Don’t let the person who caused your 18-wheeler accident get away with hurting you. Hold the at-fault party accountable by getting in touch with an Ellensburg truck crash lawyer who can help you recover full compensation.
Big rigs are massive and will overpower any other vehicle they come into contact with. This makes sharing the road with these vehicles intimidating to even the most experienced drivers. When you are harmed in a crash with an 18-wheeler, you may have a right to collect compensation that will cover the damages you’ve incurred due to you injuries.
An Ellensburg truck accident lawyer at Craig Swapp & Associates is standing by to assist you. Although the road to recovery is sure to be a difficult one, one call to our firm can get a dedicated lawyer on your side—one who will stop at nothing to help you in your time of need.
Possibly the most critical component of a personal injury claim is establishing who carries the responsibility for causing the accident and your injuries. For Ellensburg truck accident cases, the first party we will look to is the driver of the tractor-trailer.
If the trucker was operating the vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol; driving while distracted by a cell phone, navigation system, radio station, or any other distraction; or driving aggressively by weaving in and out of traffic without signaling, following too closely, speeding, or ignoring traffic signals, then the trucker will likely be found liable for your damages.
In instances where the truck driver was driving while fatigued, the trucker can be held liable, but we will also examine whether the trucking company was in violation of National Highway Traffic Safety Administration regulations that require truck drivers to have a minimum number of days and hours off between shifts.
Other parties who could have caused your commercial trucking accident include cargo loaders, vehicle parts manufacturers, safety inspectors, technicians, and even the truck’s owner. If one or more of these entities has played a part in the collision, we will be sure to hold each party financially accountable in your claim.
Once we know who will be the defendant in your case, we will begin calculating the value of your claim. Few truck crash victims are able to grasp exactly what their damages amount to, but a truck accident lawyer in Ellensburg can help you recover the full extent of your losses. These might include the following:
The amount you receive will depend on the severity of your injuries, as well as their expected impact on your life both now and in the future. While you focus on your recuperation, we will work behind the scenes to ensure that you recover compensation for every single damage you’ve endured.
