Truck Accidents

Hidalgo County Truck Accident Attorney

Understanding the Truck Accident Claims Process

To recover compensation for your injuries, you must file a personal injury claim. A personal injury claim is a civil lawsuit that is filed against the person or entity that is responsible for your injuries. In a truck accident claim, you will file a lawsuit against the truck driver, the truck driver's employer, the trucking company, or the trucking company's insurance company.

To file a personal injury claim, you must generally prove that the defendant was negligent. Negligence is a legal term that refers to a failure to use reasonable care when performing an act. If you can prove that the defendant was negligent, you may be able to recover compensation for your injuries. 

In a truck accident claim, you will likely need to prove that the truck driver was negligent in one of the following ways:

  • Driving while fatigued
  • Driving while drowsy
  • Driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs
  • Speeding
  • Not paying attention
  • Failure to follow traffic laws
  • Swerving into another lane
  • Not properly securing cargo
  • Improperly parking on the road
