Understanding the Compensation You Deserve
In the aftermath of a tractor-trailer accident, you can receive damages for the physical, emotional, and financial toll you’ve experienced. These damages can be both economic and non-economic.
Economic damages cover tangible expenses like medical bills, rehabilitation costs, medication expenses, physical therapy fees, and transportation costs for medical appointments.
Additionally, Belal Hamideh can leverage his extensive network to connect you with healthcare providers working on a contingency basis, easing the financial burden.
Non-economic damages encompass intangible losses such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, and the loss of enjoyment of life. In cases resulting in fatalities, wrongful death suits can be pursued to secure compensation for funeral costs and related concerns.
Different Kinds of Tractor-Trailer Accidents
Tractor-trailer accidents can manifest in various forms, each carrying severe consequences. No matter what kind of truck accident you suffered, Belal can help you to recover compensation for all that you’ve been through.
Rollovers occur when a truck overturns onto its side, potentially colliding with multiple vehicles and causing widespread devastation.
Jackknifing, often triggered by factors like excessive speed or equipment failure, results in the trailer folding at the joint, causing a loss of control.
Underride accidents involve smaller vehicles sliding beneath the truck, leading to serious injuries.
These accidents, along with others, can have diverse causes, ranging from unsecured cargo to blown-out tires and other mechanical failures, underscoring the importance of seeking legal counsel.

When you entrust your case to Belal Hamideh, a comprehensive investigation is initiated to identify all parties liable for the accident.
While the truck driver may bear responsibility for negligence, other parties may share fault. These can include the trucking company, cargo loaders, manufacturers, or maintenance personnel.
