New Hampshire Truck Accident Lawyers
The dangers of car crashes are well known. Unfortunately, truck accidents are nearly as common and can cause devastating injury to the passengers of other vehicles, who can face lifelong disability, expensive medical bills, and even death. Read on for more information on truck accidents and your legal rights:
New Hampshire tractor trailer accidents have myriad causes depending on the circumstances and drivers involved. Trucks are very large in size and can be carrying cargo that is heavy and/or hazardous in nature. Due to their large size, trucks need more clearance and braking room and can pose a significant hazard to pedestrians and passengers of smaller vehicles who are no match for a tractor-trailer. Truck accident risk factors include inclement weather, overloaded or improperly balanced cargo, dangerous roadways, and driver error. Challenged by long work days and pressured to get their cargo to its destination quickly, some truck drivers make poor mistakes or operate on a basis of sleep deprivation and exhaustion. Too often, poor training and exhaustion can lead to devastating results.
The consequences of a New Hampshire semi truck accident aren’t just catastrophic for a vehicle – they can cause severe injuries in victims that range from minor scrapes and bruises to paralysis, brain injury, disfigurement, burns, and even death. Treatment can be expensive and ongoing and can disrupt the victim’s ability to work and lead a healthy, happy life. Though victims are able to sue the negligent party for money to compensate for their injuries in civil court, they often decline to do so when they are offered an insurance settlement by the trucking carrier’s insurer. This can be a big mistake, as these settlements are often superficial and are designed to appease victims without paying for the ongoing costs of care.
