Home | Indiana Personal Injury Lawyer | Fishers Personal Injury Attorney | Truck Accident Lawyer

If you or a loved one has suffered severe injuries in a commercial vehicle accident, you may be overwhelmed with medical bills for hospital, doctors, physical therapy, and other financial burdens. A Fishers truck accident lawyer in our personal injury law firm can help. Our legal professionals have been helping clients injured in car-truck accidents secure fair compensation for decades.

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

Yes.

Our Fishers truck accident attorneys are well-versed in Indiana traffic laws and federal safety regulations, such as Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations. If you’ve been injured in a passenger car-truck accident, we can guide you through the legal process to recover fair compensation.

  • Our injury attorneys gather evidence from the accident scene (police reports, driver logs, and more) to determine liability.
  • We use medical records and accident reconstruction data to negotiate with insurers for your compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages.
  • In cases involving a fatality, we can file a wrongful death lawsuit for the surviving family.
  • If a fair settlement for your Indiana personal injury claim cannot be reached, we can represent you in court.

Types of Fishers Truck Accidents

Our Indiana truck accident lawyers handle various types of commercial truck collisions, including jackknife accidents, underride collisions, head-on accidents, blind-spot incidents, and tire blowouts.

What Causes Truck Accidents in Fishers?

Serious trucking accidents can happen due to negligent commercial truck drivers, but there are other causes. Driver fatigue, distracted driving (like texting), and intoxication from drugs or alcohol can also cause accidents. Additionally, improperly loaded cargo, inadequate vehicle maintenance, and poor weather conditions can contribute to serious accidents on the road.

Common Truck Accident Injuries in Fishers, Indiana

Our experienced attorneys have represented clients with serious injuries, including:

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
  • Spinal cord injuries, including paralysis
  • Broken bones and fractures
  • Internal injuries or bleeding
  • Severe burns or lasting disfigurement
  • Fatalities, which can result in wrongful death claims

Who May Be Held Liable in a Fishers Truck Accident Case?

Determining liability in commercial truck accidents can be more complicated than other incidents because multiple parties may be liable.

Liability may fall on the semi-truck driver for carelessness. A lawyer may find the trucking company responsible for insufficient training or supervision. Third-party contractors could share blame for errors during loading or truck maintenance. Finally, the truck manufacturer could be liable if a defective part caused the accident.

What Compensation Might I Recover in a Fishers Truck Accident Injury Case?

Types of Compensation for Truck Crash Injuries in Fishers

If you’ve suffered serious or life-altering injuries in an accident involving a commercial vehicle, you may be entitled to compensation from the truck driver’s insurance company or other responsible parties.

  • Medical bills (for current and future medical treatment)
  • Lost wages if you cannot work
  • Pain and suffering
  • Damage to your physical property
  • Wrongful death settlements
  • Punitive damages (in rare cases)

What Is My Fishers Truck Accident Claim Worth?

A semi-truck accident lawyer in Fishers will evaluate your truck crash case by considering your economic and non-economic damages: the severity of your injuries, the cost of your medical bills, ongoing treatment costs, lost income, property damage, pain and suffering, and emotional distress. If your car accident involves large trucks, the insurance coverage of at-fault parties can impact the worth of a case.

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

The Indiana Office of Court Services states that personal injury lawsuits (including truck accidents) in Indiana generally have a two-year statute of limitations from the accident date. Exceptions may apply. Accident victims should consult a truck accident attorney who will hold negligent parties accountable.
