Truck Accident Attorneys in Indianapolis

Truck accidents are not uncommon circumstances on America's roadways, yet they are the most dangerous motor vehicle accidents that take place. When a truck collides with another vehicle, especially one that is much smaller in size, severe and life-threatening injuries will likely occur. When the victim suffers injury from the truck accident, they can and should pursue compensation for the damages suffered.

The trucking industry is vital for our economy, delivering goods from manufacturers to consumers on our extensive network of highway systems. This equates to thousands of trucks sharing roads with hardworking Hoosiers, especially on I-65, I-69, U.S. 30, and I-94. However, every 16 minutes in the United States, a person suffers an injury or wrongful death due to a truck accident.

The Right Representation for a Complex Case

Truck accidents typically involve much more complicated processes than other types of motor vehicle collisions, such as car or motorcycle crashes.

This allows us to evaluate fault for the accident and determine the full extent of your losses so that our team can pursue the compensation you deserve.

During our investigation of your truck accident claim, we work to determine:

• Who was involved and who is liable? It's not always as straightforward as it seems. In fact, in any semi-truck accident claim, there may be a number of liable parties, including but not limited to:
  • The truck driver
  • The trucking company
  • A manufacturer of a truck part
  • The person or entity responsible for truck maintenance
  • Another third party
• Were any laws or trucking regulations violated? There are multiple layers of potential responsibility with a truck accident, and laws that regulate the trucking industry are stricter than those that apply to passenger vehicles. Our truck accident lawyers in Indianapolis work to uncover whether the driver was compliant with all laws and industry regulations, allowing us to help assign liability in your case. We examine critical evidence, such as logbooks and the tractor and trailer themselves before the trucking company can perform repairs.
• What are your harms and losses? Unless you have a minor injury, which rarely happens in these types of cases, you will need an attorney to determine the full extent of your injuries and losses. We look at past and future medical expenses; past and future loss of income/earning capacity; past and future pain, suffering, emotional distress; and loss of quality of life when determining the lifetime impact of the accident.
• Who will pay your medical bills? The trucking company may not pay for your medical bills until you receive your settlement, which may take over a year. Your own health insurance or automobile insurer will usually pay your bills while your case is pending. We can review your insurance coverage to determine who will pay your bills while your case is pending.
