Interstate Truck Accidents
Trucking companies put deadly big rigs on highways every single day. We hold them accountable.
Any collision involving a truck and a passenger vehicle is potentially deadly, but a crash occurring on an interstate highway carries an even greater risk of death and permanent injury. Interstate truck accidents often involve multiple vehicles and frequently cause fatalities.
When the truck driver or truck company is from another state, the legal process for pursuing compensation can be challenging and open more possibilities as to how your truck crash lawsuit might be handled. At the Law Firm for Truck Safety, our attorneys represent people injured in truck accidents nationwide. Truck accident cases are the only type of personal injury case we handle, so rest assured we have the knowledge and skills to pursue full justice for you and your family.
Why Are Interstate Crashes Dangerous?
Vehicle collisions on interstate highways typically involve cars and trucks traveling at high speeds. Higher speeds increase the force of impact, leading to greater damage. Additionally, vehicles moving at highway speeds require more time to stop, making it harder for drivers to avoid crashes compared to crashes on city streets.
A collision with a heavy truck moving at highway speeds can destroy a smaller vehicle and cause substantial harm. Additionally, high-speed crashes can cause fuel tanks to explode and catch fire.
Truck accidents on interstates often lead to multi-vehicle pileups and, many times, result in crashes that leave the highway looking like a war zone. The resulting traffic congestion can delay the arrival of emergency medical personnel, impacting an injured person’s survival and potential for a full recovery.
Disabling Injuries Are Common
Survivors of highway truck accidents often experience profound injuries. You may lose the ability to use one or more of your limbs or sustain internal injuries that affect your body's functions. If you sustain a head injury, you might struggle with memory loss, cognitive impairment, mobility problems, or mood disorders.
Constant pain can be challenging to manage, and the emotional impact of your physical injuries may lead to conditions such as severe anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder. These effects can also impact your relationship with your loved ones.
At the Law Firm for Truck Safety, we understand how devastating severe truck crash injuries can be, and we are ready to offer the support you need. Our highway truck collision attorneys can help ensure you receive the medical and rehabilitative care you need and manage communication with your creditors, employer, and insurance companies.
As we handle the legal process, we will build a strong case against the truck driver, transportation company, and other responsible parties.
Legal Complications of Interstate Accidents
Bus and truck accident claims are typically more complex than those involving cars, vans, or SUVs for several reasons.
Transportation companies often have teams of investigators, adjusters, and lawyers working to protect their interests after a serious crash. In order to secure the maximum compensation you're entitled to, it is essential that you work with a truck accident law firm that has a proven track record of holding transportation companies accountable.
Additionally, multiple parties may share liability in a truck crash. When an accident occurs on an interstate highway, some responsible parties may be based in different jurisdictions. Our attorneys often deal with this scenario and can ensure that every responsible party is held accountable, regardless of location.
