What to Do After a Truck Accident?
(443) 275-6345
If you’ve been in an accident involving a semi truck driver, your safety and injuries sustained are the first priority. If you are able, check yourself and your surroundings to make sure you and others are safe from further danger.
1. Call 911
It is crucial to inform authorities about the semi truck accident, so the officers can fill out the proper police report of the accident. This will be a key piece of evidence in your personal injury case and can help you receive a fair settlement.
2. Document the accident
If possible, take photos of the accident to have evidence of the damage, serious injuries, and other details that could prove fault or truck driver negligence – such as fatigued driving. The opportunity may not exist later and these details and photographic evidence will help enormously with the eventual success of your personal injury claim.
3. Seek medical attention
Even if you do not feel any pain, seek medical attention. A slight discomfort you may be feeling immediately after the accident could be a deeper and more serious health issue. If you do not seek the opinion of a medical professional right way, and follow their advice, it can make your personal injury lawsuit less likely to succeed.
How Your Semi Truck Accident Case Works at Dubo Law
TOP SEMI TRUCK ACCIDENT LAWYER
Unlike other truck accident attorneys in Maryland, when you work with Dubo Law, you can know that your case is always a priority – because we limit the number of car accident and truck accident cases we take on. That way every client gets our best.
Whether your case involves minor injuries or catastrophic injuries, you deserve a fair settlement and full recovery. Dubo Law can help you win lost wages, medical bills, and any pain and suffering damages. Here’s how your trucking accidents with tractor trailers work:
Goal #1: Determining Fault In Accidents Involving Semi Trucks
We will carefully review the details of the crash and determine all the possible parties that could potentially be held liable for the trucking accident. There are multiple options, and the negligent parties will depend on the details of your case. Here are common ones:
- The semi truck driver,
- The truck company who employ the driver,
- The company that owns the semi trucks,
- The company that loads the commercial vehicle,
- The company that hires the trucking companies to deliver the goods, and
- The commercial trucks manufacturer and maintenance team.
Goal #2: Prove Fault Of The Trucking Companies And/Or Truck Drivers Through Evidence
Our goal is to hold all the parties accountable so you can recover all the compensation you deserve. We will thoroughly investigate all the evidence, including:
- The semi truck driver logs,
- The load manifest,
- The semi truck’s computer and GPS recording (the black box),
- The truck driver’s toxicology report,
- The truck’s maintenance record,
- Common evidence with vehicle accidents – accident scene photos, police reports, and passenger vehicle damage.
- Locating and talking with witnesses to the accident involving truck drivers.
Goal #3: Deal With Insurance Company On Your Behalf To Maximize Your Compensation
We will also deal with the insurance company, which can be very frustrating at the best of times – let alone right after an accident with semi truck drivers. The insurance company will do whatever they can to devalue or deny your insurance claim.
When you choose Dubo Law, you get proven Maryland truck accident lawyers on your side to aggressively negotiate for the compensation you deserve and win the challenging disputes with any big insurance company.
Experts At Semi Truck Accidents & Personal Injury Cases
CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
“I cannot say enough about how Dubo Law handled my case. Neil and Jordan kept me informed the entire time and when I needed to make a decision about whether to settle or go to Court, Neil let ME make the decision. He gave me all the information with no pressure and, in the end, negotiated a great settlement that I was really thrilled with. Highly recommended and would refer Dubo Law to anyone without hesitation.”
Vicarious Liability Doctrine
Vicarious Liability Doctrine is also known as ‘indirect’ liability and it applies in Maryland. It imposes responsibility upon one person for the failure of another, with whom the person has a special relationship. In the case of a semi truck accident, the employer (ex: trucking company) is charged with legal responsibility for the employee’s (ex: truck drivers) negligence because the employee is held to be an agent of the employer.
In simple terms, the trucking company can be held responsible for collisions because the employees were careless or the company is negligent in its obligations or policies. The top Maryland truck accident lawyers will know exactly how to apply this to your case. That’s what you get at Dubo Law.
Types of Compensation After a Semi Truck Accident in Maryland
If you have a viable case, some of the most experienced Maryland truck accident attorneys in the state will pursue compensation for a variety of damages caused to you. Those potential damages include:
Economic Damages
Economic damages are meant to compensate you as the claimant for financial losses. That includes past and future medical expenses, such as medical bills, durable medical equipment, prescription medication, or physical therapy. Past and future lost income includes lost wages from missed work and the difference between pre-accident and post-accident income if injuries reduce your capacity to work.
Non-Economic Damages
These are more subjective losses and include pain and suffering as a form of emotional, mental, and physical distress and loss of consortium, which is compensation to your family for the loss of your companionship and your services to the family. Non-economic damages may sometimes also apply to the loss of a loved one in fatal accidents.
Property Damage
You may also be entitled to claim compensation for any property damage, such as the cost of the repair or the replacement of your damaged car.
Common Causes of Truck Accidents
in Maryland
Commercial trucks and tractor trailers are large and complicated machines that are not so easy to control. In addition, truck drivers are sometimes pushed to their limits, and consequently, fatal accidents can happen. Some of the most common causes of truck accidents are:
- Driving under the influence – Drunk or drugged drivers pose a serious threat on the road. Drivers may behave erratically while operating the vehicle. Alcohol or drugs impair the driver’s reaction times and decision-making abilities.
- Speeding – exceeding the speed limit to complete the work quickly has become a common practice among truck drivers. Unfortunately, a speeding truck is very difficult to stop, so the consequences to other drivers may be fatal.
- Drowsy driving – Operating a vehicle while exhausted can have a number of issues. Suppose a company fails to keep track of the driver’s working hours or deliberately encourages the driver to work overtime. In that case, they are more likely to fall asleep at the truck’s wheel. This means the driver could veer from their lane and collide with other vehicles.
- Overloaded trailer – Each truck has a maximum capacity that should not be exceeded when loading a trailer. However, many companies overload trailers in order to earn more profits for item transportation. As a result, the driver may easily lose control over the vehicle, leading to serious accidents.
- Distracted driving – When truck drivers take their eyes off the road even for a few seconds to change the radio station, look at their cell phones, or change a map on their GPS unit, the consequences may be disastrous in the event of a collision.
- Defective truck parts – A vehicle that weighs so much requires additional inspection. Trucking companies are supposed to routinely inspect their fleet to make sure all proper maintenance has been performed. In cases involving some type of maintenance concern (such as faulty brakes, a flat tire, or a transmission malfunction), we can pursue a claim based on the improper maintenance or inspection.
- Improperly secured cargo – The cargo that slides around in the back can cause truckers many problems. The truck may become unbalanced and hard to control, and the loose load can drop from the truck onto other cars on the road.
