Brooklyn, NY Truck Accident Lawyer

Our country depends on commercial trucks for a lot of our essentials and other goods. Highways are no strangers to semi-trucks and trailers, and while most drivers go to extreme lengths to prevent accidents, they still happen. Drivers are often expected to work long shifts, driving hundreds of miles a day, sometimes without any breaks. Truck drivers can also engage in bad driving habits like everyone else, including distracted driving or driving while under the influence.

Regardless of how the accident happened, you have every legal right to seek compensation. All personal injury cases come with hurdles, but truck accidents make it harder to obtain a settlement on your own. Due to the violent nature of truck accidents, victims often suffer far more severe injuries. Paralysis, traumatic brain injuries, and wrongful death require greater compensation, and insurance companies are incentivized to limit pay.

The other issue that truck accidents present is the question of liability. In most accidents, the liable party is the driver and their insurance company. In a truck accident, however, liable parties may include the trucking company, maintenance providers, or even the parts manufacturers. Depending on the truck, the responsible party may even be a government entity. These parties often have a stronger legal team, so that’s why working with our Brooklyn truck accident lawyers can make all the difference!
