Types of Compensation a Spartanburg Amazon Truck Accident Lawyer Can Pursue
Your losses from a commercial truck accident may differ from those of other victims in the same crash. Your injuries may be more severe or your car may be totaled. Our Spartanburg personal injury lawyer will help you through the process of completing and filing a claim for compensation that addresses all of your losses. The following types of damages are typically included in a compensation claim:
- Medical costs, such as emergency room visit, hospital stay, surgery, labs, diagnostics, medication, treatment, rehabilitation, therapy, and transportation to and from appointments
- Future medical treatment expenses
- Property repair or replacement for a vehicle or a phone or other property damaged in the crash
- Income lost during your recovery
- Reduced earning capacity, if your injuries alter your ability to work at your pre-accident pay level
- Loss of future earnings and benefits if your injuries prevent your return to work
- Pain and suffering brought on by the physical and mental trauma of the accident
- Loss of quality of life
- Loss of enjoyment in life
- Loss of companionship
- Disability or disfigurement
Meet with our attorneys to assess your financial, physical, and emotional losses.
Establishing Negligence to Identify Liability in Your Amazon Truck Accident Claim
Investigating the accident to determine its cause and establish negligence is a critical step toward recovering financial compensation. You and your legal team may uncover evidence proving negligence by:
- Speaking with eyewitnesses
- Reviewing photos of the accident scene
- Looking at CCTV footage of the accident
- Reconstructing the accident
- Reviewing the truck maintenance records and commercial driver’s logbook
- Collecting information from the truck’s electronic logging device, or little black box
- Determining if any federal or state trucking regulations were violated
These and other investigative tools may be used to confirm the cause of the accident. We then look at proving the four elements of negligence:
- The at-fault party had a duty to use reasonable care to avoid harming others.
- The at-fault party breached that duty with actions or inactions that created risk of harm.
- The breach of duty caused the accident and your injury, and because of this you suffered losses.
Financial Liability
Once we determine the cause of your accident and the negligent party, we will identify who is liable for your damages. If a defective part caused the truck to veer into oncoming traffic, it may be that the manufacturer of that part is liable.
However, if the driver was operating the truck while impaired, we would believe the driver was negligent, but who is financially responsible for your losses can require a closer look. If the driver was an independent contractor, perhaps only the driver is liable. If the driver was working for a Delivery Service Partner (DSP), perhaps the DSP is liable, or maybe Amazon and the DSP are liable.
Working with one of our Spartanburg Amazon truck accident attorneys who is experienced in trucking regulations can be beneficial when pursuing a full and fair compensation claim.
Understanding the Legal Time Limits for Filing a Truck Accident Lawsuit
After your claim for compensation is filed, we will negotiate with the insurance company for a fair settlement. Most of the time, the claim is resolved at this stage but if an agreement cannot be reached, you may have to file a personal injury lawsuit against the defendant. Our legal team will represent you in court as we seek the compensation verdict or judgment you deserve.
According to S.C. Ann. § 15-3-530, you generally have three years from the date of your accident to begin legal action. If you miss the deadline, you may miss the opportunity to recover monetary compensation for your losses.
