Injuries on the job can leave truck drivers facing painful recovery, costly medical bills, and lost wages. Whether it’s a minor accident or something more severe, dealing with insurance companies and at-fault parties can be frustrating. Handling an injury claim on your own often means settling for less than what you deserve. At Long Haul Law, we fight tirelessly to secure maximum compensation for your injuries, lost income, and pain and suffering.
When you hire Long Haul Law, you’re not just getting a lawyer – you’re getting a team committed to winning your case. Here’s how we’ll handle your claim:
First, seek medical attention immediately, even if you don’t feel hurt right away. Report the accident to your employer, document the scene with photos and witness statements (if possible), and avoid making statements to insurance companies before speaking with an attorney. Contact Long Haul Law as soon as possible to protect your rights.
Yes, you may still be eligible for compensation even if you were partially at fault. Many states follow comparative negligence laws, which means your compensation may be reduced based on your percentage of fault. Our attorneys can evaluate your case and fight to maximize your recovery.
Truck drivers injured in accidents may be entitled to compensation for: medical bills (current and future), lost wages and loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering, disability or disfigurement, rehabilitation and therapy costs, property damage (such as repairs to your truck or lost belongings).
The time limit, or statute of limitations varies by state. In many cases, you have two to three years from the date of the accident to file a claim. However, deadlines can differ based on specific circumstances, so it’s crucial to contact Long Haul Law as soon as possible to ensure you don’t miss your window for compensation.
Filing an injury claim should not impact your employment. If you are covered by workers’ compensation, your employer cannot legally retaliate against you for seeking benefits. If your injury was caused by a third party (such as another driver or a defective truck part), pursuing a claim against them will not involve your employer. Our attorneys can help you understand your rights and ensure your job is protected.
