Who is Responsible for my Truck Accident Injury?

Truck accident cases are often very complex. A truck accident can involve multiple parties across different states. Establishing which party is liable for your injuries requires a thorough investigation. An accident investigation may reveal several causes of your accident, and your lawyer must determine the legal cause of your injuries. The investigative process requires the kind of skill, resources, and experience that you will find at Gold & Gold.

A truck accident investigation will reveal what kind of case you have. For example, if the accident was caused by a defective part in the truck, you may have a valid claim against the manufacturers or sellers of the part.

Filing a Truck Accident Lawsuit

Typically, just like any other automobile accident, victims can get compensation for their losses under either their insurance policy or the insurance policy of the party at fault. Often in a truck accident, the losses from the victim’s injury exceed the insurance coverage limits. It is therefore necessary to file a lawsuit to get full compensation for the victim’s losses. The insurance companies may offer you a settlement, but it is always advisable to speak with an experienced truck accident attorney before you accept any offers. An experienced trucking accident attorney has the necessary skill to determine and prove the value of your losses.
