Holding Commercial Entities Accountable for Truck Accidents

While accidents involving cars and SUVs are common, it’s especially concerning that there is a rise in commercial truck accidents on our roads. According to MoDOT, the state of Missouri averages over 100 truck-related fatalities annually. 

Accidents involving commercial trucks and vehicles are typically caused by:

  • Driver negligence: This can include the driver falling asleep at the wheel, driving while fatigued, distracted, or driving while under the influence.
  • Vehicle malfunction: This can include manufacturing errors, mechanical issues, and other flaws that may cause the truck to fail and cause an accident.
  • Weather conditions: Inclement weather can boost the chances of an accident. Large commercial vehicles cannot swiftly stop on wet or icy surfaces, so if there is snow or rainfall taking place, the likelihood of a collision increases. 
  • Improper loading: Incorrectly loaded or poorly secured cargo can cause a truck to lose control or have the cargo fall out on the road, causing an accident.
  • Failure to maintain safety protocols: Some drivers or trucks may not be driving or acting in accordance with their company’s safety regulations.
  • Improperly maintained truck: If the commercial entity does not carry out necessary maintenance on the vehicle, it could be a safety risk and result in a serious accident.
  • Poorly trained drivers: Companies that hire inexperienced drivers or fail to give adequate training need to be held accountable if any accident occurs while they are behind the wheel.
  • Speeding: By driving too fast, a commercial vehicle driver is a threat to everyone else on the road.

Commercial companies should be held to a much higher standard than the average driver since their vehicles hold more weight and mass due to transporting cargo, and thus they should be implementing much more rigorous safety protocols. 

Because of their size and weight, these vehicles are much more difficult to maneuver, leading to serious accidents if the proper caution isn’t taken.

Determining liability in a truck accident can be difficult as one or multiple parties may be liable for the accident and be held responsible for paying damages. 

Accident liability can fall on the:

  • Truck driver
  • Trucking company
  • Truck manufacturer
  • Management company

With all the confusion this could bring, having a knowledgeable attorney in your corner can make things easier. Our Branson motor vehicle accident lawyers can help you determine who is the responsible party or parties and build a case of negligence against them. 

The Real Cost of a Motor Vehicle Accident

From a serious case of whiplash to a severe concussion, the injuries you sustain in a motor vehicle accident are vast. They can greatly impact your quality of life and make it hard for you to live or work as you did prior to the accident. 

According to the National Safety Council, the average cost of a non-fatal injury resulting from a motor vehicle accident is $78,900.

The exorbitant costs of this average factor in things like:

  • Having to be transported to an ER and stay in the hospital for a prolonged period
  • Undergo diagnostic tests, such as an X-ray, CT scan, or MRI
  • Physical therapy, medication, surgery, and possible long-term care
  • Lost wages due to being unable to meet the physical demands of your job

Expenses after a motor accident can pile up fast to the point of being overwhelming. Worst of all, if this accident wasn’t your fault, you still have to face the burden of everything that comes with an injury. 

We at Ozark Mountain Attorney believe you shouldn’t have to pay for someone else’s negligence and recklessness. If you retain our services, we will make sure we recover the right compensation for your damages. 

Forget about lowball offers from the insurance companies and being taken advantage of by the responsible parties. We will do everything in our power to ensure you are treated justly.
