From the accident victim's perspective, the biggest difference concerns the severity of the injuries: permanent or disabling brain trauma, spinal cord damage or widespread orthopedic problems are the common results of a collision with a 40-ton semi rig. The financial recovery necessary to support an extended or permanent disability might approach or exceed seven figures.
Experienced personal injury lawyers understand that the availability of multimillion-dollar commercial liability coverage means that your personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit is likely to be complicated. A truck accident involving serious and permanent injuries requires specific proof of damages in detail. The defense will present its own experts to challenge your damages calculations, and will have a great deal of incentive to minimize its exposure.
Worcester commercial vehicle injury lawyer Peter Ventura knows how to work with experts on both sides of a complex damages claim. He works with treating and consulting doctors, vocational rehabilitation specialists and life-care planners to achieve a detailed understanding of what you'll need to collect through settlement or a jury trial. He also works with trucking industry experts and accident reconstruction consultants as necessary to develop the facts indicating the trucker's liability.
Whether your accident was caused by driver fatigue, improper inspections or maintenance, poor hiring practices, load shifting, tire failure or any other factor, we can help you pursue your rights against one or more individual or corporate defendants.
