Truck Accident Lawyer in Salt Lake City

When a passenger car collides with a large truck, there can be major property damage and serious—or even catastrophic—injuries to the driver and passengers of the smaller vehicle. As a result, victims often find themselves in need of extensive, costly medical treatment involving prolonged stays in the hospital. This is usually followed by an extended period of painful and exhausting rehabilitation.

At Fielding Law, we firmly believe that the people or entities responsible for your predicament due to negligent or reckless actions should be brought to justice.

A personal injury claim brought on your behalf against the truck driver or trucking company may be a huge step forward towards your recovery. Thus, do not hesitate to reach out to our legal team without delay. You can schedule a free initial consultation with one of our attorneys who will listen attentively to the circumstances of your accident and provide preliminary advice with regard to the best legal options available in your case. 

How Truck Accident Claims Are Different

Compensation claims related to motor vehicle accidents involving large trucks are notorious for their complexity and technicality. The process can be unpredictable and difficult to handle—much more so than in the case of a typical car crash. One of the main reasons for this complexity is the question of who is at fault in a truck accident.

In most motor vehicle accidents involving passenger cars, the victim files a compensation claim against the at-fault party and expects to be reimbursed by their liability insurance. In the case of an accident caused by the operator of a truck, however, the driver may only be one of many at-fault parties involved. In fact, in some cases, a personal injury claim won’t be directed against the driver at all—rather, the victim will seek compensation directly from the trucking company.

Trucking companies know all too well that claims often demand high compensation amounts due to the nature and scope of truck accident injuries and the resulting costs to the victim. That’s why they usually team up with large and powerful insurance companies who have the resources and competent lawyers to fight claims with ferocious determination. Sadly, this may allow both the trucking company and the insurance company to completely evade financial liability for the injuries. The victim could be left with no compensation whatsoever.

Realistically, if you want to stand a chance in a legal battle against a trucking company and its insurance, you shouldn’t handle your case on your own.

We will also provide you with comprehensive legal assistance, handling your claim so that you can focus on your physical and emotional recovery.

Our legal team will take care of the following tasks related to your case:

How Much Your Claim is Worth

One of the first questions our truck accident victims ask our attorneys during the initial conversation is: “How much is my claim worth?” Understandably, with mounting medical bills and all other unexpected expenses the injured person is left with after the accident, financial issues are usually the most pressing concern for our potential clients. 

Nevertheless, it is important to recognize that every case is different. Putting a definite number on the worth of a claim without thoroughly analyzing all the circumstances is practically impossible. What we can promise our clients is that we will do our utmost to secure the highest amount of compensation possible in each individual case.

We will seek compensation for the following types of losses according to your injuries and accident:

• Incurred medical expenses such as bills for hospital stays, medication costs, rehabilitation, etc.
• Loss of earnings due to inability to work—both past and future
• Lump-sum amount covering the loss of earning capacity
• Pain and suffering damages, including compensation for emotional distress resulting from the accident
• Funeral and burial costs (in the case of wrongful death claims)
• Loss of care and companionship (in the case of wrongful death claims)
