Fighting For Your Rights
Truck accidents are often more personally devastating than car accidents. The injuries are more extensive, and there’s a good chance you’ll suffer from a loss of earning capacity in addition to lost wages. There’s also a good chance your pain and suffering will be far more extensive than they’d be in your average car accident.
Meanwhile, the company that owned the truck is likely to have a head start on your case. Many truck accident victims are unconscious after their accident, or are in too much pain to begin gathering evidence.
That’s why our team works so hard to reconstruct the facts of the case, and to compare them to trucking industry norms, laws, and industry standards. We ask questions like:
- How well was the driver trained?
- Was the driver properly background checked?
- Was the driver in compliance with Canadian law in regards to how long it’s permissible to be behind the wheel?
- Was the truck loaded correctly?
- Was the truck maintained on a reasonable and responsible schedule?
- Did the driver obey traffic laws?
- Was the driver under the influence?
If you try to take on the trucking industry alone, you will lose. They may offer a lowball settlement that won’t cover your expenses, or they’ll try to trick you into saying things or signing documents which could put an end to your case.
They may also turn the facts of the case against you, which means you could be held at-fault for, and liable for, the accident. That means you’ll be left to manage all your medical bills alone, including the long-term rehabilitative care that Medicare won’t cover.
