Can an Experienced Truck Accident Attorney Help with My Truck Accident Lawsuit?

Yes.

Our Cleveland truck accident attorneys are well-versed in Ohio law, including commercial driver’s licensing and federal trucking regulations, and have handled large truck accident cases involving serious injuries for decades. We guide injured victims through the legal process to recover maximum compensation.

  • Through a thorough investigation, we gather evidence from the truck wreck accident scene—including the police report, driver logs, truck maintenance logs, and surveillance footage—to determine liability.
  • Using medical records, accident reconstruction, and other data, we negotiate with insurers to reach a fair truck accident settlement to seek compensation for current and future medical expenses, lost wages, and more.
  • When a trucking accident insurance claim involves fatal injuries, we can build a wrongful death claim for the surviving family.
  • If a fair settlement for your Ohio truck accident claim cannot be reached, we can represent your best interests in court.

Types of Cleveland Truck Accidents

Our Cleveland personal injury lawyers handle various types of semi-truck accidents, including jackknife accidents, underride accidents, head-on crashes, blind-spot incidents, rear-end collisions, rollover accidents, and tire blowouts.

What Causes Truck Accidents in Cleveland?

Causes of serious trucking accidents are not limited to a negligent driver. Other causes include failure to obey traffic signals, driver fatigue, distracted driving (such as texting), and intoxication from drugs or alcohol. Additionally, improperly loaded cargo, inadequate vehicle maintenance, brake failure or other mechanical failures, and poor weather conditions can contribute to serious accidents on roads and major highways.

Common Truck Accident Injuries in Cleveland, Ohio

Our truck accident attorneys have represented clients who suffered severe and catastrophic injuries in crashes involving large commercial trucks and smaller vehicles, such as:

  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Spinal cord injuries, including paralysis
  • Broken bones and fractures
  • Internal injuries or bleeding
  • Severe burns or lasting disfigurement

Who May Be Held Liable for a Commercial Truck Accident Case in Cleveland?

Identifying the party responsible in truck accidents is often more complex than in other vehicle crashes, as multiple parties may be personally liable.

This can include:

  • The trucker for impairment affecting the driver’s ability to operate the vehicle safely and causing them to lose control of the truck
  • The trucking company for negligent hiring, training, or supervision
  • Third-party contractors for errors during loading or maintenance or exceeding weight limits
  • The truck manufacturer if a defective part caused the accident

What Compensation Might I Recover in a Cleveland Truck Crash?

Types of Compensation for Truck Crash Injuries in Cleveland

If you’ve been seriously injured in an accident involving a tractor-trailer or other commercial vehicle, you may be entitled to full compensation from the truck driver’s insurance company or other liable parties, including compensation for current and future medical treatment, lost income if your injuries prevent you from working, physical pain and emotional distress, significant vehicle damage, and wrongful death damages for families seeking justice.

What Is My Claim for an Accident Involving Large Trucks Worth?

An experienced truck collision lawyer will evaluate your case by considering key factors like the severity of your injuries, cost of your medical bills, ongoing treatment costs, lost income or earning potential, property damage, pain and suffering, and emotional distress. In many commercial vehicle accident cases, the insurance coverage of at-fault parties also determines the worth of a case.

How Much Time Do I Have to File a Truck Accident Lawsuit in Cleveland?

Ohio law imposes a two-year statute of limitations on most personal injury claims, meaning a truck accident victim has two years from the date the accident happened to file a personal injury lawsuit. There are some exceptions, so it’s important to discuss your personal injury case with a lawyer to avoid missing the deadline—which could prevent you from recovering compensation.
