What to Do after a Trucking Accident
Common Causes of Truck Accidents
Due to the disproportionate size of big rig trucks, they may be more susceptible to accidents due to road hazards, dangerous weather conditions, and the negligence of other drivers on the road. A number of other factors, including defective automotive products, faulty manufacturing, and normal vehicle wear and tear can result in a trucking accident. If you have been injured in a trucking accident, whether you believe the cause of the accident was controllable or not, you should contact an experienced attorney immediately. At Proner & Proner, our trucking and auto accident lawyers serve victims in Manhattan and throughout New York City. We will work diligently to determine the cause of the trucking accident and hold the responsible parties accountable.
Proving Fault in Trucking Accident Cases
In order to be eligible for compensation in a trucking accident case, you must be able to prove that the accident occurred as the result of another party's negligence. Similar to motor vehicle and motorcycle accident cases, several parties can be held liable for a trucking accident, including the truck driver, the manufacturer of the truck (or a part of the truck), or the party responsible for maintaining safe road conditions. However, proving who was at fault, and to what degree, can be extremely difficult, given the complexity of personal injury and liability laws and the perseverance of the defense. Therefore, it is best to enlist the assistance of skilled and practiced attorneys to do so. Our trucking and auto accident lawyers are known in Manhattan and Greater New York City for providing outstanding legal representation. We will work aggressively to help you obtain compensation for your injuries.

What to Do after a Trucking Accident
If you are involved in a trucking accident, first and foremost, seek medical attention. At the accident scene, be careful not to make statements indicating fault for the accident, even if you believe you were solely responsible, since the defense can use such statements to reduce your claim. You should also contact an experienced auto or trucking accident attorney as soon after the accident as possible. An experienced attorney can determine whether you have a case, and, if you do, he or she will gather evidence at the scene of the accident, witnesses’ testimonies, and the necessary paperwork to proceed. Having an attorney on your side often reduces the stress involved in dealing with the aftermath of a motor vehicle accident, maximizes the amount of compensation you are able to obtain, and prevents the defense from escaping responsibility.
