Are Truck Accidents Handled Differently Than Auto?

Yes, although an motor vehicle accident involves a claim or lawsuit against a driver, trucks are routinely driven by professional drivers who may or may not be employed by a particular company. Furthermore, some trucks carry cargo within a state, while others are covered by interstate licenses, and the levels of insurance coverage will vary greatly. Moreover, federal regulations for logging, hours driven, cargo loading and many other aspects must be examined during Discovery by an attorney familiar with Truck Accidents (Call THE MARGOLIS FIRM PC). Each trucking company has its own internal rules whose violation may be the cause of the accident. Obviously, when a truck hits a car, the car always loses, and injuries may often
include Wrongful Deaths and multiple vehicles involved.

Unfortunately, this aspect often leads to consolidated lawsuits involving many parties and lengthy litigation.
