Damages a Queens Truck Accident Lawyer Will Pursue for You

Truck accidents cause devastating injuries and serious financial losses. In addition to the economic impacts of a crash, you may also experience non-economic losses like pain and emotional distress.

When a negligent truck driver or trucking company is responsible for your crash, you have the right to pursue compensation for everything you’ve been through, not just what the insurance company wants to offer. Our Queens truck accident lawyers will assess your situation and calculate exactly how much you’re owed.

We’ll negotiate with insurers to get a fair settlement and, if necessary, pursue compensation in court. Depending on how this incident has impacted you, we may seek any of the following damages:

• Medical expenses
• Future treatment costs
• Lost wages and loss of future earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Property damage
• Wrongful death damages if you lost a loved one in a truck crash

Steps Our Team Will Take to Get the Results You Deserve

Truck accident cases are complicated, as they often involve federal trucking regulations, multiple potentially liable parties, and insurance companies with deep pockets and aggressive legal teams.

That is why having a firm with in-house investigators and attorneys who are not afraid to litigate makes all the difference.

Here is what our experienced team of Queens truck accident attorneys will do to get the best outcome possible for you after a truck crash:

• Conduct a thorough investigation of the crash
• Obtain and review the truck driver’s logbooks
• Retrieve black box data and any available surveillance or dashcam footage
• Identify all liable parties, including the driver, trucking company, maintenance providers, and cargo loaders
• Coordinate with medical experts to document your injuries and determine the cost of future care
• Negotiate a fair settlement with the insurance company
• Take your case to trial if a fair settlement cannot be reached

Statute of Limitations for Truck Accident Lawsuits in Queens, New York

If you or someone close to you has been hurt in a truck crash, you must follow New York’s statute of limitations when filing a lawsuit for damages. Under CPLR § 214, you have three years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit.

If you don’t file within three years, you’ll be prevented from pursuing the damages you deserve. When you hire our team, we get started on your case right away. If you reach out to our truck accident lawyers in Queens soon, we’ll be able to file all important documents with the courts on time.
