Many cases involve suing the operator of the truck, since driver negligence is a common factor.

You might also be able to pursue legal action against their employer. If the driver were operating within the scope of their employment, their company could face liability as well.

002

Failures in the braking system, steering wheel, headlights, or transmission routinely lead to accidents. When this happens, you could bring a civil suit against the manufacturer.

003

It may also be possible to sue local or state government entities, if the accident occurred due to poor road conditions.

Liability In Suffolk Truck Accidents

Understanding how a truck accident occurs is a vital part of investigating an injury claim. It can also help you demonstrate liability, which can also assist your Suffolk truck accident attorney in determining the at-fault parties. In many cases, more than one defendant is appropriate in a lawsuit, and a successful investigation could uncover all of them. Common causes include:

Intoxicated truck operators
Truck drivers in too much of a hurry to get to their destination
Fatigued truck operators
Negligent or aggressive driving
Overloaded commercial trucks
Negligent truck maintenance
Poor road conditions
Mechanical defects

Any of these factors could lead to a crash. When these factors combine, the result is often more severe.

Truck Accident Attorneys

Trucking plays an important role in U.S. commerce, but a serious truck accident can leave an individual and their family to deal with the life-altering impact for years to come.

No Fees Unless We Win

These types of vehicle accidents are far more likely to cause serious injury or even fatality than accidents involving only passenger vehicles. The 18-wheeler accident lawyers at Rutter Mills specialize in cases involving serious injuries, so we know how to tackle commercial truck accidents and recover maximum money compensation for our clients. We work on a contingency basis, so you don’t have to pay anything upfront for a consultation, having us take your case, or any other upfront fees. Our lawyer’s fee comes out of a set percentage of your settlement or verdict. Anyone can benefit from first-class legal services, and you should only be focused on getting the support you need for your injuries, not how to pay for it.

Don’t Fight Insurance Alone

In Virginia, accident victims need to prove the fault of the other party in order to recover compensation for their injuries. Truck accidents are often much more complicated than an auto accidents, because of the multiple parties involved and heightened insurance trucking companies hold. Trucking insurance will have even more attorneys to defend against a suit, and will try their hardest to pay out as little as possible or disqualify you from compensation at all. Having a Suffolk truck accident lawyer from Rutter Mills protects you from predatory insurance and ensures you will not be taken advantage of.

Dont make it harder than it needs to be. Choose Rutter Mills! I had never needed to contact an attorney, it was all new to me and I was in pain from being rear ended while at a stop light. I did like most and checked reviews. I called Rutter Mills and not for one second did I ever doubt my decision. I had the pleasure of working with attorney Andrew Boran and his paralegal Kathy Saunders. They were there for me every step of the way. Extremely understanding and knowledgeable. They stayed in touch with me and went to bat for me. I highly recommend them to anyone. Don't make it harder than it needs to be on yourself, CALL RUTTER MILLS NOW!

Chuck C.

Rutter Mills did exactly what I needed. Took all the pressure off of me, negotiated a fair settlement, and treated me royally in the process. At a low point in my mood, they even sent me cookies! My attorney Mr Boran, Kathy, Julie and the rest made a bad situation as painless as possible. I feel lucky to have chosen them after my accident. Thanks Rutter Mills team

Cody W.

First off I want to thank Rutter Mills for the outstanding work they continue to do. I had a case recently and it was a complex one. My lawyer, Will Nexsen did an amazing job. I would highly recommend him and Rutter Mills. I want to give a big thanks to Julia, as well, for keeping me constantly in the loop. She always texted or called me back immediately with any questions and concerns I had. I greatly appreciated that.

Linda D.

I would like to think everyone at Rutter Mills for their wonderful service. Everyone from Christine to Melanie, Catherine and of course Dan. Catherine and Dan worked very hard on my case and looked out for my best interest. I never called an update as I was kept current. They’re truly an asset to the law firm. If I could give addition stars I would.
