White Plains Steel Truck Accident Lawyer

Steel trucks can carry many tons of steel at a time. This adds thousands of pounds to a truck’s already impressive weight. People who get caught in the path of a steel truck when it loses control may suffer catastrophic, life-altering injuries.

If you or a loved one was injured in an accident involving a steel truck, a White Plains steel truck accident lawyer may be able to help you fight for compensation for your damages. Call Morelli Law Firm at (212) 751-9800 to find out more about how we can assist you.

There Might Be Multiple Liable Parties Involved in a Truck Accident

A 2017 study conducted by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) found that 73 percent of fatal large truck accidents involved at least one other vehicle.

However, even if the truck driver did strike another vehicle, they might not necessarily be the only liable party for an accident. Trucking companies that encourage their employees to forgo federal regulations to meet unrealistic quotas may be held liable for accidents their employees cause. The drivers may push themselves to unhealthy extremes, go without sleep or breaks, or take performance-enhancing substances to avoid getting into trouble with their employer.

No matter who is liable in your case, Morelli Law Firm can help you find them and hold them accountable. Feel free to call us at (212) 751-9800 for a complimentary case evaluation. If you have a qualifying case, we can get started on assessing your damages to pursue compensation.

We Can Guide You on When to Sue and How Much to Demand

Accident victims have a limited amount of time to seek damages. According to the New York Civil Practice Law & Rules (CVP) §214, you generally have three years to file a personal injury lawsuit. So, even if you are just thinking about filing a lawsuit, you may want to seek legal advice sooner rather than later.

A White Plains steel truck accident lawyer can help you understand what is involved in filing a lawsuit. They can categorize your injuries to put a value on them. These categories may involve:

Economic Damages

If you were in a steel truck accident, you might have to pay bills related to your accident, like medical or repair bills. You may be unable to work for a while, forcing you to depend on others or go into debt just to stay afloat. These losses may be categorized as economic damages. You can sue for things, such as:

  • Reduced earning capacity if your injuries derailed your career and currently prevent you from earning the wages you once did
  • Employment loss if your injuries caused you to lose your job
  • Medical bills if your injuries required you to pursue a medical diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation
  • Lifestyle expenses if you need to hire people, such as landscapers or nannies, to take care of what used to be your daily responsibilities

Non-Economic Damages

Sometimes, the worst effects of a truck accident are emotional wounds. These damages may be categorized as noneconomic damages. They include things like:

  • Pain and suffering, which can apply to any physical or psychological pain you experienced because of the crash
  • Diminished quality of life if you are unable to live independently or if you are unable to participate in your favorite activities
  • Permanent disability if your physical and/or mental capabilities have been permanently affected
  • Loss of consortium if your injuries have negatively affected your relationship with your spouse

What Your Damages Might Be Worth

With economic damages, figuring out how much to sue for may be as easy as looking at a bill or calculating how much income you lost during your time off. However, what about non-economic damages? The amount you qualify for may depend on the severity of your injuries, among other factors. If you are unsure of how to translate your damages into a monetary value, an attorney from Morelli Law Firm may be able to help.
