Truck Accident Attorney in Virginia Beach

Commercial truck drivers are held to a high standard when it comes to the operation of 18-wheelers. In order to become a commercial truck driver, you must be specially trained and receive your Class C commercial driver's license. You must also be aware of all federal trucking regulations regarding the maintenance and equipping of commercial trucks. Failure to operate a truck with due care and caution, or to maintain and equip the truck as necessary, could result in a serious accident.

Liability in a Truck Accident

Truck accidents are often caused by negligent truck drivers who are simply not paying attention to the road. Sideswipe accidents are quite common, where a truck changes lanes without taking adequate measures to determine if a vehicle is in the lane beside them. Blinds spots or no, a truck driver can still demonstrate negligence when changing lanes. Poor maintenance or operation of the truck could also result in a jackknife accident or a truck rollover, not to mention an underride accident. As long as you have evidence to establish liability on the part of the truck driver, you can win fair compensation through a personal injury claim.

Facing the Big Trucking Companies

One of the hardest parts of winning a truck accident claim is having to face their insurance companies. Trucking companies can suffer a raise in their insurance if they are found liable for a truck accident claim. Therefore, they may be likely to deny liability or offer a less-than-satisfactory settlement to dismiss the issue. Hire a Virginia Beach truck accident lawyer from our firm for the experience and aggressive representation you need to recover compensation from a negligent trucking company or their insurance.
