Every motor vehicle collision has the potential to be physically, psychologically, and financially catastrophic. Accidents disrupt not only the lives of the victims but also those of their families. You now have to deal with the fact that you will have to pay for the victims' mounting medical bills, missed wages, and permanently altering injuries.
Trucking accidents are very different from auto accidents; they can be particularly expensive financially, cause loss of independence, loss of capacity to work, and in extreme situations, death.
This means that if you're injured in an accident involving a truck, your case may have more legal complexities than a car accident. However, don't despair; there are mechanisms available to help you through this difficult time.

The Dixie Law Group is aware of the criteria insurance companies use to evaluate claims and the strategies used by defense lawyers to protect their clients following a truck accident. We are knowledgeable about state laws and the strategies we might employ to obtain the highest amount of monetary compensation.
In order to prevent you from making a mistake that results in you losing your right to compensation following a trucking accident, we have put up a thorough list of Dos and Don'ts:
You should seek medical treatment as soon as possible following a trucking accident.
This is especially important if you are injured in the head, neck, back, or spine area. Failure to seek medical attention could result in permanent damage and impair your ability to collect damages from the at-fault driver.
If you have an injury that requires surgery or any other kind of treatment, make sure you tell your physician about your trucking accident. Failure to do so may result in incomplete or inaccurate records that can impair your case later on.
Many states have statute of limitations which prohibit injured persons from filing lawsuits past a certain point in time.
By consulting with an experienced attorney right away, you can protect yourself from being sued by the at-fault driver before you have had a chance to gather all the evidence necessary for a successful claim.
It is better to not communicate with the insurance company of the truck driver unless you want to give them information that could incriminate you in court.
It's important to remember that the truck driver is also legally entitled to have their side of the story heard, so avoid providing any sensitive information without consulting an attorney first.
Keep and maintain all your records including copies of all ambulance charges, police reports, and any medical records related to your injury. This information can be extremely helpful if you decide to file a lawsuit later on down the road.
At Dixie Law Group, we have the resources and expertise to thoroughly investigate your case and come up with evidence showing that someone else's negligence caused your injuries. We can go to the accident site to look for any additional evidence.
If a police officer conducted an investigation right away following the collision, we may evaluate their findings to establish who they thought was at fault.
In addition, we will require certain evidence to make a compelling argument on your behalf, such as:
Our attorneys are dedicated to achieving the best possible outcome for you and will update you on your case status as well as provide updates on your progress.
Our Louisville accident attorneys represent those who have been injured or lost loved ones in truck accidents.
We cover mishaps brought on by:
Another major cause of truck accidents is driver errors. These can include speeding, running red lights, violations of traffic regulations such as tailgating, failing to yield the right-of-way to other vehicles, and crashing into stationary objects because you were trying to make a turn too quickly.
One of the main causes of truck accidents is driver distraction. This can come from a variety of sources, such as talking on the phone, texting, surfing through social media, and more. We hold the employers of truck drivers who engage in these types of distractions accountable.
Truck drivers have a greater duty to abstain from driving after drinking because they run large, heavy vehicles. If they are found driving at this level, they risk criminal charges as well as a loss of their commercial driver's license.
Truck drivers are generally required to drive a set number of hours per day, but many drivers exceed the limit, thereby causing fatigue. Fatigued drivers are rarely alert and thus may not be able to react quickly enough in an emergency.
In addition, fatigue make drivers fall asleep at the wheel and this increases the risk of being involved in a crash. If you were injured in a truck accident caused by a fatigued or sleepy driver, we can help you get the compensation you deserve.
