Truck

Semi, tractor-trailer, big-rig – no matter what you call them, these beasts of the road are formidable. Accidents involving large trucks are often traumatic and devastating for those involved. Passenger cars are no match for the size and weight of trucks, and it is often drivers and passengers in these vehicles that are injured or killed.

Sadly, the injuries and devastation involved in the accident itself is only the beginning of what truck accident victims must bear. Getting compensation for those injuries is a complicated and often lengthy process.

If you have been injured in a truck accident, contact Hitzke Law Group. Our truck accident attorneys have years of experience helping accident victims get compensation. We know the complexities involved in truck accident cases and how to overcome obstacles on the road to justice.

Why are Truck Accident Cases Complicated?

Truck accident cases are complicated for several reasons. First, determining who is liable can be a challenge. Is the truck driver liable? What about the owner? What if the accident was caused by a defective part? These are just a few of the questions that must be answered before you can get adequate compensation for your injuries.

Common Damages in Truck Accident Cases

If you are injured in a truck accident and someone else is at least partially responsible for causing the accident, you may be able to recover damages. This can be valuable as you heal and move on from the accident. Common damages claimed in truck accident cases include:

  • Medical Expenses
  • Lost Wages
  • Loss of Earning Capacity
  • Pain and Suffering
  • Property Damage
  • Lifestyle Changes
  • Life Care (for ongoing medical needs)
  • Punitive Damages
