Types of Truck Accident Cases We Handle

Truck accidents can happen in many different ways, and the injuries caused can be devastating. At Lighthouse Law, we handle a wide variety of truck accident cases, including:

• Rear-End Collisions: Trucks often rear-end smaller vehicles due to long stopping distances or distracted driving. These accidents can cause serious injuries such as whiplash, back injuries, and head trauma.
• T-Bone and Side-Impact Collisions: Trucks often run red lights or fail to yield, leading to dangerous T-bone accidents, especially at intersections.
• Jackknife Accidents: When the trailer of a truck swings out and forms a “V” shape with the cab, it can lead to serious accidents, often involving multiple vehicles.
• Rollover Accidents: Trucks are at risk of rolling over, especially if they take a turn too fast, causing massive damage and often severe injuries to those involved.
• Cargo Spills and Load Shifts: If a truck’s cargo is improperly secured, it can spill onto the road, causing accidents and injuries. Improperly loaded trucks are a significant hazard to other motorists.
• Driver Fatigue: Truck drivers often work long hours, leading to driver fatigue and accidents. Fatigued drivers are much more likely to cause accidents due to delayed reaction times and impaired judgment.
• Driving Under the Influence: Truck drivers who are under the influence of alcohol or drugs put others at risk. We help hold trucking companies and drivers accountable for unsafe driving practices.

What to Do After a Truck Accident

If you’ve been involved in a truck accident, it’s important to take the right steps to protect your health and your case. Here’s what you should do:

1. Seek Medical Attention Immediately: Even if you don’t feel seriously injured, get checked by a doctor. Some injuries, like whiplash or internal trauma, may not appear right away but can be serious.
2. Document the Scene: Take photos of the accident scene, the truck, vehicle damage, and any visible injuries. Gather the contact information of the truck driver, witnesses, and the truck company’s information.
3. File a Police Report: Always call the police to report the accident, especially if injuries are involved. A police report is essential in determining who was at fault.
4. Contact Your Insurance Company: Notify your insurance company about the accident. Be careful what you say, as insurance companies may attempt to minimize your claim.
5. Call Lighthouse Law: Truck accident cases are often complex, involving multiple parties and intricate legal issues. Contact our experienced attorneys right away for guidance and to ensure your rights are protected.
