Long Beach Truck Accident Lawyer

Home » Areas We Serve » Long Beach Personal Injury Lawyer » Truck Accidents

truck crashed into a snowy ditch

A collision between a passenger vehicle and a large truck can lead to catastrophic injuries, severe damage, and serious emotional trauma. If you or a loved one experienced such a collision in Long Beach, New York, you may be able to pursue the liable parties for damages. A truck accident lawyer from our team at Morelli Law Firm could work with you to:

  • Ensure a thorough investigation into its costs and causes for your collision
  • Prove the at-fault party’s duty, breach, cause, and damages
  • Assign a favorable value to your compensation lawsuit
  • Negotiate with the at-fault driver’s insurance company
  • Ensure your lawsuit complies with the filing deadline

Investigating the Cause of Your Truck Collision

While you cope with the aftermath of the incident, a truck accident lawyer from our firm could start building your case for compensation. The first step is determining how your collision happened, as this can point to who was responsible and who you can hold accountable. Our team has built truck accident cases around many different negligent acts, including:

  • Speeding
  • Driver fatigue
  • Failure to yield
  • Vehicle defects
  • Distracted driving
  • Alcohol or drug impairment

Other factors might have caused or contributed to your collision. Our investigation will help us uncover them, including evidence to establish your right to compensation. We may be able to hold one or more parties financially responsible for your damages, depending on the evidence we find.

Liability May Include More than One Party

If you were injured or someone you love suffered fatal injuries in a truck accident, more than one party may be to blame. While a truck driver may have made an error behind the wheel, their employer could be liable for their actions.

Alternatively, a vehicle or parts manufacturer may be liable when a defect causes a collision. Trucking companies and mechanics can also be liable if neglected or faulty maintenance led to the crash. To pursue the at-fault driver or another party for financial compensation, we must first prove their liability. We do that by using evidence to establish that:

  • The liable party’s actions violated a duty of care, such as the duty to follow trucking regulations or keep up with vehicle maintenance, which protects others on the road.
  • These actions led to or contributed to the collision.
  • You suffered injuries and other damages because of the collision.

Suing for Your Truck Accident Injuries

Truck accidents often lead to serious consequences. You may face physical, emotional, and financial damages, and the at-fault driver may be compelled to compensate you for them.

When beginning your case, our team will need to request your medical records and bills to assess your injuries and their expenses. We may also ask for an official copy of your crash report, as it may state the presence and severity of your injuries at the accident scene.

Calculating Your Losses

After a truck accident in Long Beach, you might be eligible to recover a variety of expenses and losses. Our team could help you recoup the following economic and non-economic damages from an at-fault truck driver, their employer, the truck’s manufacturer, or a combination of liable parties:

  • Income losses
  • Medical expenses
  • Physical impairment
  • Loss of future earnings
  • Vehicle damage or loss
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • In-home medical services
  • Mental and emotional stress

We will work hard to assign a thorough and accurate monetary value to your damages. Our goal is to ensure that none of the damages that you are eligible to recover get overlooked.

State Deadlines for Filing a Truck Accident Lawsuit

The physical recovery process after a collision might prevent you from participating in your compensation case as fully as you might like. Similarly, it may take time to cope with your loss, and feel prepared to seek compensation if your loved one was fatally injured.

Even so, there is a deadline for filing a lawsuit in these cases. Rather than missing out on the potential to sue for damages, you can let our team get started on your case right away while you concentrate on your injuries and your family. Depending on the outcome of the truck collision, you could face one of the following filing deadlines:

  • The personal injury statute of limitations is generally three years, according to CVP §214.
  • The wrongful death statute of limitations is generally two years, according to EPT §5-4.1.

The financial recovery process can be daunting and tiresome to navigate on your own. With sufficient notice, we can ensure compliance with the statute of limitations and help you avoid the risk of running out of time.

Let Our Attorneys Fight for the Compensation You Deserve

With the direction and guidance of one of our truck accident lawyers, you can rest assured that your case will account for each of your damages and include strong evidence to support your financial recovery. Contact the client intake team at Morelli Law Firm, and let us start building your case today. You can receive a complimentary case assessment by calling (212) 751-9800.
