It is a comparison between a bullet of an automobile and a bomb of a tractor trailer. Allan Siegel: There’s a lot more involved in a truck crash case than there is in a car crash case. And not every law firm knows and understands trucking cases. There are federal rules and federal regulations that govern the trucking industry that they must follow, and a lawyer who’s handling those types of cases needs to know all of those laws, needs to know hours of service, needs to know how they’re supposed to keep their logs. I am on the executive board of the AAJ Trucking Litigation Group. I will eventually be the chair of that group. I’ve worked with that group and been on the board for many years and have been working and have a deep understanding of trucking cases. Joseph Cammarata: If it’s a heavy use vehicle, dump truck, a garbage truck, U-Haul, tractor trailer, 18 wheeler, those are trucks. So we’re not just talking about 18 wheelers. Those big rigs that you see on the road. Stephen Ollar: It’s not always just the truck that’s at fault. Maybe the truck trucking company itself was negligent in not providing enough supervision for the truck driver. So there’s a lot that goes into it, and it’s something that we pride ourselves in. ## Arlington Truck Accident Attorney Truck accidents can lead to devastating consequences, inflicting life-altering injuries that require extensive and costly medical treatment for victims. The financial burden of these treatments and medical bills can be overwhelming for both the victims and their families. In cases where these accidents result from negligence by commercial truck drivers, trucking companies, or other industry entities, the victims may be entitled to seek compensation for the losses caused by their injuries. If you or a loved one has suffered severe injuries in a commercial or semi-truck accident, [contact](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/contact-us/) an Arlington [truck accident attorney](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/truck-accidents/) today from Chaikin, Sherman, Cammarata, & Siegel, PC. ![truck driver accident in arlington va]() ## Common Causes of Trucking Accidents Driving semi-trucks, tractor-trailers, or large commercial trucks is a vastly different experience compared to operating a family SUV. These semi-truck vehicles can weigh 20 to 30 times more than standard passenger vehicles and occupy significantly more space than motor vehicles. Consequently, they handle it in a manner that most of us are not accustomed to. Due to their considerable size and weight, commercial trucks have slower acceleration, require more space to make turns, and severely limit visibility for the driver. Moreover, they have specialized features not commonly found in passenger vehicles, such as air brakes and coupling devices. Given the difference between driving commercial trucks and regular cars, those who wish to drive commercial vehicles must undergo specialized training, obtain commercial driver’s licenses to ensure legal operation, and follow trucking regulations. Despite these measures, there are still instances where a commercial truck driver may make mistakes and drive carelessly, leading to severe accidents. These serious truck accidents are often a[ result of the following](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/truck-accidents/trucking-accident-causes/): * Reckless driving. * [Driver fatigue.](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/truck-accidents/trucking-accident-causes/truck-driver-fatigue/) * [Impaired driving](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/truck-accidents/trucking-accident-causes/cdl-dui-accidents/). * Failure to yield. * Following too closely. * Improper turns. * Need to signal lane changes. * Driving on the wrong side of the road. * [Distracted driving](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/car-accidents/types-of-distracted-driving/). ## What to Do After a Truck Accident in Arlington In the event of a truck accident in Arlington, [your first step](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/blog/2020/02/what-to-do-after-a-truck-accident-2/) is to prioritize safety for yourself and any passengers. If your vehicle is operational, try to move it to a safe spot on the road, though it might be challenging on a highway. If you or others have been injured in a truck crash, call for an ambulance to take you to a nearby hospital. While receiving medical attention, inform the healthcare staff about how the truck crash and injuries occurred to document your claim accurately. Furthermore, contact law enforcement to assess the accident scene. A police report will be valuable when reporting the incident to your insurance company. In certain situations, you may be legally obligated to report the accident to law enforcement, especially if severe injuries or fatalities were involved in the crash. ## What kinds of Evidence Will You Need for a Truck Accident Case? Your Arlington truck accident lawyer will gather different types of evidence to help make your claim strong. Some of the most common types of evidence you will need in a truck accident claim are: * Police reports * Statements from any witnesses * Your medical records * The truck driver’s driving record and logs * Photographs from the scene of the accident ![handling truck accident cases in arlington va]() ## When to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit After a Trucking Accident in Arlington, VA Suppose the trucking company or accident injuries fail to receive sufficient compensation. In that case, it is essential to contemplate initiating a personal injury lawsuit. Nevertheless, remember that your claim must adhere to the statute of limitations. The statute of limitations specifies the time limit for a plaintiff to file a lawsuit for injury claims against a defendant.[ Virginia’s statute of limitations](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/virginia-personal-injury-statute-of-limitations/) for a personal injury lawsuit is two years from the accident date. Failing to file your case within this two-year window may result in the court dismissing your claim. Don’t delay in pursuing the rightful compensation you deserve. Our firm is here to promptly assist you in commencing your [personal injury claim](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/filing-a-personal-injury-claim/). ![arlington va truck accident]() ## What Kind of Damages Can Be Recovered in a Truck Accident Case?

Call us for a no-obligation opportunity to get answers to your legal questions, including what you can expect from a truck accident case. ### Economic Damages Economic damages refer to the quantifiable losses from an accident, making them relatively straightforward to assess. These damages encompass both immediate and long-term financial implications. They may comprise medical expenses, treatment and rehabilitation costs, repairs to personal property, lost wages, and potential earnings that have been affected. In more tragic circumstances where a fatality has transpired due to the incident, economic damages may extend to cover funeral expenses, burial costs, and other post-mortem arrangements for the deceased. ### Non-Economic Damages Quantifying non-economic damages poses a more significant challenge as they encompass various intangible losses. These damages encompass the pain and suffering experienced or anticipated to persist due to the accident and psychological traumas such as mental anguish and emotional turmoil. When seeking compensation, it’s crucial to consider these non-economic damages. An empathetic and well-informed Arlington truck accident attorney understands the immense stress and suffering that often follow such accidents. They can effectively collaborate with individuals to explore all potential paths for recovering these non-economic damages. ### Punitive Damages While punitive damages are infrequent and not commonly granted in automobile and truck accident cases, a court may choose to consider awarding them if the defendant’s conduct reaches an egregious and reckless level as an effort to penalize the defendant for their willful,malicious or reckless behavior. ![trucking company accident in virginia]() ## Our Dedicated Arlington Truck Accident Lawyers Are Here For You Our team at Chaikin, Sherman, Cammarata, Siegel, P.C. is dedicated to fighting for fair compensation and helping you navigate the complexities of the legal process during this challenging time.
