Why are truck accident cases different from car accident cases?+
Truck accident cases are different because truck drivers and trucking companies must follow federal safety rules: hours-of-service limits, drug testing, vehicle inspections, and driver training. When a trucking company breaks those rules, Peretz Law Firm can prove the violation and build a stronger, often larger, case than a typical car accident claim.
Who is responsible for a truck accident, the driver or the company?+
Usually both. Liability for a truck accident can fall on the driver, the trucking company, the truck's owner, the company that loaded the cargo, or the maintenance shop. Peretz Law Firm investigates every party that may owe you money.
The trucking company sent someone to my hospital room. What should I do?+
Do not sign anything and do not give a recorded statement. Tell them to contact your lawyer, then call Peretz Law Firm right away. Trucking companies send representatives early specifically to limit what they pay you.
How much is a truck accident case worth?+
Truck accident cases are usually worth more than car accident cases because the injuries tend to be more severe and the insurance policies are larger, often $1 million or more. The exact value of your case depends on your injuries, your treatment, and your lost income.
