18 Wheeler Accident Lawyers Discuss Why Truck Accidents Are Different?

It’s simple physics on the common causes.

The bigger and heavier the hammer, the more damaging the blow.

With 18-wheeler crashes, the passenger vehicles are on the receiving end.

However, that’s not the only thing that makes these crashes different.

Cases involving 18-wheelers are complicated because:

• 18 wheeler crashes often involve multiple vehicles, severe injuries, and fatalities.

  That means there is often more money on the line, and the negotiations and litigation that follow can be more of a war than a battle. You need a New York truck accident law firm that is strong enough to take on teams of insurance company lawyers representing large corporations, individuals, and even truck part manufacturers.

• A truck driver isn’t the only one who can be held liable.

  In an 18-wheeler accident, our attorneys may pursue compensation from the trucking company and any of the parties involved with loading and unloading the vehicle, along with those responsible for training and supervising the driver. Some trucks are leased, and the driver is an employee of the owner. Some drivers own their trucks and work under contract. This is just part of the liability maze our attorneys will navigate for you after a crash.

• Defective auto parts or poor maintenance can also lead to an accident.

  When auto parts are defective or systems fail, the manufacturer or distributor could be held liable. In addition, the mechanic or garage that installed the part or failed to properly maintain the truck could also be to blame. Our 18-wheeler accident attorneys at Belluck & Fox will identify all the players who could be held liable for defective parts or improper maintenance.

• There are strict federal and state regulations and local rules governing 18-wheelers.

  These regulations cover hours spent driving, the number of miles driven, cargo, insurance coverage requirements, and licensing for the hauler and the driver. At Belluck & Fox, our attorneys are extremely knowledgeable about these complicated trucking regulations, including federal guidelines and those imposed by New York state.

• There are complex insurance requirements for 18-wheelers.

  Because of the huge potential costs and risks of property damage, injury, and death, coverage often is layered and involves a number of insurers. Our attorneys are prepared to negotiate with multiple parties to pursue the full and fair compensation you deserve.

At Belluck & Fox, we appreciate that trucking companies and drivers work hard to deliver the things that keep this country running.  It isn’t an easy job, and it can be dangerous.

However, for those who have been seriously hurt in an 18-wheeler accident, recovering the compensation you need from a web of insurance companies can seem impossible without a skilled attorney on your side.

Contact us now to schedule a free, no-obligation consultation. Our attorneys can meet with you and your family at your home or in the hospital, wherever is most convenient for you.
