What Makes Delivery Truck Accidents Unique?
Higher Stakes: Delivery trucks are often insured by policies worth millions of dollars. This makes insurers more aggressive in fighting claims.
More Complex Liability: Potential defendants include the driver, the trucking company, maintenance providers, and cargo loaders.
Specialized Regulations: Delivery trucks must adhere to FMCSA rules, which can be violated in ways not applicable to standard vehicles.
Challenges in Pursuing a Claim
- Defensive Tactics by Companies: Insurers may argue that you were at fault or claim your injuries are less severe than stated.
- Preserving Evidence: Delivery companies may delay or destroy evidence, such as driver logs and GPS data, unless your attorney takes action.
Why You Need a Connecticut Personal Injury Attorney
Local attorneys offer:
- In-Depth Knowledge of State Laws: Understanding Connecticut-specific statutes, such as the state’s comparative fault rules.
- Trial Experience: Many trucking companies settle only when they realize an attorney is prepared to take the case to court.
- Access to Resources: Local attorneys often have relationships with investigators, accident reconstruction specialists, and medical experts.
Your Next Steps
- Schedule a Consultation: Many attorneys offer free consultations to review your case.
