Why Are Truck Accidents More Complex?

Of course, bad roads and unsafe bridges do not cause every trucking accident. More than half of all accidents involving a commercial vehicle cite driver negligence as the cause of the accident. Sorting out the many possible causes for your wreck takes the kind of heavy-duty legal and investigative skills that come with choosing a top-flight law firm like Rutter Mills.

Don’t Make It Complicated

Multiple parties are usually involved in many truck accident cases. However, with the help of a Hampton truck accident lawyer, you will not have to worry about deciphering relationships with trucking companies and insurance.

Both state and federal laws impose strict requirements on commercial drivers. These include the number of hours a driver may be on the road without rest, how they record their miles and truck maintenance, and how long they must wait between consuming alcohol or certain supplements before operating a truck.

A Rutter Mills Hampton truck accident attorney will investigate if any of these regulations were broken and hold the driver or company responsible.

In addition to the records commercial vehicle operators are required to keep, many 18-wheelers today are outfitted with “black boxes”. These event recorders reveal crucial details of the trip before and during the crash, including the speed the truck was traveling and when it applied the brakes.

Federal laws require truck drivers and trucking companies to carry higher insurance coverage than non-commercial drivers. However, the complex relationships between the parties can make it difficult to decipher whose insurance will be liable. Your attorney will handle all aspects of negotiating with insurance, and, if they do not offer a fair settlement, fight in court for your compensation.

These types of vehicle accidents are far more likely to cause serious injury or even fatality than accidents involving only passenger vehicles, and the Hampton truck accident lawyers at Rutter Mills specialize in cases involving serious injuries.

In Virginia, accident victims need to prove the fault of the other party in order to recover compensation for their injuries. However, some of the most common causes are completely avoidable. If someone else’s negligence caused your injury, call the tractor trailer attorneys at Rutter Mills to see how we can help you on the road to recovery.

Adam Lotkin, my attorney, was straight forward and solid. He did what he said he would do. He kept reassuring me I was in good hands, and in the end, he proved, I was. When my case was finished, they treated me fairly and worked quickly to pay out my settlement. When going up against large insurance companies, Rutter Mills proved, your law firm does matter. Thank you all again, for taking a difficult time in my life and making it bearable.

When I started having issues with getting my details of my accident under control. Ms. Gardner from Rutter mills helped me and guided me through the process. This was my first ever car accident so things were very difficult. Thank you to the staff!

Bianka R.

Attorney Dan Delalla and Team were awesome!! Nateisha stayed in constant contact l. They explained the process step by step. To top it off we had a family member to pass in a car wreck by a drunk driver during this time the team thought enough to send flowers. I highly recommend Rutter Mills

Claudette W.

I was hit from behind while sitting at a stoplight . The other insurance company kept dragging their feet and trying to minimize the damage that was done and the medical issues I had after the accident. Gina Montgomery was a joy to work with. She kept me posted on what was going on with my case. She asked for my opinion on how I wanted to handle things during the case. She even took the time to pull me aside during the deposition when she saw me getting upset at the other lawyer trying to trick me. At first, I did not plan to contact a lawyer. I definitely did not think I had a Rutter Mills case. But I'm so glad I called them.
