Frequently Asked Questions

How To Establish Negligence Caused by Trucking Accidents in Court?

Negligence in trucking accidents can be established in court by examining factors such as driver fatigue, distracted driving, improper maintenance, faulty parts, improper freight handling, and inadequate training. Evidence that can support these claims includes electronic logging data, driver statements, expert testimony, maintenance records, and more. Working with an experienced attorney can help victims prove negligence and pursue compensation from responsible parties like drivers, trucking companies, or manufacturers. For detailed guidance, visit Morelli Law. Contact Us Today

How Long Do I Have to File a New York Truck Accident Lawsuit?

In New York, those involved in a truck accident generally have three years from the accident date to file a lawsuit. However, if a government-owned truck was involved, the deadline shortens to 90 days. Filing on time is crucial since missing deadlines may result in case dismissal. Personal injury attorneys can assist in navigating claims, preserving evidence, and meeting legal requirements to strengthen the case. Consulting a lawyer early helps ensure all potential damages are accounted for and enhances the chance of receiving a fair settlement. For more information, visit Morelli Law. Contact Us Today

Who Is Liable for a Truck Accident in New York?

Liability in New York truck accidents can fall on several parties depending on the case details. Potentially responsible parties include the truck driver, the trucking company, vehicle manufacturers (if a defect contributed to the crash), or cargo loaders (if improperly loaded freight played a role). Each case requires careful evaluation of factors like driver conduct, maintenance records, and company practices. Consulting an experienced attorney helps determine liable parties and gather the necessary evidence to support a claim. For more information, visit Morelli Law. Contact Us Today
