How Our Huber Heights Truck Accident Lawyers Pursue Compensation for Your Damages

As our team helps you build your compensation claim, we will ensure that all of your recoverable damages, from the moment of the accident to the present and including anticipated future needs, are accounted for. Generally, damages from an accident with a large truck can include:

• Medical expenses, such as in-hospital care and treatment, surgery, medications, rehab, or physical therapy
• Costs of future medical treatment, including aftercare, additional surgeries, or hospital stays
• Adaptations to your home or car to accommodate emerging post-accident needs
• Property damage repair or replacement, including personal property, such as items you had in the vehicle at the time of the accident
• Loss of income during your recovery
• Loss of future earnings and employment benefits due to your injuries
• Pain and suffering associated with your injuries
• Mental anguish from the trauma of the accident

Discuss your losses with one of our Huber Heights truck accident attorneys at The Fitch Law Firm LLC. We will help you identify all of the damages you have sustained and file a claim with the liable party or parties’ insurance company.

Gathering Evidence to Identify All Liable Parties in Commercial Truck Accidents

Before we can file a compensation claim, we must investigate the incident to identify who is at fault and who is liable for your damages. We may use the following to gather evidence that supports your claim:

• Eyewitness statements
• CCTV footage
• Police reports
• Medical records
• Accident reconstruction specialists

These and other sources of information can help us prove the four elements of negligence:

• The at-fault party had a duty to act as a reasonable person would to prevent harm.
• The at-fault party breached that duty of care by acting negligently—perhaps the truck driver was speeding, or the truck parts manufacturer provided a defective part.
• The breach caused the accident in which you were injured.
• Your injuries caused you to sustain financial losses.

This is where an accident involving a commercial truck and a passenger vehicle differs from other types of accidents. In a truck accident, multiple parties may be potentially liable, and it is our job to help determine where the responsibility lies. Those who might be liable for your accident include:

• The truck driver, who may have been speeding or driving while impaired
• The truck owner, who may have neglected to properly maintain the truck
• The trucking company, which may not have performed due diligence in their hiring of drivers
• The truck or truck parts manufacturers that might have produced defective parts or poor workmanship
• The cargo loaders, who may not have loaded the cargo properly

These and other individuals or entities could be financially responsible for your losses. 

What to Do if Truck Accident Settlement Negotiations Fail

As you and your attorney plan out your case, it is vital to include the what-ifs. Most personal injury claims are settled through negotiation, but what if those negotiations fail? Ohio Revised Code Section 2305.10 generally allows you two years from the date of the accident to begin legal action against the at-fault party. 

If you do not file a personal injury lawsuit before the end of that two-year period, you may not be able to seek justice through the courts. There are exceptions to the rule. Speak with one of our personal injury attorneys to learn how the statute of limitations applies to your case.

Every year in Ohio, there are thousands of crashes involving large trucks and buses, according to the crash statistics of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). Our law firm has spent more than 30 years fighting for truck accident victims. Our experience can make a difference in your future.
