Philadelphia Truck Accident Lawyer

Top Rated Philadelphia Truck Accident Lawyer

Truck accidents can be one of the most dangerous events that can happen on the road. Tractor trailers can weigh up to 80,000 pounds. All of this weight makes any collision with a semi-truck a serious event. Being several times the size and weight of even the largest SUVs on the road, tractor trailers push other cars out of their way, causing serious damage to the other vehicles and terrible injuries to whoever is unfortunate enough to be in them.

Truck Accidents Are Not Uncommon

According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), there were an estimated 273,000 accidents involved trucks weighing over 10,000 pounds in 2011. Out of these, an estimated 60,000 resulted in an injury, and 3,341 proved to be fatal.

Despite what trucking advocacy groups say to the contrary, these are not low numbers. On average, more than 9 people were killed every day in a truck accident on the roads of the United States. An additional 164 people were hurt on a daily basis.

Truck accidents are not merely anomalies that we can shrug off. They are a common part of our daily lives, and when they directly impact our own life, we need to take action to ensure that those who are responsible pay amends to the victims who were hurt.

The Role of Insurance Companies in Truck Accidents

If you are involved in a truck accident in Philadelphia and have insurance, you probably have the feeling that everything should be covered. However, all insurance companies are for-profit businesses whose success depends on paying as few claims as possible. We will not let you get pushed around by any insurance company.

Because he has over 30 years experience exclusively representing accident victims, Top Rated Philadelphia injury attorney, Gary Brod knows how to get the insurance companies to listen, take your truck accident case seriously and get the insurance company(s) to pay you what you deserve.

How Truck Accident Lawsuits Work

By investigating the accident, the attorneys at the Brod Law Firm determine who was ultimately at fault. This could either be the driver of the truck that hit you, because of his or her inattention and negligence, the trucking company, for their negligent hiring or training or vehicle maintenance, or even the truck manufacturer, for their faulty product.

Most truck accidents happen because someone was negligent. For these negligence-based personal injury lawsuits to succeed, you will need to show four things:

1. Someone else had a responsibility to keep you safe, or to avoid harming you,
2. They did not uphold that responsibility,
3. Their failure to uphold that responsibility caused your injuries, and
4. You were, in fact, hurt.

A common factor in trucking accidents is an overworked or fatigued driver. Truck drivers are behind the wheel for a living and are often paid based on how quickly they move cargo from point A to point B. Because of this, truck drivers often shirk on their sleeping schedule so they can spend more time on the road. Unfortunately, this common practice puts other drivers at risk. Therefore, evidence that the driver of the truck that hurt you was fatigued can be used to show that they did not uphold their responsibility to other drivers to keep them safe.

Some truck accidents are unfortunately also wrongful death claims. If one of your loved ones was involved in a truck accident and did not make it through their injuries, they would be unable file a lawsuit against anyone. Under Pennsylvania law, their death allows you, as someone closely related to the deceased, to file the lawsuit for them and hold accountable those who were responsible.

Finally, some truck accident lawsuits are based on a products liability claim. If the truck accident happened because of a defective or poorly designed aspect on the truck – like defective brakes, or if a tire blew out and caused the truck driver to lose control – a products liability lawsuit would target the company that was behind the part that failed.
