We Accept All Types of Truck Accident Cases

Truck accidents, like car accidents, result from a slew of potential behaviors and conditions stemming from the driver, the truck, the road, and/or any combination of these factors. Negligence plays a central role in almost all collisions. We file personal injury claims and lawsuits based on this negligence and our clients’ severe injuries.

The greatest risk factors that cause truck accidents include:

• A careless or reckless driver behind the wheel

• Faulty truck component
• Poorly maintained truck
• Trailer not properly loaded
• Trailer overloaded
• Speeding or driving too fast for conditions
• Insufficient driver training
• Road rage
• Driving while intoxicated
• Reckless and aggressive driving
• Driving under the influence
• Driver fatigue

Whatever caused your truck crash, the legal team at Friedman & Simon, L.L.P. will thoroughly investigate and analyze all the facts and circumstances. Then we identify the responsible party so you can be compensated. Our experienced truck accident lawyers understand how these cases work and who is generally responsible for truck collisions and other incidents involving commercial trucks.

Identifying and Proving Who Is at Fault / Liable for Your Truck Accident Injuries

Proof of fault and liability serves as the cornerstone for your truck accident case. Your demand for compensation requires that these elements are well-documented, and it is part of our mission to do so. To secure financial compensation in a commercial truck accident, our personal injury attorneys need to show what happened and how a negligent truck driver or another party caused the crash.

To show negligence occurred, we need evidence to demonstrate:

Duty of Care: A number of parties can cause a truck accident. We will identify the party or parties who had a duty of care to keep you from harm. This could include a number of various parties, from the truck driver to the carrier or even the parts or truck manufacturer.

Causation and Fault: We will use evidence to show that this party or these parties failed to protect you from harm and that this failure caused the accident that resulted in your injuries.

Damages and Liability: Finally, we will illustrate how you sustained physical and/or emotional injuries, as well as financial damages.

When you trust Friedman & Simon, L.L.P. with your truck accident/motor vehicle accident case, you know your case is built on a thoughtfully constructed foundation. Our personal injury attorneys know how to develop a compelling case, navigate the trucking industry to secure key evidence, and hold the at-fault parties responsible for your economic and non-economic damages.

Determining the Damages and Amounts We Will Work to Recover

Truck accidents can devastate a person physically and financially. They bring on severe physical injuries that cost a great deal to treat. If you have been forced to take off work due to your injuries, the costs become especially difficult to bear.

We will champion your right to recover all the damages you deserve. This might include:

• Medical treatment, current and future
• Surgery
• Ambulance transport
• Physical therapy
• Lost income
• Diminished future potential earnings
• Diminished quality of life
• Replacement services
• Emotional distress
• Pain and suffering
• Diminished quality of life

If a family member lost his or her life in a truck accident, we will also pursue a wrongful death action. If the tragic loss of a loved one in a Long Island truck accident is what has led you to this page, we are very sorry to hear about your loss and send our condolences. We know no amount of money will ever make up for losing your loved one, but we can help you pay their medical costs, cover their lost income, and ease other financial stresses.

Hopefully, our work to hold the at-fault parties accountable, usually the at-fault driver and their employer, will give you a sense that justice is being sought on behalf of your departed loved one. We are fully dedicated to winning the best possible outcome for you and in doing so, we hope we will win some measure of justice for your departed loved one.

Insurance Claim or Personal Injury Lawsuit—We Will See You Through to the End

Once we have determined your damages, we will begin the process of negotiating with the liable party’s insurer. If the insurer refuses to offer an appropriate amount or denies your claim, depending upon the unique circumstances of your case, we will file a lawsuit in a civil court on your behalf.

Your Time for Taking Legal Action on Your Truck Accident is Limited

You should be aware that the state of New York imposes a statute of limitations for personal injury cases. This means you have a set amount of time from the date of your accident to file a case against the at-fault and liable party. Additionally, there are other case-related deadlines associated with a truck accident case.

A Long Island truck accident lawyer will manage your case, so you need not worry about deadlines and other administrative details. The sooner you begin the process, the greater our opportunity to build the strongest case possible for you. The availability of witnesses for statements and physical evidence, such as video surveillance, for example, can change over time. Given these time considerations, we urge you to call us as soon as possible to protect your rights.
