New York City Truck Accident Attorney
Truck accidents can cause permanent and catastrophic injuries ranging
from broken bones and fractures to severe spinal cord injury and brain
injury resulting in permanent disability and impairment. Significant
lost time from work and interference with daily activities and home life
often results. Our
Truck Accident Attorneys cannot recover the lost time or physical injuries but can help you get adequately compensated for the pain & suffering.
Commercial trucks are governed by
New York State law and by specific
Federal laws. State and Federal laws that apply to trucks
require them
to carry higher insurance amounts with the minimum being $750,000.00. Depending on the weight of the
vehicle and the license class, the minimum amount may be higher. The
reason trucks must have more insurance is because they can cause more damage. Injuries from truck accidents are
often much more severe than from a similar incident involving two equal
size automobiles.
Lawsuits brought to recover compensation for pain and suffering and lost
income resulting from truck accidents my require sophisticated accident
reconstruction modeling, economic analysis of lost income and medical evaluation of injuries.
Often times, there are complex issues concerning the amount of insurance
available to compensate seriously injured victims. The tractor of an 18 wheeler may be owned by one person or
company and the trailer of the same 18 wheel truck may be owned by
another, while the driver is self employed or an
employee of a different trucking company altogether.
Legal Counsel for Truck Accident Victims in NYC
Whether you are a
driver, passenger or pedestrian, if you are injured in
a truck accident, it is very important to obtain legal counsel as soon
as possible. One reason for this is that you only have 30 days after the accident to file for medical
benefits under the "No Fault" law. Also, you should be aware that "No
Fault" does not mean that you receive compensation for your injuries no matter who is at fault for the accident. Instead,
it means that you may receive medical and some lost income benefits from
your own insurance company, or if you are an injured pedestrian, from the truck's insurance company.
