Truck Accident Liability

A trucking driver is required to follow hours of service regulations and other state and federal requirements. If a trucker chooses not to do so, they may cause an accident. The truck driver or their employer may then be held accountable for any collision-related costs.

Trucking companies may be held responsible for an accident if they do not provide their drivers with sufficient training or violate various laws. Along with these businesses, cargo loaders may be liable for a crash if they do not load a truck properly. There are also instances where a truck parts manufacturer may be responsible for a crash that happens due to a vehicle defect.

A Goodyear truck accident attorney may examine the facts surrounding your collision and help you determine who is liable. If you are not responsible for your crash, your lawyer may help you file a claim against an at-fault party.

Truck Accident Claim

Per Arizona Revised Statutes (ARS) §12-542, you may have up to two years from the date you suffer a personal injury to seek damages from any at-fault parties. If you get hurt in a trucking collision, you may have a maximum of two years from the date of your crash to pursue compensation. The window for filing a claim may not be extended.

Truck drivers and their employers are required to have insurance coverage. Following a trucking crash, you may request compensation through an insurance claim. Just because you file a claim does not guarantee you will get damages.

An at-fault party’s insurance company may do everything it can to avoid paying out your claim. With help from a truck accident lawyer in Goodyear, you may be able to dispute any allegations this party or their insurer makes against you. Your attorney may help you build an argument to show the party is fully responsible for your collision.

How to Prove Fault After a Truck Accident

You are responsible for the burden of proof in your trucking collision case. A truck accident attorney in Goodyear may help you gather evidence to show a party was responsible for your crash. To secure damages, you must show the following elements of negligence were present at the time of your collision:

Duty of Care: An at-fault party had a legal obligation to act in a cautious and reasonable manner toward you.
Breach of Duty of Care: This party violated their duty of care by acting recklessly or carelessly.
Causation: Because the party breached their duty of care, they caused your trucking collision.
Damages: You incurred quantifiable or subjective losses due to the party’s actions.

The legal team at Suzuki Law Offices can answer frequently asked questions and any others you have about how to prove negligence after a trucking crash. If you want to move forward with a claim against an at-fault party, we may be able to help you submit your request for damages. For more information, get in touch with us.

Truck Accident Damages

You may pursue economic and non-economic damages relating to a trucking crash. Economic damages may be provided for quantifiable losses, and non-economic compensation may be awarded based on subjective harm. Reasons why a judge or jury may give you economic or non-economic damages after a truck accident include:

Medical bills
Lost wages
Property damage
Pain and suffering

In addition to economic and non-economic compensation, you may be eligible for punitive damages. A judge or jury may award punitive compensation to deter an at-fault party from committing future acts of negligence. They may provide you with this compensation in conjunction with economic or non-economic damages.

Truck Accident Case Evidence

The evidence you gather for your truck accident case may help you compel a judge or jury to award 100% of the damages you request. There are many forms of proof you may use to support your request for compensation after a trucking crash. These include:

Accident scene photos and videos
Medical records
Pay stubs
Truck black box data
Truck company policies and procedures
Truck dashcam footage
Truck driver’s logs
Trucker’s personnel file

Your Phoenix catastrophic injury lawyer may review evidence relating to a catastrophic injury you suffered in a trucking crash. They may help you determine how to present this evidence to a judge or jury. Your lawyer may use your evidence to prepare an argument that helps you show an at-fault party should be required to award you the full damages you are requesting.

Truck Accident Comparative Negligence

According to ARS §12-2505, comparative negligence may apply to a personal injury case. Following a truck crash, it is in your best interests to show the other party involved in your collision is completely responsible for the incident. Otherwise, a judge or jury may reduce the damages you receive by your percentage of fault.

For example, a judge or jury may find you are 10% responsible for your trucking collision. If this occurs, you may receive 90% of the compensation you initially requested. This means you are 10% responsible for your accident-related losses.

Your attorney may help you build an argument designed to show a judge or jury that the defendant in your case should be held fully responsible for your losses. They may consider how the defendant may use comparative negligence to contest your request for compensation. From here, your attorney may work with you to find the best way to dispute the defendant’s claims and help you secure the most damages possible.
