Who can file a claim following a truck accident?

Depending on the circumstances of the truck accident, many parties may be able to file a personal injury claim. At Sullivan Brill Personal Injury Attorneys, we assist a diverse range of individuals in seeking justice and recompense. In most cases, injured drivers or passengers in other cars may submit a claim if the truck driver or trucking firm was at fault. Pedestrians and bicycles hit by a commercial truck may also have viable claims. In circumstances of fatal injuries, close family members, such as the deceased's spouse, child, or parent, often have the legal right to bring a wrongful death claim through an estate representative.

Truck drivers may also be able to file a claim if the crash was caused by another party, such as another driver or a negligent truck maintenance provider. It's also worth noting that kids wounded in truck accidents can file a claim through their parent or legal guardian. Sullivan Brill Personal Injury Attorneys provide detailed counsel on determining who has legal standing, how to preserve evidence, and when to file within New York's deadlines.

What evidence is required to prove liability? 
 
To show liability in a truck accident lawsuit, solid and detailed evidence is required. At Sullivan Brill Personal Injury Attorneys, we collect and evaluate a variety of documents to determine who was at fault. Key evidence includes the truck driver's logbooks, which may disclose hours-of-service infractions or weariness, as well as the vehicle's black box data, which captures speed, braking, and mechanical performance prior to the collision. Maintenance and inspection records might reveal whether the truck was in poor condition or inadequately serviced. 
 
We also gather the driver's employment and training history to assess if the trucking firm negligently hired or neglected to oversee the driver. Photos and videos from the scene, such as traffic camera footage or dashcams, give vital visual evidence. Police accident reports and witness interviews bolster the claim by providing objective accounts of what happened. In some circumstances, we collaborate with accident reconstruction experts to recreate the collision and determine fault.
