What Makes Truck Accident Claims More Complicated?

People injured in an automobile accident in NYC may turn to their own Personal Injury Protection policy for coverage of their medical expenses and lost income and resolve the claim. But accidents involving large trucks often cause more serious injuries and medical expenses that may exceed the limits of the PIP insurance benefits. A person injured in a commercial truck accident may need to file a claim against the truck driver’s liability insurance.But Commercial truck accident claims often produce complex issues of liability.

They are more complicated than other motor vehicle accident claims to resolve for several reasons:

  • Truck accidents may have more than one liable party. Multiple companies are involved in operating commercial trucks, including trucking companies, cargo loading companies, and fleet maintenance garages.
  • Truck accident victims tend to suffer more serious injuries and have higher medical bills. Semi-truck accident cases are higher-value cases.
  • Commercial truck drivers and trucking companies are required to maintain higher amounts of liability insurance because of the harm that large trucks can cause. More money is often at stake, and insurance companies will fight hard to limit their liability.
  • Truck accident cases can involve more pieces of evidence due to the regulated nature of the trucking industry. Trucking companies are required to keep extensive records.
  • Trucking companies can have layered insurance policies or complex corporate structures that make it harder to determine what kind of financial resources may be available to provide compensation to the victims of a truck crash.

If you have been seriously injured in a truck accident, you will need the representation of personal injury lawyers who have extensive experience investigating truck accidents and dealing with their insurance providers.
