If you were injured in a truck accident caused by someone else’s negligence—whether a truck driver, trucking company, or another party—you may have a valid claim. Key factors include proving negligence, showing the accident caused your injuries, and demonstrating financial losses like medical bills or lost wages.

GoState law gives you two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. If you miss this deadline, you may lose your right to seek compensation. Acting quickly allows your attorney to gather crucial evidence before it disappears.

You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, and, in some cases, punitive damages. If your injuries result in long-term disability, future medical costs and lost earning potential may also be included.

Truck accident liability can extend beyond just the truck driver. Potentially responsible parties include the trucking company, cargo loaders, truck manufacturers, and even government agencies responsible for road maintenance. A thorough investigation determines all liable parties.

Insurance companies often offer quick settlements that don’t reflect the full extent of your damages. Before accepting any offer, consult with a truck accident lawyer who can assess whether the amount fairly compensates you for your injuries and losses.

Seek medical attention immediately, report the accident to the police, gather evidence like photos and witness contact information, and avoid speaking with insurance adjusters before consulting a lawyer. The sooner you get legal representation, the stronger your case will be.

At High Stakes Injury Law, we work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront. We only get paid if we win your case, ensuring that financial concerns never stand in the way of justice.
