How do truck accident cases vary from car accident cases?
 
Truck accident lawsuits are far more difficult than normal vehicle accident cases for a variety of reasons. First, commercial trucks are subject to a wide range of federal and state restrictions, including those established by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). These laws establish anything from driver rest periods to vehicle maintenance requirements. Violations of these regulations can help determine culpability and establish a compelling legal case. Second, the size and weight of commercial trucks frequently result in more serious injuries and property damage. As a result, the financial stakes in these cases are significantly larger. Victims may sustain long-term or chronic injuries that necessitate continuing medical treatment, rehabilitation, and reduced earning potential. Another significant distinction is the number of parties that can be held accountable. In a truck accident, blame may fall not only on the driver, but also on the trucking business, a third-party maintenance provider, the cargo loader, or even the vehicle manufacturer. These parties may have separate insurance policies and legal teams.

How long can I submit a truck accident claim in Pennsylvania? 
 
In Pennsylvania, the statute of limitations for pursuing a truck accident claim is normally two years after the accident. This means you have two years to file a lawsuit for injuries, property damage, or wrongful death caused by a truck crash. Failure to file within this time frame usually means in losing your right to seek compensation, regardless of how strong your case is. However, there are various exceptions and unique conditions to consider. For example, if the wounded person is a juvenile, the two-year clock may not begin until they are 18. Furthermore, if the collision involves a government-owned vehicle or a municipality, you may be required to file a formal notice of claim within six months after the incident under Pennsylvania's Sovereign Immunity Act. Truck accidents frequently require complex investigations, several accountable parties, and stringent federal laws. Waiting too long to start the legal process can endanger critical evidence and undermine your case.
