Norfolk, VA Truck Accident Lawyer

Norfolk, VA Truck Accident Lawyer

Commercial trucks cruise Interstate Highway 564, I-64 and I-264 like behemoths, dwarfing other vehicles around them. With the port, big rigs roll down Hampton Boulevard and Military Highway too. When a truck causes an accident, cars, SUVs and even smaller trucks can be crushed, often seriously injuring the people inside. It can be frightening to even think about the potential damages when a truck collides with a bicycle or pedestrian.

While we rely on trucks to transport needed goods, we also rely on the owners and operators of those trucks to drive responsibly and protect those around from an undue risk of harm. When a truck driver or trucking company owner fails to live up to that responsibility, they may be held liable for the consequences.

If you suffered injuries in a truck wreck, a knowledgeable Norfolk truck accident lawyer could provide assistance in a number of ways. Call Cooper Hurley Injury Lawyers to see what one of our dedicated and focused personal injury attorneys could do for you.

Ways Truck Accidents Differ from Other Vehicle Accidents

While many attorneys in Norfolk have handled car accident cases, there are several factors that make truck accidents unique. Aside from the different physical dangers truck crashes present when compared to car accidents, trucks are subject to federal, state and local regulations that do not apply to other vehicles, and violation of these regulations frequently come into play in truck accident cases. Cooper Hurley Injury Lawyers regularly represents clients hurt in truck wrecks, and we know the rules that apply to commercial truck drivers.

Because most trucks are commercial vehicles, several parties may potentially be involved in a lawsuit stemming from a truck accident, including the driver, owner, manufacturer, freight broker, shipper, and maintenance company for the truck. Furthermore, each party may have different insurance providers involved in the lawsuit as well, each of whom is likely to fight tooth and nail to keep you from recovering the compensation to which you are entitled. If you are injured in a tractor-trailer an accident in Norfolk, it is critical to work with an attorney experienced in evaluating truck accident situations.

How a Truck Accident Attorney Can Help

You may only think of contacting a truck accident lawyer in Norfolk when you realize you need to file a lawsuit against a trucker or their employer. However, an experienced attorney could provide critical assistance from the very beginning of the legal matter. In fact, when an 18-wheeler causes a wreck, the lawyers and insurance company investigators are at the scene immediately, so you need to match that power with your own legal team.

Explaining Options

A truck accident lawyer from Cooper Hurley Injury Lawyers can listen to your side of the story and evaluate the situation to determine whether it may be possible to obtain compensation. We can also explain your options for obtaining recovery and assess the pros and cons of each potential path to do so. We charge no up-front fee in our initial consultations about truck accidents and injuries.

Advocating on Behalf of the Injured

When you are asked to answer questions or make statements to insurance companies or investigators, an attorney can advocate on your behalf or provide advice on how to respond to best preserve the right to recovery. Insurance companies are never on your side and almost always looking to minimize the damages their clients owe you, so taking certain actions or making the wrong type of statements can cause problems later. Because of this, it is best to obtain quality legal advice right from the start of your case. If you or a loved one is seriously hurt in a tractor-trailer wreck, we will want to get our experts to the scene ASAP.

Evaluating Settlement Offers

If an insurance company or defendant makes you an offer of compensation to settle your case out of court, your Norfolk truck accident lawyer could calculate the economic costs and assess non-economic harm such as pain and suffering. It is important to determine whether an offer fairly compensates you for the consequences of the accident, for the rest of your life—and if it does not, to reject it and demand a better one.

Uncovering and Using Evidence

At Cooper Hurley Injury Lawyers, we have an experienced group of our own investigators and experts ready to get to the scene right away after a truck collision. We know how to interview the police, download the black box data, and get access to the truck involved.

Talking to a Norfolk Truck Accident Attorney

If you are suffering from injuries incurred in a truck accident, your number one priority should be to protect your health by getting needed medical care. However, it is also wise to consider early on the future ramifications of your accident and their associated costs. A seasoned Norfolk truck accident lawyer could help make sure you protect your future and get full compensation, especially for permanent injuries.

While you focus on obtaining medical care and following your doctor’s instructions, the team at Cooper Hurley Injury Lawyers could field questions and handle the insurance issues arising from your accident. To learn how we could assist in your case, call us now to set up an initial meeting. We are ready to come to your hospital bed if needed.
