What to Do After a Jefferson County, KY Truck Accident
The first and most important thing to do after a truck accident is to get help from both law enforcement and paramedics. The police will fill out an accident report and may determine the liable party at the scene. You should obtain a copy of this report as it will contain crucial information that may favor your case.
Medical personnel can treat those who are injured. Even if you do not feel injured, it is important to receive medical attention. You should continue seeing a doctor after the accident to ensure no injuries are developing.
Many injuries, like traumatic brain injuries (TBI), don’t present themselves right away. You also want to create a paper trail of medical records to show insurance companies that your injuries are from the truck accident, not something else. They may challenge where your injuries came from in an attempt to pay you less than you deserve.

Identifying Liability in Your Louisville Accident
Although the truck driver would seem to be the obvious liable party, the company who employs them or the carrier could be held liable instead, or in addition to the driver.
Other possible liable parties in a truck accident include the cargo shipper and loader, the vending parties in partnership with the trucking company, the manufacturer and parts maker, and government agencies and contractors (if applicable).
Your lawyer will determine all the liable parties after an investigation and take necessary action to hold them accountable for their negligence. There are regulations imposed by the Federal Motor Carrier and Safety Administration (FMCSA) that a truck driver and their company must adhere to. When they fail to, we can prove this and fight for fair compensation.

Recovering Compensation
So, what can you be awarded money for after a truck accident? It can be a lot more than the cost of a few damaged car parts. Compensation can include present and future medical expenses, loss of income, loss of future earning potential, pain and suffering, scarring and disfigurement, mental pain, and property damage.
If the accident caused a loved one’s death, you may also seek wrongful death compensation. This can help cover funeral and burial expenses, loss of financial support, and loss of companionship and guidance.

How Our Legal Fees Work
After a truck accident that stemmed from negligence, legal help can make a difference in the outcome of your case. However, you may worry about whether you can afford legal counsel, especially if you have mounting medical bills.
You don’t have to worry with us, though. We work based on a contingency fee agreement. This means we don’t collect any money upfront or on an hourly basis.
If we are able to obtain a recovery for you, our fees and costs are taken from the recovery. When working with our team, we want your experience to be the least of your worries.
