Fighting for Accountability
Truck accidents that cause significant injuries or fatalities fall outside of the personal injury protection (PIP) insurance coverage. Instead, the rules of liability apply. Truck accident lawyers in Westfield build cases based on the rules of negligence and liability to hold appropriate parties accountable for damages.
In truck accident cases, the following parties can be individually or jointly responsible for the resulting damages:
- Driver;
- Driver’s employer (trucking company, warehouse);
- Shipping company;
- Truck repair shop;
- Road construction contractors; and
- Other drivers.
When the driver is the negligent party, the driver’s employer may also be held liable under the theory of vicarious liability. Driver negligence in trucking cases often manifests as:
- Driving drowsy;
- Driving too many hours;
- Failing to perform a vehicle safety inspection; and
- Improperly loading, engaging, or installing equipment.
Regardless of who is at fault, Cava Law Firm will meticulously build a case requiring the offender and their insurance company to pay proper damages.
Recovering the Damages You Deserve
Truck accident victims face some of the most severe traffic injuries. Tens of thousands of pounds of uncontrolled truck can cause much damage, even at slow speeds. The resulting injuries often lead to long-term treatment and care and a lack of gainful employment.
We fight to get you compensated for:
- Medical expenses;
- Lost income;
- Injury-related expenses;
- Property damage;
- Funeral and burial expenses;
- Pain and suffering;
- Loss of enjoyment of life; and
- Emotional distress.
We will even seek punitive damages if you were harmed by gross negligence or willful or wanton actions.
Cava Law Firm diligently represents truck accident victims by relentlessly pursuing the full amount of damages they are owed.
Frequently Asked Questions
If you have questions about truck accidents, our truck accident lawyers in Westfield have answers. Do not hesitate to call us for the information you need.
What is the statute of limitations for truck accident claims?
There is a three-year statute of limitations beginning from the time of the accident. After three years, a claim for damages no longer exists if a victim does not take legal action. If they do not, insurance companies are under no obligation to pay for a policyholder’s negligence.
For this reason, truck accident victims should meet with an experienced truck accident lawyer in Westfield as soon as practically possible after their truck accident.
How much does a Westfield truck accident attorney charge?
A percentage of your compensation total will go to your truck accident lawyer in Westfield at the end of your case. The percentage varies according to the complexity of your case and the time needed to resolve the claim.
What if I am partially at fault for the truck accident?
If you are partially at fault for a truck accident that injured you, you may still potentially recover damages from a liable party. However, you must be no more than 50% at fault for the truck accident.
How long will my truck accident case take?
It depends entirely on the circumstances of your accident. Some cases can take years and others under a year. Factors that can cause your case to take a while include:
- Extensive injuries;
- Multiple liable parties; and
- Evidence issues and investigation.
In every case, Cava Law Firm works diligently to get cases settled promptly and properly, most cases settle in months, not years!
