Truck Accident Attorney | Dinizulu Law Group, Ltd

Have you been involved in a semi-truck accident? Were you significantly injured as a part of that accident? Are you wondering how to determine the monetary value of your injuries?

Let’s start with a very important point: Semi-truck accidents are handled completely differently than passenger vehicle accidents. You may have commercial policies that apply to your case. Semi-truck policies are mandated and regulated by the federal government. The federal government requires that semi-truck policies carry an amount in the millions because they need larger minimum policies.

How do we come up with a total value for your case? We have several factors that we look at. We will look at total medical bills, lost wages, injury severity, loss of companionship, and pain and suffering. These can give us a clue as to what your total value may be, but you have to note that it is impossible to give you an exact amount until your case has been fully investigated.

A last note, don’t go for the quick settlement that the insurance company will try to offer you. They want to pay you off quickly because they don’t lose as much money that way. If you wait, others factors may come to light that can benefit you and get you the bigger settlement you deserve. You’ll want to have an experienced legal team on your side when facing a case like this. Watch the video to learn more.

Many different parties are responsible for securing cargo on a semi truck, and 7% of all serious semi truck accidents are caused by loose cargo. If you happen to be the person driving behind the semi who is hit with flying debris, you’re going to want to know who is responsible for the damage and injuries you incurred as a result of lack of adequate securement.

The initial shipping company is responsible for ensuring that all cargo is properly loaded into the semi truck following OSHA safety standards. They can’t take any shortcuts, or else they risk violating OSHA standards, which can have serious consequences for them. The trucking companies must also make sure that their drivers are properly trained in how to secure loads. The seller or manufacturer of the securement devices also holds responsibility for properly secured loads. If their device is faulty, then there is a chance that a load won’t be properly secured. The manufacturer of the cargo itself also holds responsibility. They need to make sure that all of the cargo is properly bundled before shipping.

In short, there are multiple companies that are responsible for secure loads in semi trucks. You need to know which party’s negligence led to the load not remaining secured. That’s where the help of a truck accident attorney comes in. Watch the video to learn more.
