    Who Can You Sue After A Truck Crash?

    In your case, we will investigate whether the truck driver’s careless or reckless conduct played a role in your crash. As we have seen, driver error frequently causes tractor-trailer accidents in Albuquerque and throughout New Mexico. Some examples of truck driver negligence include:

      • Speeding, tailgating and other forms of aggressive driving
      • Distracted driving
      • Failing to yield the right of way
      • Driving while impaired by alcohol or drugs
      • Driving while fatigued (or in violation of hours-of-service rules that limit the number of hours a driver can be on the road)
      • Failing to keep in the proper lane.

    Many trucking operations use third-party vendors. If one of these parties acted negligently, they could be responsible for your damages. Employment agencies, brokers, cargo shippers, loaders and mechanics are examples of third-party vendors.

    If a defective truck or truck part contributed to your accident, you may be eligible to sue the manufacturer and others in the distribution chain. Many crashes can be traced to:

      • Brake problems
      • Defective tires
      • Steering column defects
      • Wheel roll-offs
      • Insufficient underride protection
      • Defective couplings and hitches
      • Flawed hydraulic systems.

    Additionally, our legal team will look at whether a state or federal government agency or its contractors committed wrongdoing that caused your crash. For example, the agency may have failed to properly design or maintain roads.

    What Damages Can You Recover For Your Injuries?

    Many truck accident victims and their families are concerned about paying for medical treatment. We understand how these crashes typically cause severe injuries. We will pursue compensation that includes:

    • Past and future medical expenses – All medical costs related to your accident, including emergency treatment, surgery, hospitalization, rehabilitation, assistive devices, and medication.

    • Lost income and diminished future earning capacity – All of the wages you have lost and will lose in the future due to your injuries, including benefits, bonuses, commissions, and self-employment income.

    • Pain and suffering – The physical pain and emotional anguish you have endured to date and will likely experience in the future. For instance, you may have lingering back pain that prevents you from enjoying life as you did before the crash. You may also experience post-traumatic stress disorder due to the horrific nature of the accident.

    • Scarring and disfigurement – A crash may cause you to lose a limb or suffer severe scars due to cuts and burns. You have the right to seek just compensation for such harm.
