Why Truck Accidents Are Different from Car Accidents
Truck accident claims are more complex than typical auto accident cases. They often involve:
- Federal trucking regulations
- Commercial insurance policies
- Multiple liable parties
- Corporate defense teams
- Black box (ECM) data
- Logbooks and maintenance records
Trucking companies and insurers move quickly to protect themselves after a crash. You need legal representation that acts just as fast.
Common Causes of Truck Accidents in Meridian
Truck crashes often result from negligence, including:
- Driver fatigue
- Distracted driving
- Speeding or reckless driving
- Improper lane changes
- Overloaded or improperly secured cargo
- Mechanical failures
- Inadequate truck maintenance
In some cases, trucking companies push drivers to meet unrealistic deadlines, increasing the risk of serious crashes.
Who May Be Liable in a Truck Accident?
Truck accident claims often involve multiple responsible parties, such as:
- The truck driver
- The trucking company
- The cargo loading company
- Maintenance contractors
- Truck manufacturers
- Third-party drivers
Identifying every liable party is critical to maximizing compensation.
Injuries Common in Semi-Truck Accidents
Because of the force involved, truck accidents frequently cause:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries
- Broken bones
- Internal organ damage
- Severe burns
- Permanent disability
- Wrongful death
These injuries often require long-term medical care and can permanently impact your earning ability.
Idaho Comparative Fault Law
Idaho follows a modified comparative fault system:
- You can recover compensation if you are less than 50% at fault.
- Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault.
Insurance companies often attempt to shift blame to minimize payouts. Our attorneys push back aggressively against unfair fault allegations.
