Compensation You May Recover After Your Accident

In Pennsylvania, the compensation you may recover after a truck accident depends somewhat on your car insurance. You’re offered no-fault car insurance, which means that it doesn’t matter who is responsible for the accident: your insurance will cover whoever is under your policy up to your coverage limits. There are exceptions, depending on the severity of your injuries and what kind of coverage you opted for.

After reviewing your policy, our attorneys can fully explain these and other issues surrounding compensation. In general, the personal injury damages that may be covered are:

• Property damage
• Medical costs
• Loss of income
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of companionship
• Future medical care

Call Berger and Green now to find out what compensation you could be entitled to.

How Our Bellevue Truck Accident Attorneys Help You

Berger and Green investigates all facets of the accident and compiles the resulting data for use in your case. Areas of interest may include:

• Accident scene – Our investigators and experts will look at the weather and visibility at the time of the accident, the road conditions, traffic movement, skid marks, and other physical evidence at the scene.
• Visual evidence – We gather video from CCTV and footage from individuals, along with still images, to shed light on what was happening just before, during, and after the accident.
• Statements – We collect statements from witnesses and the passengers and drivers involved in the accident.
• Vehicle inspections – Our experts examine the vehicles involved in the accident for damage that can be attributed to the accident. They may also be able to identify mechanical failure due to poor maintenance or worn parts, which may implicate a liable party.
• Reports – Our truck injury attorneys collect copies of reports generated by the Bellevue Police Department, the insurance agency, or other accident investigators.
• Medical records – We pull together copies of your medical records and documentation of the injuries you sustained from the accident.

Once we’ve gathered the evidence, we build your case and file your claim. Throughout the process, we communicate with involved parties, negotiate with insurance companies for a fair settlement, and prepare for trial as necessary.

A Berger and Green Client’s Experience

Our client reviews page is filled with stories like the following:

“. . .I was in a horrific car accident. . .and once Bill became my attorney he actually would just call me out of the blue to see if I was doing okay. He always called to let me know if he was going on vacation or out of town and then he called me when he got back. . . It will never give me back what I lost but it was something…it’s kind of like something that made you feel there is some justice in the world.” -Helene

Liability for Your Commercial Truck Accident

Determining who is responsible for your accident will play a part in how your case is resolved. Our personal injury attorneys can determine who is liable when we investigate your case. Parties that you may be able to hold responsible for your semi-truck accident include:

• The truck driver who may be an employee of a company or an independent contractor. Their driving history and the physical condition they were in when the accident occurred can tell our Bellevue lawyers whether or not they are liable.
• The local government agency responsible for road maintenance. If the road was in disrepair and contributed to or caused the accident, liability could rest with the agency.
• The trucking company that may have demanded an unreasonable delivery schedule from the driver or may have neglected vehicle maintenance.
• The cargo loaders who may have improperly stowed the cargo, causing it to shift during transport and throw the truck off balance.
• The manufacturers of parts used in the truck may have produced defective pieces that contributed to the truck’s malfunction and caused the accident.

At Berger and Green, our attorneys and expert witnesses can review the various aspects of liability to indicate the responsible party or parties. When we identify who is responsible and who may have contributed, we will pursue them for your financial recovery.
