What happens if you get hit by a truck?

If you get hit by a truck, you should seek medical attention right away. In fact, because trucks are so large compared to other vehicles on the road, your injuries may be severe. If you're a driver, you must report the accident to the police. Even if you're not a driver, it's important to call the police. Although the truck driver may face criminal charges, you may also have the right to file your own civil claim for financial compensation. Your right to collect compensation is based on the negligence laws that apply to truck accidents in your state.

Is Nevada a no-fault state for truck accidents?

No, Nevada is not a no-fault state for truck accidents. Rather, Nevada is an at-fault state for truck accidents. No matter your injuries, if the other driver caused them, they may owe you monetary compensation. Nevada's laws for truck accidents say that the person who causes the accident pays for the damages. Truck accidents often cause significant and severe injuries. Victims have the right to fair compensation for all of their injuries and losses.

What happens when a CDL (commercial) driver has an accident?

When a CDL driver has an accident, there may be different laws that apply to the investigation of the accident than apply to non-commercial drivers. Liability for a moving violation may result in suspension or termination of the driver's CDL endorsement even if they do not completely lose their driver's license. For example, most states have more strict drunk driving laws for commercial drivers than apply to non-commercial drivers. When a CDL driver has an accident, the victim may deserve compensation from the driver or from their employer.

What parties may be liable for a truck accident?

The truck driver and their employer may be liable for a truck accident. Even a vehicle manufacturer may be responsible for a truck accident in some cases. A driver's employer is often liable for the actions of their driver. In addition to liability because the driver is a representative of the company, the company itself has a duty to hire and employ only safe drivers. It's important to consider whether the company and its insurer are parties that may be liable for a truck accident. If they are liable, it's critical to include each party in your legal claim to maximize your compensation.

Will my accident case go to trial?

Very few truck accident cases go to trial. In fact, only about two percent of truck accident cases go to trial. In all of the other cases, the parties reach an agreement about how to resolve the case. If you’re hurt in a truck accident, you might find yourself worrying about getting grilled on the witnesses stand. But don’t worry. It’s very unlikely that will ever happen. One of the ways that the Adam S. Kutner's team advocates for you is by building the evidence in your case as strongly as possible. When you have strong evidence of your claim , the other side is more likely to agree to pay you without needing a trial. If they know that legal tactics aren’t going to work in the end, the responsible party is more likely to come to the table with a fair offer for compensation. Our attorneys work diligently until you have the compensation that you deserve.
