Berger and Green Will Support You Throughout Your Truck Accident Case

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) research notes the significant difference in size between your smaller vehicle and a large truck. This disparity in size means your car could become trapped under a truck, leading to serious or fatal injuries.

To help you recover compensation after your accident, our truck accident attorneys can:

Build a solid case for financial recovery
Ensure your case is accurately assessed
Establish the at-fault party’s negligence
Handle all case-related communication
Canvass the accident scene for evidence
Explain insurance and legal language
Answer your legal questions and concerns

We make sure you get regular updates on the progress of your case, negotiate a favorable monetary settlement, and represent you in court if necessary.

Truck Accident Injuries Can Change Your Life

The injuries you sustain in a collision with a large truck can leave you with life-changing or life-threatening injuries. Truck accident injuries can include:

Burns
Lacerations
Broken bones
Internal injuries
Back and neck injuries
Traumatic brain injuries

Sadly, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), as many as 110 truck accident fatalities occurred in 2020. If your family experienced the loss of a loved one in the accident, we can help you file a wrongful death lawsuit or a survival claim.

What You Need to Know About the Causes of Truck Accidents

You are entitled to recover compensation after an accident if it was caused by negligence. Per the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), known truck accident causes include:

Factors related to the vehicle, such as manufacturing and design flaws, lighting issues, and brake or tire failure
Factors related to the driver, such as fatigue, hours-of-service violations, alcohol use, and distracted driving
Factors related to the condition of the road, including hazards, potholes, snow, and ice

To uncover the causes and contributing factors in your accident, we conduct a comprehensive investigation. We can also create a robust evidence file that documents the accident’s causes, contributing factors, and resulting costs.

Leave Evidence Collection to Our Team at Berger and Green

When our truck accident lawyer builds your case in Munhall, we start by collecting evidence that proves your version of the accident and your right to compensation. The evidence may include:

Official police report
Accident reconstruction
Photos and video footage
Truck driver logbook
Truck maintenance records
Driver training history
Cargo loading records

This evidence proves the cause of your accident. We also collect evidence that proves its financial impact. That can include medical bills, employment and salary history records, and vehicle repair and replacement estimates.

Potential Compensation For Your Truck Accident Case

A truck accident can leave you with a plethora of medical bills. At the same time, your injuries can prevent you from returning to work to support yourself and your family. Our law firm will help you recover damages that include:

Medical, rehab, and therapy bills
Full- and part-time income loss
Treatment-related travel expenses
Property damage or total loss

You can also recover several non-economic damages that can be difficult to document on your own. They include:

Physical disability or disfigurement
Physical pain and suffering
Mental and emotional distress
Diminished quality of life

To substantiate your non-economic damages, we collect medical, psychological, rehab, and therapy records from every healthcare professional or facility where you received treatment.

What You Need to Know About the Statute of Limitations

In Pennsylvania, the statute of limitations for personal injury lawsuits is generally two years from the date of the accident, according to Pa. C.S.A. § 5524. Various factors can alter the statute of limitations, making it difficult to ensure compliance on your own. With more than 40 years of experience, our legal team can ensure the filing deadline is accurately interpreted.

The loss of a loved one in a truck accident can leave your family reeling and unsure of what to do. We can help you understand your options. Via a survival claim or a wrongful death lawsuit, you can recover a range of damages.

The legal action your family files and its corresponding statute of limitations varies depending on the date of your loved one’s demise. Focus on taking care of your family. Our law firm will handle this sensitive and emotionally challenging case for you.
