Moriarty Truck Crash Lawyers
There is often heavy commercial vehicle traffic on New Mexico highways. The state’s location, and in particular its prominence in the oil industry, means that there are large tractor-trailers that you must contend with on the roads. When you have been injured in a crash with one of these large vehicles, you may have suffered serious injuries that could entitle you to significant financial compensation. Contact an experienced truck crash lawyer who can fight for you during the legal process. This is a call that you absolutely must make to have the best chance at recovering the most possible compensation for your injuries.
What Are Common Causes of Truck Crashes?
Trucks are very large and complex vehicles that must be operated expertly for everyone else on the road to remain safe. However, truck drivers are not always fully trained and may be careless, causing serious crashes.
Some common causes of truck crashes include:
- Truck driver errors or carelessness
- Fatigued truck driving
- Speeding
- Distracted driving
- Poorly maintained trucks
- Failure to properly load cargo onto trucks
Your truck crash lawyer will conduct a complete investigation of your crash, gathering the evidence that you need to prove that someone else was at fault for what happened.
Who Is Liable for a Truck Crash?
The truck driver would not be the real party in interest in your case, unless they were an independent contractor who was working for themselves. The real party that you want to be able to sue is the trucking company because they have the deeper pockets necessary to pay for your serious injuries.
If the truck driver was working for a trucking company and on the job at the time of the crash, their employer would be legally responsible for what happened. Truck drivers are agents of their employer, and their actions are considered to be as if their employer committed them.
There may also be various other parties responsible for your truck crash injuries, including a manufacturer of a defective truck part or a third party who was involved in maintaining or loading cargo onto the truck. Your truck crash lawyer would conduct a complete investigation to determine who you may be able to sue.
Why Are Truck Crash Settlements Often Large?
There are two primary factors that may make your truck crash settlement larger than the average personal injury case:
- Trucking companies carry large insurance policies, and they have the assets necessary to pay for the full scope of your damage.
- Truck crashes often cause more serious injuries because a commercial vehicle vastly outweighs your own passenger car.
The amount of money at stake can make your truck crash case inherently more complex. It is essential that you stay the course and fight to get every dollar that you are due in compensation. The key is that you know the value of your truck crash case before you file a claim or lawsuit.
Why Do I Need a Truck Crash Lawyer?
There are many factors at play that make a truck crash claim more complex than a typical personal injury lawsuit. First, there are more sources of potential proof, but you would need a lawyer who can work to obtain them in the lawsuit process. Second, you are likely dealing with more money at stake, so you need a lawyer who can both estimate your damages and fight for you to get all the compensation you deserve. You only get one chance to settle or win a truck crash claim, so you need to take your best legal shot right now. Our team of experienced lawyers prepares for every case as if we are going to trial, providing you with aggressive legal representation in the process.
