Who Is Liable for Your Truck Accident Injuries?
In Ohio, we regularly see many types of trucks on the road. Our region’s increasing economy has prompted firms to employ large trucks to transport goods throughout the country. With so many trucks on the road, there are several possible liable parties when accidents happen.
Truck Drivers
According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), driver error causes most truck accidents. There are many poor decisions a truck driver may make, including:
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Speeding
- Drowsy driving
- Distracted driving
- Following too closely
- Driving too fast in poor weather conditions
Truck Loading Crews
An eighteen-wheeler’s cargo might weigh thousands of pounds and present a hazard if not properly loaded. Cargo shifts and spills caused by a failure to secure a cargo load properly can result in catastrophic injuries and death in truck accidents.
Trucking Companies
Trucking businesses may engage in dangerous activities that endanger others on the road to maximize profit. One such example is when trucking companies force drivers to travel over a predetermined number of hours each day, which breaks the law requiring them to rest often. As a result, drivers become tired and drive recklessly.
Government Entities
It’s also possible that the government is to blame. For example, they may neglect to place a warning sign or repair road damage that contributes to the accident.

Can You Receive Compensation?
When injured in a truck accident, you may be entitled to compensation for your bodily, emotional, and financial injuries. Here are a few examples of such damages you may receive compensation for:
- Income loss as a result of being out of work for recovery
- Injuries, both severe and minor, that might have long-term effects such as disability or paralysis
- Lost or diminished earning potential and career opportunities, depending on the type of injury you sustain
- Current and future expenses for medical treatment and therapy
- Pain and suffering leading to mental stress
- Wrongful death, including funeral and burial costs
It isn’t easy to estimate the amount of compensation you may be entitled to. After listening to the facts, a truck accident lawyer will be able to provide you with a basic estimate of your case’s value. After completing an investigation and accumulating research, they will be able to give you a more precise estimate.

When Can You File Your Claim or Lawsuit?
The statute of limitations is a time limit for filing a lawsuit. For a personal injury claim in Ohio, plaintiffs must file a lawsuit within two years of the accident (Ohio Revised Code §2305.10) or two years of the date of death in the case of a fatal truck accident (Ohio Revised Code §2105.02).
In some cases, the court may grant a longer time limit. It may be best to speak with an attorney to determine which time constraints apply to your truck accident case.
