Not All Wrecks Are the Same

The logic should be simple, right?

If you were injured in a wreck with another vehicle—whether it was a big truck or another car—and the other party was found at fault, it should be easy to figure out a fair settlement.

The truth is a little more confusing.

Accidents between two cars can be clear-cut. Police determine who’s at fault. That person and their insurance are likely to pay damages, and the case is settled.

But an accident with an 18-wheeler has some differences, including these:

  • Types of injuries—It’s not hard to imagine the sheer physical difference between a normal car and an 18-wheeler. Severe injuries are more common.
  • Liability regulations—The trucking industry operates under its own body of laws that are designed to keep our roads clear of big truck accidents. But trucking companies also come with stronger legal teams and aggressive insurance adjusters working on their behalf.

If you’ve been injured in a truck accident, you need to know your rights when it comes to a personal injury claim. Getting the best result means protecting your financial future.

Work with an experienced lawyer who knows truck accident versus car accident law. Get a lawyer who stands up to the trucking company, its lawyers, and its insurance company when they resist paying everything you’re owed. 

At Horenstein, Nicholson & Blumenthal, our attorneys fight for everyday people like you—fellow Ohioans in times of need. We don’t represent trucking or insurance companies.
