Determining Negligence After a Truck Accident

A trucking company is responsible for training safe drivers and exercising great care when it comes to fleet maintenance. However, to make a profit, greedy trucking companies frequently cut corners and pressure their drivers into adopting reckless driving habits just to meet irrational deadlines. These frantic drivers forgo essential breaks and even lose sleep just to meet their employers’ demands.

Truck collisions occur when drivers participate in these dangerous behaviors:

Speeding
Distracted driving
Fatigued driving
Driving under the influence
Tailgating

Truck collisions can also occur due to:

Poor vehicle maintenance
Improper cargo loading
Equipment failure

Negotiating or litigating for damages can be a complicated process when a truck driver is involved. This is because multiple parties can be held liable for your injuries. During your consultation, we can discuss the circumstances surrounding your case and help you determine the negligent entities.

The following entities can be held liable in a truck accident case:

Truck driver
Trucking company
Maintenance crew
Leasing company
Truck manufacturer

By listening to your story and investigating the accident, we can devise a litigation strategy that can achieve your legal objectives. A beneficial settlement or verdict can provide you with both economic and non-economic damages.

Negotiating for Essential Damages

After an accident is reported, the defendant’s insurance company is already investigating the case and concocting plans to sabotage your claim. Even though you require damages to safeguard your standard of living, the insurance company’s only priority is to save money. In fact, insurance company adjusters are encouraged to utilize problematic tactics that can mitigate your damages. For example, they may contact you after the accident and trick you into making a recorded statement that undermines your potential lawsuit. They may also pressure you into accepting an insufficient settlement amount that prevents you from seeking additional damages in the future. Since this settlement may not cover your present and future medical expenses, this may put you in a position of great financial hardship in the future.

At Barry Regar APLC, our truck accident lawyers can tirelessly negotiate with the defendant’s insurance company on your behalf. We can review the financial losses associated with your injury and help you decide if a settlement offer can properly facilitate your physical and financial recovery. If necessary, we can also aggressively litigate in court to maximize your claim and safeguard your quality of life.

“I would highly recommend Barry to anyone needing good, strong representation in the courts.”
Many are quick to denigrate lawyers but not all lawyers deserve the reputation. I called Barry Regar on a Sunday afternoon and, unlike the others I Called, Barry returned my call quickly even though it was Sunday. After I gave Barry the history of my accident he acted quickly and decisively. He laid out how things would proceed, The expected timeline of events, and a clear understanding of his charges. Barry did not hand me off to an associate but rather was hands-on throughout the process. Barry communicated regularly, keeping me informed as to the progress he was making and what to expect. I never felt like he left me hanging. When I called him, he was always quick to answer the phone. Everything happened just as he said. We got the maximum from the other party. I would highly recommend Barry to anyone needing good, strong representation in the courts.

Barry Regar is a Top Personal Injury Lawyer with four decades of experience and fought my case with the Insurance Company and won! I am very pleased! I had a trip and fall accident and I was trying to get over the pain. A friend suggested I call Barry Regar and I'm glad I did! My pain got worse and I had many tests and Doctor appointments. Barry was so knowledgeable with personal insurance companies and Medicare and he solved many billing issues that kept coming up! Barry has impeccable follow-through and would always call me with questions or good news! He handled my claim expertly and made it so easy for me since I know nothing about personal injury law and it would have been a monumental task to do it myself.
