased reaction times. Reckless driving and disobeying traffic laws can also lead to an accident.

Trucking accidents can be trickier than other automobile accidents. The main reason is due to establishing fault and liability. Often, the driver is the one who should be held liable, but other parties might be at play as well. The trucking company can also be held at fault, or even the vehicle manufacturer, if it’s discovered that there was a defective part that contributed to the accident.

Insurance companies understand that liability isn’t always straightforward, and they may leverage this fact to deny a claim. Our professional attorneys can help break through such noise, determining which parties are liable. We’ll aim for the maximum compensation, making sure any settlement can account for both short-term and long-term expenses, alongside factors like pain and suffering and emotional distress.
