If you were harmed in a trucking wreck, you may be facing a difficult recovery involving doctors’ appointments, surgeries, hospital stays, physical therapy, and rehabilitation. You might need to take an unpaid leave of absence from your job to tend to your injuries, which could leave you with no means to pay for your medical bills and other expenses stemming from the crash.
Fortunately, our determined legal team at Latham & Martin knows how to help. We could help you seek financial compensation in a civil lawsuit against the negligent truck driver, their trucking company employer, and any other potentially responsible parties. Our truck accident attorneys are ready to answer all your questions and give your case the personalized attention it deserves.
Whenever one vehicle strikes another vehicle on its side, the occupants of the struck vehicle are at risk of serious injury. This is because the sides of a vehicle offer less protection to occupants from the impact of another vehicle than the rear or front. When a large commercial truck strikes another vehicle on the side, the likelihood of the smaller vehicle’s occupants suffering devastating harm increases substantially.
The types of catastrophic harm that can occur in a Richmond side-impact trucking wreck include:
Our diligent local legal team could fight aggressively for a full damages award that fairly represents the true value of what you lost in the truck accident.
Sadly, some trucking collisions result in fatalities. Our compassionate lawyers could work closely with the surviving family members of a deceased loved one to get them the justice and accountability they deserve in a wrongful death lawsuit.
Crashes involving the sides of vehicles can occur in two different ways.
A T-bone trucking collision happens when the front of a truck rams directly into the side of another vehicle. These crashes typically occur at intersections when a driver engages in negligent driving behavior, such as running through a stop sign or red light and hitting another vehicle that had the right of way. Truckers who drive distracted, drunk, fatigued, or so fast that they lose control of their vehicle can also cause T-bone crashes.
Sideswipes happen when the side of a truck hits the side of another vehicle. These accidents usually involve two vehicles traveling next to each other in adjacent lanes, going the same or opposite directions. They frequently happen when a truck driver attempts to change lanes or pass another vehicle without checking their blind spots. These crashes can also occur when truckers are distracted, tired, drunk, or driving aggressively.
Our seasoned Richmond attorneys could use our skills and knowledge to carefully investigate the side-impact wreck to determine what caused it.
