A truck accident can be a physically, emotionally, and financially devastating event. If you or someone you love was injured in a recent truck accident, we can help. Our Hermitage truck accident lawyer will help you hold the at-fault party accountable for their negligent actions.
At Berger and Green, we know how complex truck accident cases can be. Let us handle this complex legal matter for you. We will prove the cause of your accident, identify the at-fault party, and negotiate a fair settlement for you. Our personal injury lawyers can handle the legal process while you focus on your health.
A collision with a truck can leave you with extensive medical bills. At the same time, your injuries may prevent you from working to support yourself and your family. While you concentrate on your physical recovery, we can get to work recovering your lost income and other accident-related expenses.
Our client-focused legal team will:
Our goal is to ensure you can get the medical and psychological support you need while holding the at-fault party responsible for their negligent actions.
According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), the driver and passengers in a smaller vehicle are more likely to sustain serious or fatal injuries than the occupants of a larger truck.
Truck accident injuries can include:
Sadly, collisions between passenger vehicles and trucks can also lead to fatalities. If you lost a loved one in a truck accident, our law firm will explain additional compensation options for your family.
Your truck accident case is multifaceted. Our law firm will uncover how another party’s negligence caused your accident and compile a robust evidence file. We start by proving the legal elements of negligence, which include:
These factors play a role in the cause of your accident. According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), causes of truck accidents can include:
We can obtain a copy of your truck accident report to substantiate your case. It can tell us the contact details of the driver, the trucking company, and their insurers. It may also provide details on what led to the accident with notes and diagrams from the investigating officer.
When we fight for your financial recovery, we work hard to pursue all at-fault parties and seek compensation from one or more insurance companies. Depending on the cause of your accident, potentially liable parties can include:
At Berger and Green, our truck accident lawyer serving injured clients in Hermitage will prove the causes and contributing factors of your accident with the following evidence:
Much of the evidence we collect will also prove the accident’s immediate and ongoing costs.
A collision with a large truck can leave you with increasing medical, rehabilitation, and therapy bills. In addition to these bills, you may also incur the costs of assistive medical devices, treatment-related travel expenses, and in-home medical support.
Additional compensation we fight to recover for you can include:
If your family lost a loved one, you have our commitment to work hard to recover wrongful death damages. These can include the costs of making their final arrangements and your loss of their companionship and financial contributions.
Like all civil lawsuits, yours has a filing deadline mandated by the state. In Pennsylvania, the personal injury statute of limitations is generally two years, per Pa. C.S.A. § 5524. The statutory clock starts running on the date the accident occurred.
While meeting the filing deadline is mandatory, it can also be complicated. In wrongful death cases, the statutory clock starts running on the date of your loved one’s demise. If, however, you are also filing a survivor’s action, it follows the personal injury statute of limitations. Under a survivor’s action claim, family members can pursue damages incurred before their loved one’s death. You could recover such damages as pain and suffering and the costs of their medical care.
In addition to statutory compliance, there are additional benefits to getting our team involved in your case sooner rather than later. Early intervention means we can speak to witnesses while their memories are vivid and canvass the accident scene for security, surveillance, and dashcam footage.
If you or a loved one was injured in a truck accident, our Hermitage truck accident lawyer can help you build a strong case for financial recovery.
