How Truck Accidents Happen
Some causes of accidents with trucks in Owensboro, KY, include:
- Driver inattention
- Poor road design
- Speeding
- Improper merging and turning
- Failure to yield or check blindspot
- Driver fatigue
- Improper hiring practices
- Poor truck maintenance
- Defective truck parts
- Following too close
Even though driver error is generally the main culprit of truck accidents, we would typically hold the trucking company accountable when we file a claim or lawsuit. Due to vicarious liability, employers are responsible for their employees’ actions. As a result, they would pay your damages. If we find that something other than driver error or the trucking company’s negligence caused the accident, parties who may be responsible include:
- The city government
- The cargo company
- The mechanic
- The truck parts manufacturer
- Another road user
If we find that more than one party played a role in the accident, then a lawyer at our firm will pursue each one for your damages.
What Steps Should You Take After a Truck Accident?
The following are simple steps you should consider taking immediately after the accident.
- Stay at the accident scene if you can.
- Dial 911 and report the emergency.
- Check if other people have been injured.
- Keep records for evidence; you can take photos or capture a video.
- Take the other driver’s contact info, insurance details, driver’s license number, and vehicle info if possible.
Write down what you remember of the truck accident, too. Your testimony is crucial to the validity of your case.
Following Kentucky’s Statute of Limitations for Vehicle Accident Lawsuits
Sometimes, we will file a lawsuit if we deem that to be the most appropriate course of action for you. According toKy. Rev. Stat. § 304.39-230, you must comply with certain timelines. Generally speaking, you must bring your lawsuit two years after the day of the accident, the final personal injury protection (PIP) payment, or the decedent’s demise.
Waiting too long could harm your right to recover compensation, as the court may prohibit you from holding the other party responsible for what happened to you. In that case, it will be on you to cover your losses related to the truck accident.
