What to Know about Your Phoenix Truck Accident Claim 

Truck accident claims are a subset of personal injury claims. That means you can pursue damages if someone else’s negligence or wrongdoing caused you harm.  

Personal injury lawyers who have expertise in collisions involving commercial trucks and other vehicles are known as truck accident attorneys. These attorneys are well-versed not only in personal injury law, but in the practices and habits of the commercial trucking industry.

How a Phoenix Truck Accident Attorney Can Help You 

Was your accident caused by distracted driving, or by shoddy machinery? Did a truck swerve due to driver fatigue, alcohol use, or steering failure? Was the vehicle’s maintenance record up to date? Could there be multiple liable parties? 

An experienced truck accident attorney can help you to answer all these questions and more. By partnering with expert legal counsel, you’ll find an ally ready to help you navigate the complex world of truck accident lawsuits. An MLG attorney will interface with the defendant’s insurance company, help to determine parties responsible, and advocate for your right to receive fair compensation.  

What to Expect at Your Initial Evaluation 

1. Review of accident reports or evidence from the accident scene: Your attorney will want to go over any police reports or witness testimonies to get a clear sense of what happened and who was responsible.
2. Determination of liability and fault: Using the evidence outlined above, your attorney will assess liability. Arizona is a comparative negligence state, which means that accident victims can claim accidents even if it is determined that they were partially at fault.
3. Discussion of the extent of your injuries: You’ll want to show your attorney any medical records, doctors’ bills, or treatment plans. Remember, your injuries are assessed not only based on any immediate harm, but the potential for future suffering.
4. Outline of next steps: If you decide to proceed with your personal injury claim, your attorney will advise you of relevant timelines and steps in the legal process.

Types of Damages You May Be Able to Recover 

•  Medical Expenses: Motor vehicle accidents of any kind can cause severe injuries, sometimes leaving victims with a permanent disability. These damages include all doctor and hospital bills related to your injuries, including the cost of in-home care, equipment, and any potential rehabilitation
• Lost Income: Missing work to recover from an injury can put victims in difficult financial straits. This type of recovery covers all lost income that results from your injuries, including lost wages and/or reduced income potential.
• Pain and Suffering: A serious automobile accident can leave victims struggling with physical and emotional distress. These non-economic damages refer not only to the immediate pain you may experience after an accident, but any suffering you may endure going forward. 
• Property Damage: These damages include but are not limited to damage to your vehicle. Property damages refer to harm done to any type of personal property.
• Punitive Damages: The rarest form of damages to seek or award in a personal injury case, punitive damages aim to punish defendants for egregious wrongdoing, often defined by an intent to cause harm or extreme recklessness.

What to Do Immediately After a Truck Accident in Phoenix 

Your safety is our top priority. While you may feel overwhelmed or confused immediately after a crash, following these steps can help you and your loved ones get the care you need.  

1. Seek any necessary medical attention: If you or a loved one has been injured in a collision with a truck, it is crucial that you seek treatment for any injuries. Often, witnesses will already have called medical services to the scene.
2. File a police report: You should contact the police as soon as you are able. Be sure to provide them with details like the location of the accident, how many parties were involved, and what kinds of injuries were sustained.
3. Exchange information with the other driver(s): Necessary details include names, contact numbers, and insurance information. If you were struck by a commercial vehicle, you should also get the name of the company or companies under which they operate.
4. Notify your insurance provider: It’s important to alert your insurance company of the crash as quickly as possible. Some insurance companies impose time limits on when you can file a claim, though these vary by provider.
5. Contact the Phoenix truck accident attorneys at MLG: When your health and administrative needs are met, you’ll want to reach out to an MLG truck accident attorney for a free consultation. The sooner you reach out, the sooner we can get you on the road to maximum financial recovery.

Top Causes of Truck Accidents in Arizona 

Arizona is a major hub for commercial trucking. While this is great for commerce, it also means there are thousands of truck accidents across the state every year. No two accidents are exactly alike, but many have factors in common. These include:

• Driver Fatigue: Truck drivers work long hours, and the exhaustion they experience may contribute to commercial vehicle accidents. If a driver is drowsy, they can miss cues from other drivers, deviate from road rules, or lose control of their vehicle.
• Improperly Loaded Cargo: Expert cargo loading is an important aspect of the trucking industry. Improperly loaded cargo can cause uneven weight distribution, making trucks tip or skid when drivers least expect it.
• Negligent and Reckless Driving or Speeding: Maintaining a consistent, lawful speed is crucial for avoiding accidents on the road. Going over the speed limit is the most common sign of reckless driving, but it may also include swerving, racing, or running red lights.
• Drunk Driving: Driving under the influence is the leading cause of traffic-related deaths in the United States. Drivers who have been drinking or consuming drugs suffer from impaired reflexes and poor judgement, often resulting in catastrophic collisions with other vehicles.
• Poorly Maintained Vehicles: If a truck driver or a trucking company has not properly inspected their vehicle before taking it out on the road, mechanical issues may cause accidents. These issues might look like faulty steering, brakes, or signal lights.
