What Else Makes Truck Accidents More Complicated?

As previously mentioned, having more potentially liable parties makes truck accident claims more complex. Plus, there are specialized regulations trucking companies must follow that go far beyond regular traffic laws. In addition, there is more evidence involved than in a typical car accident. And that means more photos, videos, recordings, and statements to pore through.

In addition, truck accidents often result in greater injuries and damages suffered by accident victims. As such, victims may still be in the midst of treatment and rehabilitation as their claim is being resolved, leaving them to estimate future medical expenses and lost income.

Finally, because the injuries are typically more severe and there are multiple parties that can be held responsible, liability is frequently contested. When there are large financial damages, the at-fault parties will try to deny any wrongdoing to avoid paying large accident settlements to the victim.

Why You Need a Detroit Truck Accident Lawyer

Attorneys working in Detroit are all too aware of the poor road conditions in the city. Potholes, poor drainage, uneven surfaces, and inadequate maintenance easily contribute to rollover accidents. In addition, some of the streets in Detroit built before significant population growth have narrow lanes that don’t easily accommodate full-size trucks. That means there is a growing number of truck accident cases in the city.

A Detroit truck accident lawyer is critical for handling such cases. They will negotiate with insurers to ensure that you receive the maximum compensation you deserve. They will also handle your claim and administrative tasks and will file the necessary paperwork.

Your attorney will be key in investigating your case by reviewing accident reports, medical records, truck driver and repair records, on-site surveillance, data recorded on the truck at the time of and before the accident, and other evidence.

Finally, an experienced injury attorney specializing in truck accidents that occur in Detroit knows all of the crucial federal or state safety violations that render specific parties negligent. And, they also know all of the required insurance coverage as well.

In other words, having an experienced truck accident lawyer in Detroit can result in receiving a much larger settlement in less time than had you tried to represent yourself. And if there is no option to obtain a fair settlement, your attorney will also be able to represent you in court.

Other Top Reasons to Get a Lawyer for a Truck Accident In Detroit

There are, of course, myriad other ways an attorney can help. To strengthen your case and increase your compensatory outcome, they can (and will) do the following:

1. Stop the Trucking Company from Destroying Evidence

As weird as this may sound, motor carriers may be legally permitted to destroy evidence that will disprove their negligence under certain circumstances if they’re not specifically asked to preserve that evidence within a certain amount of time once the retention period has expired. This can be as little as 90 to 120 days after your truck accident. An experienced Detroit truck accident lawyer knows to serve the necessary “preservation of evidence/spoliation” letters. Or they can go to court to file temporary restraining orders to preserve the needed evidence.

2. Bring in Top Experts to Join the Legal Team

Having highly experienced experts to determine the reason for the truck accident in Detroit and the extent of damage you’ve suffered will strengthen your case. The most commonly used experts in truck crash cases include:

Crash reconstruction experts
Driver trainers
State and Federal regulation experts
Mechanics and engineers
Toxicology experts who can speak to whether driver was under the influence
Truck accident experts
Lifecare planners who can explain to judges and juries a victim’s life and needs going forward

Adding these experts will help the truck accident team at Kajy Law to get to the bottom of things when taking on and determining how much your case is worth.

3. Hold All Responsible Parties Accountable

It’s not always easy to identify all of the defendants in a truck crash case at the onset. Motor carrier companies and other trucking industry corporations go to great lengths to create complex corporate entities so they can hide layers of insurance and assets. An experienced Detroit truck accident lawyer knows how to find and identify all of the financial resources that those parties can contribute to a settlement amount that reflects the REAL value of your case.
