40 Years Of Helping Victims Of Truck Accidents
Commercial vehicle accidents are complex and often complex. Accidents with a semi-truck usually involve multiple parties. We’ve helped victims navigate these issues throughout Pennsylvania. These incidents cause medical and legal difficulties for everyone involved — drivers, passengers, and even pedestrians. Especially when you are seriously injured, you face immediate problems that can sometimes feel overwhelming.
In these circumstances, it is important to engage knowledgeable legal help as soon as possible to investigate exactly what caused the incident or crash, everything that happened, and who was at fault.
Trucking Accidents Bring Major Issues
Truck accidents mean not only the driver is involved but also potentially the company that employs them and their insurance. These accidents can also lead to major injuries for those in the other vehicle. Under Pennsylvania law, the driver who was at fault for injuring you is responsible to pay compensation for:
- Pain, suffering and inconvenience
- Loss of life’s pleasures
- Permanent disfigurement
- Your distress and any interference with your family relationships
- A loss of wages and your future earning ability because of the injury
- Any other costs that were a direct result of your injury
At John A. Caputo & Associates, P.C., in Pittsburgh, we have decades of experience in these cases and will examine the situation thoroughly to determine the most effective approach for your particular case. See some verdicts and settlements we have obtained for injured clients.
Truck Crashes In Pennsylvania
The weight and force of a truck, especially when moving at high speed, create a tremendous impact in a collision with a smaller vehicle. Severe vehicle damage and serious personal injuries, even fatalities, are almost inevitable. These events often lead to high monetary judgments against trucking companies. Trucking companies often rely on a team of lawyers they keep on retainer to fight these cases. When you are injured in a crash involving a truck, you need a lawyer who will stand up just as forcefully for your interests.
