When a Truck Crash Qualifies for a Lawsuit in New York
Your no-fault personal injury protection (PIP) insurance policy should pay your initial medical bills and lost wages. However, PIP does not cover pain and suffering and lasting losses. If you have serious injuries, you will likely qualify to file a lawsuit against the parties responsible for the accident. The New York City truck accident attorneys with Lipsig Law will gather opinions from your medical team and put together a case to help you obtain maximum compensation.
Determining fault will be critical to that compensation. Multiple insurers could be involved. For example, one carrier might cover the trucking company, while a separate carrier covers the company that loaded the cargo the truck was carrying.
A lawyer will trace ownership, dispatch records, and electronic control module data to show negligent driving, poor maintenance, or unsafe loading. That proof will show which parties are liable for your injury, it could also boost your leverage and increase your settlement offer.
Your Case’s Potential Value and a Quick Look at the Legal Process
The amount you may receive depends on many factors. These include the costs of your medical care and future treatment you might need, as well as the amount of money you’re losing because you can’t work.
However, your potential compensation could be considerable. Federal rules require minimum liability coverage for most commercial trucking companies. Your Lipsig Law New York City truck accident attorneys will identify every policy in play – those covering the shipper, broker, municipal entity, and others that might be responsible for the crash. We will account for future costs when demanding equitable compensation.
Once you agree to work with us, we will work quickly. We’ll send preservation letters, request event data recorder downloads, secure dashcam or street-camera footage, and interview witnesses before memories fade.
Meeting All Critical Deadlines
Most negligence claims must be filed within three years. A lawyer will file within the correct window, will press for a fair settlement once the medical picture stabilizes, and will set the case for trial if an insurer undervalues your losses.
Take Advantage of Our Skills and Experience
Insurance companies defend truck cases with resources and tactics. We cut through that by building the file from day one supported by evidence. This proof includes photographs, scene measurements, freight paperwork, maintenance logs, and driver qualification files. We will present those records in a way that connects negligence to your injury.
At Lipsig Law, we keep you informed, promptly return calls, and prepare as if a trial will happen. Our New York City truck accident lawyers know that preparation drives results.
