How Do I Know If My Semi Truck Collision Was Caused By Negligence?

Negligence is the failure to act with a reasonable level of care, which can have dire consequences for others. These actions or inactions can be compared to what a reasonable person would have done in a similar situation. The burden of proof in such cases falls with the victim and their lawyer, meaning it is their responsibility to prove that negligence on behalf of the defendant in your case was the direct cause of the accident and your injuries and/or damages as a result.

Negligence in an 18 wheeler accident in San Antonio, Texas, may look like any of the following. This isn’t an exhaustive list, though, so speak with a San Antonio trucking attorney as soon as possible to discuss your claim and strategize accordingly.

Common examples of negligence in 18 wheeler accidents:

  • Maintenance issues like brake defects, steering problems, mechanical defects, and more
  • Speeding and aggressive driving
  • Unbalanced load/unsecured cargo

A thorough investigation into the cause of your collision is necessary to determine who can be held accountable for your damages. Whether from the other driver, their employing trucking company, maintenance company, or another third party, the expert 18 wheeler accident attorneys at Carabin Shaw will ensure you get the justice and compensation you deserve.

What Damages Am I Eligible for After a Truck Accident?

Most victims know they are eligible to pursue damages related to physical injuries, but did you know that you may qualify for costs associated with lost wages, emotional damages, future medical expenses, and more? Below are the three categories into which damages in personal injury cases are generally organized.

Personal Injury Damages
  • Economic: These damages are relatively straightforward and easier to calculate. They include hospital visits, surgeries, medications, physical therapy, etc. Economic damages also include car repair costs and wages from missed work.
  • Noneconomic: These damages are more subjective and don’t have a precise amount. They can include pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and more.
  • Punitive: These damages happen less often and are assigned by a judge or jury for especially egregious behavior that warrants additional punishment.
