What to Do When Hazardous Materials Spill During a Truck Crash

Tanker trucks transport the majority of U.S. shipments: they haul gasoline, diesel, specialty chemicals, food grade and dry bulk on a daily basis. With the increasing transportation of goods, the number of tanker truck accidents on our roads has also been on the rise. Tankers frequently haul hazardous and highly flammable materials, and a crash with these large, precarious vehicles could mean enduring serious burns, smoke inhalation injuries, or even death. Road surfaces can become extremely unsafe, air quality can be compromised, and fires and explosions can result from sudden hazardous waste disturbances.

If you or a loved one have been in a truck crash involving a hazardous materials spill, there may be multiple responsible parties, and the crash may require in-depth investigations. You will need a truck accident lawyer with a reputation, […]

What Are the Causes of Jackknife Truck Accidents?

Can You Avoid a Jackknife Truck Accident?

A jackknife accident is exclusive to involving semi-trucks and tractor-trailers, and can range from creating minor or major damages; often, the outcome of these accidents is significant and devastating.

You probably have never heard about the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, known as the FMCSA. The FMCSA is a federal agency responsible for overseeing commercial motor vehicles, generally large trucks and buses, in the United States.

Types of Injuries Suffered in a Trucking Accident

How Serious Is a Truck Accident?

Commercial trucks are at a higher risk of causing or being involved in serious accidents, particularly because of their overwhelming size on the road, their weight, and due to truck drivers managing their vehicles on the road.

Truck crashes often create car-on-car wrecks, and many fatal crashes, as well. You or your loved one may be entitled to financial compensation for the damages you sustained; however, it is in your best interest to hire a truck accident lawyer to fight the insurance company on your behalf.

How to File a Truck Accident Lawsuit

Every time we get in our car, whether we’re going to work, to pick up the kids, to dinner, or anything in between, we expect to arrive safely at our destination. Most of the time, this is exactly what happens. But the devastating truth is that car accidents are a very real risk any time you’re on the road.

While all accidents are terrifying, accidents involving trucks and other commercial motor vehicles are particularly dangerous. A truck accident is likely to cause far more damage and more serious injuries than most other kinds of motor vehicle accidents, given the size and weight of something like a semi-truck. It’s not uncommon for victims to endure something as serious as a traumatic brain injury.

How Long Could My Truck Accident Case Take to Settle?

Does It Take a Long Time For a Truck Accident Claim to Reach a Settlement?

If you are involved in a truck accident, compensation for your settlement depends on many factors. In some cases, the truck accident claim can be settled within a few months and in others, it can take a few years before it reaches a conclusion. Truck accident claims involve commercial vehicles, which means there are more parties involved. Additionally, negotiations may fail to achieve adequate funds for victims, and the pursuit of a personal injury claim or wrongful death lawsuit is the proper course of action.

Unfortunately, it’s difficult to say how long a truck accident case can take to settle — anywhere from a few months to a few years. It usually depends on the willingness of all parties involved to reach a settlement and how complex the claim is. […]
