Radcliff Truck Accident Lawyer

Several different parties could be responsible for your accident. At Meagher Injury Lawyers, we carefully review all facts and witness testimony to uncover the source of the collision. We can then sue the at-fault parties for your injuries and pain.

Some possible responsible parties include:

• The truck driver for driving negligently or recklessly.
• The truck driver’s employer is liable under Kentucky’s vicarious liability law.
• The truck owner, if this is a different party than the employer.
• A mechanic who did shoddy work on the truck and caused it to crash.
• The company responsible for loading the cargo into the truck if unbalanced cargo is to blame.
• The truck manufacturer or a manufacturer of a defective component part.

Because so many parties are potential defendants, we must perform an investigation. Some of the information we need will be in the hands of the trucking company, like electronic logs. Other information we might find by interviewing witnesses and visiting the scene of a crash. The more time you give your legal team to pull together a case, the better.

Generally, these accidents cause more serious injuries than car accidents. The size of the truck is one reason. There is more weight smashing against a passenger vehicle on the road.

It’s very possible one can suffer from serious injuries in a truck accident like:

• Crush injuries
• Fractures
• Internal organ injuries
• Back injuries
• Paralysis
• Traumatic brain injuries

Some of the accidents result in permanent disabilities. A victim will have continuing medical expenses which could bankrupt them, especially since it will be difficult to work.

As part of a fair settlement, you should receive compensation for:

• Medical bills, past and future
• Lost income or wages, past and future
• Pain and suffering, past and future
• Property damage (like damage to your car)
• Emotional distress and mental anguish
• Other financial losses, like rental car costs
