Truck Accident Lawyer Rosemount, MN
As part of one of the largest metropolitan areas in the Midwest, Rosemount sees its fair share of semi-truck traffic daily. These giants of the roadway can be exceptionally dangerous in a traffic collision, weighing 80,000 pounds fully loaded. When a semi-truck crashes into a passenger car or SVU, which weighs about 2,000-4,000 pounds, the effects on the passengers in the smaller vehicle are devastating, often fatal.
If you or someone you love has been hurt in a semi-truck accident, you have the right to demand fair compensation from the trucker, their employer, and any other liable party. These cases can quickly become more complicated than a traffic collision involving two smaller passenger vehicles. The advice of a Rosemount, MN, truck accident lawyer with the experience and knowledge required to handle these complex claims can ensure your rights are protected. Contact Bennerotte & Associates, P.A., today for a free consultation with one of our attorneys.
What Does A Rosemount Truck Accident Lawyer Do?
Semi-truck accident attorneys handle the often-complicated claims filed by victims of semi-truck crashes. At our firm, we start by reviewing the circumstances surrounding the crash and then gather evidence, like eyewitness accounts, photos or a video of the crash, and the official police report. We also review data collected from the truck’s Event Data Recorder (the “black box” required for all commercial vehicles). This helps us build a case of negligence against the truck driver.
We also have resources and capabilities that other lawyers may not. Often, our litigation team uses testimony from expert witnesses, like an accident reconstructionist who explains to a jury how the wreck happened. We may also use expert medical witnesses to explain how the accident caused your injuries and affirm the extent of your harm. This also helps us establish the true extent of your material losses.
Our goal is to secure a fair settlement for your losses, both out-of-pocket(like medical care or unearned wages) and intangible, like the pain and suffering and emotional trauma common in the aftermath of a devastating semi-truck crash.
Complexities In Semi-Truck Accident Claims
Truck accident cases have come with complicated legal issues that car accidents typically don’t.
First, we may name multiple defendants in your case, meaning we must construct a case of negligence against each one. Some negligent parties often named in truck accident claims include:
- The driver
- Their employer or the transportation company that contracted their services
- The rig or trailer manufacturer or mechanic
- The party responsible for properly loading the cargo in the truck
Injuries from truck accidents are often catastrophic, possibly permanently disabling. This makes these claims higher than other types of traffic collisions, and insurance companies will examine the evidence in an attempt to minimize or deny your valid claim. Strong legal advocacy is necessary to counteract the tricks insurance companies like to pull—and we deliver it.
