Buffalo Delivery Truck Accident Lawyer

Home » Areas We Serve » Buffalo Personal Injury Lawyer » Truck Accidents » Delivery Truck Accidents

Contact a Buffalo, NY, delivery truck crash attorney to see if your injuries qualify you for a case. 

Delivery truck drivers often have tight deadlines they need to meet throughout the day, but that doesn’t mean that they have the right to break the law by driving unsafely. Unsafe driving practices can cause an accident and result in you suffering severe injuries. 

At the Morelli Law Firm, we’re here to help you get compensation for your injuries. Our delivery truck accident lawyers in Buffalo, NY, can help you recover compensation to cover the costs of your accident. 

Determining Liability in a Delivery Truck Crash

When you’re in a crash with a delivery truck, identifying who is liable for your injuries is an essential part of getting the correct amount of compensation. The parties that can be negligent in a delivery truck accident are: 

  • Manufacturer of the truck
  • Driver of the truck 
  • Another driver
  • Mechanic of the truck
  • Truck company

A delivery truck accident attorney in Buffalo, NY, can examine every party’s actions through evidence to see which parties may be responsible for your injuries. We can look for instances of neglecting to adhere to a duty of care. It’s important to know that even if one of the parties mentioned above wasn’t present for the accident, you can still hold them accountable. 

The Limited Time You Have to File a Claim

To be eligible for compensation, you must file a claim against the negligent parties within the designated deadline. According to N.Y. C.P.L.R. § 214(4), you have three years from the date of the truck crash to file a claim. 

Take Advantage of Filing Early

One of the best things you can do to qualify for compensation is to file your claim early. Three years seems like a long time, but you’ll likely need to be treated for your injuries before you can file a claim, which may take a long time. 

As soon as you’ve been treated, you should get in touch with a lawyer and file your claim. They can help you fill out the paperwork correctly so you won’t have any delays.

The Statute of Limitations Might Not Be Accurate for You

Even though there is a specified time frame that the statute of limitations gives, the details of your Buffalo delivery truck accident could change that. This means that you may have more or less time to submit a claim. 

A delivery truck accident lawyer in Buffalo, NY, can give you the exact amount of time you have to file. This can help you plan your injury treatment and still be able to file on time. 

If you miss the deadline, you won’t be able to file another claim or recover any form of compensation. Our lawyers can help you file on time so that you don’t miss the deadline.

Losses From a Delivery Truck Crash an Attorney Can Help You Recover

There are many losses you can suffer in a delivery truck accident, and they’re not all financial. A lawyer from our firm can help you recover losses such as: 

  • Pain and suffering 
  • Loss of income 
  • Medical bills
  • Property damage
  • Loss of companionship 
  • Physical therapy
  • Loss of future earnings

Our delivery truck accident attorneys in Buffalo, NY, are dedicated to helping you recover all the damages qualify for. The amount of damages depends on the severity of your injuries, the number of negligent parties, and the care you are estimated to need for your injuries. 

Agreeing to a Settlement vs. Taking Your Case to Court

When you get into an accident with a delivery truck and qualify for compensation, there are two ways you can go about the situation. You can agree with the defendant to accept a settlement or take your case to court. In our experience, most truck accidents settle out of court.

When to Settle

If you and the defendant can agree on a settlement that fairly compensates you for your injuries, settling out of court may be right for you. Since you don’t have to go to court, you won’t have additional legal fees to pay, and you’ll be able to cover your medical bills as soon as your settlement comes. 

A downside of settling out of court is that you could get a higher settlement if you were to go to court and win your case. 

When to Go to Court

If you and the defendant and their legal team can’t agree on a settlement, it may be time for you to go to court. Taking your case to court can give you and your lawyer more time to prove and defend your case for a chance at a higher settlement amount. 

One of the disadvantages of going to court is that no settlement is guaranteed, which can make things difficult if you have pending medical bills. However, you and the defendant can choose to settle at any point of the trial.

We can help you decide what option is best for your case, and whichever it is, we’re prepared.
