Hitting Them Head On.

Relentless in the battle against trucking accidents, Bridgewater Law Group emerges as staunch advocates against formidable insurance lawyers. Trucking companies bear the responsibility of ensuring the safety of fellow drivers on the highway. When they falter in this duty, accountability is paramount, and as the injured party, you may have a rightful claim to compensation.
Tackling truck accident lawsuits is no easy task, given the intricate landscape of state and federal laws governing commercial vehicles. The parties at fault are often driven to strongly oppose claims to evade financial responsibility. In the face of these complexities, Bridgewater Law Group steps up, prepared to confront the challenges head-on and fight resolutely on your behalf.

Getting to the bottom of it: Who is at fault?

Determining liability in truck accidents is a multifaceted process that involves a thorough investigation into the factors contributing to the incident. Several key elements are considered in this evaluation:

Driver's Actions:

Analyzing the actions of the truck driver is crucial. This includes assessing whether they were following traffic laws, adhering to speed limits, and practicing safe driving habits. Violations such as reckless driving or driving under the influence can significantly impact liability.

Vehicle Maintenance:

The condition of the truck itself is examined. Regular maintenance records are reviewed to ensure that the truck was in proper working order at the time of the accident. Mechanical failures or malfunctions may indicate liability on the part of the trucking company.

Cargo Loading:

If the accident is related to improper loading or securing of cargo, liability may fall on the party responsible for these tasks. Ensuring that the cargo is loaded and secured according to regulations is essential to prevent accidents.

Employer Responsibility:

Trucking companies can be held liable for the actions of their employees. If the driver was operating within the scope of their employment at the time of the accident, the company may share liability.

Regulatory Compliance:

Compliance with state and federal regulations governing the trucking industry is critical. Violations of these regulations can contribute to liability, making it essential to assess whether the trucking company and driver were in adherence.

Witness Testimonies and Evidence:

Eyewitness accounts and available evidence, such as surveillance footage or accident reconstruction reports, play a vital role in determining liability. These sources help establish a clearer picture of the events leading to the accident.

Driver's History:

The driver’s personal and professional history is examined, including their driving record and any previous incidents. A history of negligence or violations may impact liability.

Bridgewater Law Group thoroughly investigates these factors, to help determine who’s liable in truck accidents while guiding the legal process and helping victims seek appropriate compensation for damages. We face these powerful forces head on and are committed to conducting exhaustive investigations to ensure justice is served in such cases.

Truck Accident Recovery:

Victims of truck accidents may be entitled to various forms of recovery, depending on the specific circumstances of the incident. Here are some potential aspects of recovery:

Medical Expenses:

Victims can seek compensation for all medical costs related to injuries sustained in the accident. This includes hospitalization, surgery, medication, rehabilitation, and any future medical expenses directly attributable to the accident.

Lost Wages:

If the victim is unable to work due to injuries sustained in the truck accident, they may be entitled to compensation for lost wages. This includes both current and future income that the victim would have earned if not for the injuries.

Property Damage:

Compensation may be sought for the repair or replacement of damaged property, such as the victim’s vehicle and personal belongings.

Pain and Suffering:

Non-economic damages, such as physical pain, emotional distress, and the overall impact on the victim’s quality of life, may be considered for compensation.

Wrongful Death Damages:

In cases where the truck accident results in the death of the victim, surviving family members may be eligible for wrongful death damages. This can include funeral expenses, loss of financial support, and compensation for the emotional impact of the loss.

Punitive Damages:

In cases of extreme negligence or intentional misconduct by the at-fault party, punitive damages may be awarded. These are intended to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar behavior in the future.
