Why Do You Need a Lowell Trucking Accident Lawyer?

Commercial truck accident claims are challenging, but a skilled Lowell trucking accident lawyer can get involved early and handle every aspect of the case. Using their resources, they can:

• Obtain any evidence needed to prove liability, including the truck’s “black box” data, the hours of service data for the driver, truck company and driver safety records, video or photo surveillance of the incident, statements from eyewitnesses, and more.
• Work with economic and medical experts to gather all medical records, proof of lost income, and proof of client out-of-pocket expenses.
• Negotiate vigorously with every party involved, including aggressive insurance carriers and the trucking company.
• Fully prepare to take the case to trial, if necessary to ensure their client is treated fairly.

Who Can Be Held Liable in a Truck Accident Case?

There may be various parties that could be held liable in the aftermath of the truck accident. Often, attorneys discover that these incidents are caused by the careless or negligent actions of a truck driver or trucking company or even a defective truck part. This can include:

• Truck drivers are responsible for operating the vehicle safely. Unfortunately, we regularly discover that large truck crashes are caused by drivers:
  • Operating too fast for conditions
  • Operating while impaired by alcohol or drugs
  • Failing to abide by FMCSA hours of service regulations
  • Disobeying traffic laws pertaining to these vehicles
  • Operating a truck recklessly
  • Improperly securing the cargo
• Truck companies are responsible for ensuring the safe operation of all vehicles in their fleet. This includes:
  • Conducting proper background checks on all drivers
  • Ensuring all vehicles are properly inspected and maintained
  • Properly investigating any incidents of unsafe driving
  • Not overloading the trucks
• Truck part manufacturers could be held liable in the event they supply poorly designed items or parts damaged during the manufacturing process.
