Getting involved in any accident can be difficult, but a truck accident can be much more devastating. The large trucks that we see all over the roadways today are not only intimidating to drive alongside, but they can cause a great deal of damage to your vehicle and to you in an accident. Those injuries can be very serious, potentially leaving you hospitalized for days, weeks or even months, requiring lengthy rehabilitation, therapy and so forth. The medical bills can be enormous, leading to any number of worries. Should this happen to you or someone you love, it’s worth it to reach out to a truck accident lawyer with experience for many reasons.
An experienced truck accident attorney like Belal Hamideh plays a critical role in helping victims of truck accidents navigate the complexities of the legal system to secure the compensation they deserve. Truck accidents often leave victims facing substantial physical, emotional, and financial burdens, making it essential to have an advocate who understands how to pursue justice effectively.
An Experienced Attorney Knows Who to Deal With
Having an accident that involves a large truck has greater complications to it than most car accidents. Because of the different laws and regulations that govern the trucking industry, you may have to deal with more than just an individual driver or one insurance company.
Truck accident cases are often more complex than other types of motor vehicle accidents, particularly when it comes to determining liability. In a typical car accident, responsibility might rest with one driver or their insurance company. However, truck accidents often involve multiple parties who may share responsibility for the crash.
The truck driver, for instance, could be liable if negligence, such as fatigue or distracted driving, was a factor. Additionally, the trucking company might bear responsibility if they failed to follow safety regulations, pressured the driver to exceed safe driving limits, or neglected proper hiring and training practices.
Other parties that could be held accountable include the manufacturer of the truck or its components, especially in cases where a mechanical defect contributed to the accident. Mechanics who performed faulty repairs may also share responsibility.
Furthermore, if improperly loaded or secured cargo played a role in the crash, the company responsible for loading the truck could be liable.
Even the owner of the property where the accident occurred might be accountable if unsafe conditions at the location contributed to the collision. Belal Hamideh uses his thorough understanding of these scenarios to identify every liable party, ensuring that victims receive compensation from all those at fault.
Without experience in dealing with this industry, you may not know just what you are to do or what a fair settlement is for the accident you are involved in. As your law firm, we have vast experience in dealing with truck accidents, know the laws well and will stand up to the big companies and insurance giants to make sure your rights are protected.
An Attorney Can Help You Recover All of the Compensation You Deserve
Truck accident cases often involve claims for both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages compensate for the tangible costs associated with the accident, including medical expenses, therapy sessions, counseling, and even ambulance fees.
Victims may also seek compensation for lost wages if their injuries prevent them from working, as well as for the future income they would have earned if the accident had not occurred. Additional compensation may be available for repairing or replacing damaged property, or for making necessary modifications to a home when catastrophic injuries require long-term adjustments or in-home care.
Non-economic damages aim to address the more intangible impacts of an accident. These include compensation for pain and suffering, emotional distress, disfigurement, and a loss of quality of life. Families may also seek recovery for loss of companionship or consortium in cases where a loved one’s injuries have permanently altered their ability to maintain relationships.
Belal Hamideh’s extensive experience ensures that all forms of compensation available under the law are pursued aggressively, with the goal of helping victims and their families recover fully from the aftermath of a truck accident.
