Truck accidents are among the most devastating of all traffic wrecks, especially for occupants of passenger cars tangling with large commercial trucks. The statistics are not on your side when it comes to such collisions, with your risk of injury or death as high as 98 percent, according to statistics published by the U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. D.O.T). The Okeechobee truck accident lawyers at Steinger, Greene & Feiner understand this better than most. We routinely deal with the aftermath of truck accidents for our clients, who often sustain serious or catastrophic injuries or the loss of a loved one. As a highly experienced legal team, we have seen firsthand the physical, emotional, and financial devastation that can result. That is what spurs us to persistent and dedicated action in helping you win your truck accident case and getting you every dollar in damages that you deserve.
Trucking Accident Statistics
The U.S. Department of Transportation estimates that about 500,000 truck accidents take place across the nation every year. These accidents involve trucks of all kinds, from personal pickup trucks to commercial tankers, dump trucks, big rigs, and 18-wheelers. Due to their enormous size, weight, and length, big commercial trucks are more difficult to stop at highway speeds, often have several blind spots, and can act like lethal weapons when colliding with cars, SUVs, motorcycles, bicycles, and pedestrians. In 2008, more than 3,700 truck accidents caused the deaths of more than 4,200 Americans.
Your Potential Damages in an Okeechobee Truck Accident Claim
If you are injured in a truck accident caused by the negligent actions or inactions of another, such as truck driver, trucking company, truck or component vehicle parts manufacturer, you have a right to pursue monetary compensation for the damages connected with your injuries. Those damages include both your past and future medical expenses necessitated by the incident, your lost income and predicted future lost income or earning capacity, as well as your pain, suffering, emotional distress, disfigurement, permanent disability, and similar non-economic losses.
Relentless Legal Representation for Okeechobee Injury Victims
A personal injury can occur in a variety of ways, but almost all have the same results in common. Suddenly, your life is disrupted and possibly jeopardized physically, emotionally, and financially by an accident or incident which could have been prevented.
How an Okeechobee Truck Accident Lawyer Can Assist
Truck accident cases can be complex due to the fact that large trucking companies often have their own legal teams devoted to protecting the interests of the company. They are also subject to both state and federal regulations. Evidence in a truck accident must be promptly and thoroughly investigated and preserved to help establish liability. In the aftermath of injuries, you will want a professional team on your side taking care of all technical and legal details to ensure that you have the best chance to win your case and recover damages that reflect the full extent of your losses. That is our primary goal at Steinger, Greene & Feiner.
