Your Truck Accident Could Qualify You for Compensation

A truck accident can leave you facing severe injuries, mounting medical bills, lost income, and uncertainty about what comes next. We understand how disruptive these collisions are and how difficult it can feel to take on trucking companies and their insurers while trying to recover physically and emotionally. Our lawyers fight aggressively to pursue the compensation and accountability you deserve after a serious crash. One of the first steps we take is identifying everyone legally responsible for your accident. Truck accident cases are often more complex than standard car accident claims because multiple parties may share liability. Depending on the circumstances, liable parties may include:
  • The truck driver
  • The trucking company
  • The shipper or cargo loading company
  • A truck broker
  • A maintenance or repair contractor
  • A road maintenance contractor
  • A truck or parts manufacturer
  • Multiple parties acting together
In some cases, a trucking company may be legally responsible for a crash even when the driver was not solely at fault.  Truck accidents happen for many reasons, and our investigation is designed to uncover exactly what caused the collision. Common causes include: 
  • Distracted driving
  • Fatigue
  • Speeding
  • Impaired driving
  • Maintenance failures
  • Defective truck parts
  • Improperly loaded cargo
  • Hours-of-service violations
  • Inadequate driver training
Most trucking companies and commercial entities carry substantial insurance coverage and are backed by aggressive insurance representatives and defense teams. Insurance adjusters may sound concerned about your condition, but their priority is protecting the company’s financial interests and limiting payouts whenever possible. Statements made early in the process are sometimes used later to minimize or challenge injury claims.  Our lawyers communicate with the insurance company on your behalf and build evidence-based claims designed to pursue maximum monetary recovery under New York law. Depending on the severity of your injuries and losses, compensation may include damages for:

Economic Damages

  • Medical expenses 
  • Lost wages
  • Reduced earning capacity
  • Vehicle repair or replacement costs
  • Other accident-related financial losses

Non-Economic Damages

  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress associated with your injuries
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Disability or long-term impairment
  • Loss of consortium (These are the special types of damage, recognized by law, that a person experiences when their spouse is severely injured or succumbs to their accident injuries and is a wrongful death victim.) 
If you lost a loved one in a fatal truck accident, we are truly sorry for your loss. Representing surviving families is a responsibility we take very seriously. A wrongful death claim may seek compensation for funeral expenses, loss of financial support, loss of household contributions, and the loss of companionship and guidance your loved one provided. It is important to act quickly after a truck accident. Evidence such as electronic logging data, maintenance records, surveillance footage, and witness testimony can become harder to obtain over time. Early action also allows our legal team to protect your right to pursue compensation before important legal deadlines expire.  Call for a free consultation with our lawyers at Friedman & Simon, L.L.P. to learn more about your legal options and the next steps available to you.
