I’ve been in a trucking accident. What should I do now?
Your first steps after getting into a trucking accident are critical for your health and safety, and the validity of a legal claim. Your first step should be to call 911 to notify the authorities that an accident has taken place and to receive medical attention. Even if your injuries do not appear severe, seek medical attention. Some injuries seem minor or nonexistent immediately following an accident, but show up hours, days, or weeks later.
While on the scene, and while the events are fresh in your mind, document the accident by taking pictures or videos, if possible, and writing down what happened. If you are unable to take pictures of the accident, you can ask that a witness take pictures for you. The police will also photograph the scene and take statements; however, by also taking pictures yourself, you ensure that the important elements are documented.
After you have received medical attention, speak with a truck accident lawyer to discuss whether you have a legal claim against the other driver.
How much does a truck accident attorney cost?
Most truck accident attorneys in Nevada handle commercial truck accident cases on a contingency fee basis. They usually don’t charge legal fees up front, and do not receive payment unless you win the lawsuit and get paid. If you win, your truck accident lawyer will receive a percentage of the amount you recover, based on the contingency fee agreement. Structuring legal fees in this way helps make sure that you do not undergo further financial hardship during the lawsuit.
What kind of lawsuit can I bring against the other driver in a commercial truck accident?
The type of lawsuit you can bring after a trucking accident depends on what led to the crash. Some common types of lawsuits (“causes of action”) that arise after a commercial truck accident are personal injury and product liability. Generally, personal injury lawsuits are brought when the other driver or the trucking company owed you a duty of care, they failed to meet the obligation, and that failure caused the accident and your injury. Product liability typically includes cases where the manufacturer of a truck or part of the truck made a mistake in making the part, and, while the part was used correctly, it malfunctioned, causing an accident and your injuries.
