Truck accidents usually involve serious injuries and death. For a victim who was seriously injured or an individual who lost their loved one because of a negligent act, they should contact a Truck Accident Lawyer in Annapolis as soon as possible. Medical needs of a surviving victim can last for years, and they should be compensated for the damages caused to their body and life.
Accidents that involve trucks can be very complicated because they could involve several parties. The truck driver, owner of the truck, trailer owner, mechanic, and even the maintenance of the roadway. Truck drivers must follow federal rules for the amount of time they are permitted to work each day. Some drivers and trucking companies do not follow the federal guidelines.
Serious Injuries
Serious injuries from an accident can include nerve or brain damage, broken bones, the loss of a limb or eyesight, and other devastating conditions that can lead to an individual being unable to work for an extended period. In some cases, a victim may never be able to return to work and will need to be compensated for the wages they lost and will lose. A spouse or children may also be able to receive compensation.
Wrongful Death
In a case where a victim passes away due to their injuries, surviving family members can file a wrongful death lawsuit against the negligent party. A Truck Accident Lawyer in Annapolis can guide surviving family members through the difficult process of holding the negligent parties accountable for their actions. The attorney will be sympathetic to the situation and understands the severity of the impact a loss can have on a family.
Paying An Attorney
A victim or family member will never have to pay an attorney any legal fees from their budget. Personal injury lawyers will only receive compensation for their work if they win the case. The attorney will discuss this during the free consultation and evaluation of the case.
If you or a loved one were involved in a trucking accident, it is important to contact an attorney as soon as possible. Valuable evidence can be lost or altered by the negligent party. Contact the Jaklitsch Law Group as soon as possible.
