We Handle All Sorts of Truck Accident Cases

Do you need to look far and wide for a personal injury law firm that can handle your truck accident case because the circumstances of the crash were unique? Not at all. At Kentucky Injury Law Center, we have an eclectic team of attorneys on staff. No matter why your truck accident happened or the injuries that it caused, you can trust us to effectively manage your case.

We can help clients who have been hurt in:

  • Jackknife accidents: When a tractor-trailer comes to a sudden stop, it can cause the trailer behind the cab to swing forward and to the side of that cab. The result is that the truck folds almost like a jackknife. During the crash, the swinging trailer might hit vehicles in adjacent lanes.
  • Underride accidents: If a smaller vehicle gets stuck underneath a truck’s trailer while it is in motion, it is an underride accident. Many underride accidents happen because a truck changes lanes or merges without verifying first that no smaller vehicle is in the way.
  • Rear-end accidents: Commercial trucks take much longer to come to a stop than smaller vehicles. If a truck driver is not paying attention to traffic, then they might rear-end stopped vehicles on the road ahead.
  • Rollover accidents: An overloaded trailer can tip over while the truck is turning or due to a sudden gust of wind. The result can be a rollover accident that crushes smaller vehicles in the next adjacent lane.
  • Cargo accidents: Poorly loaded cargo on or in a trailer can come loose and fall into the road, putting other motorists in danger of being struck by those objects. The truck driver might not even be aware that the cargo has fallen off, complicating the situation further.

Is the Trucking Company Liable?

You can probably name the truck driver as a defendant in your claim. But what about the trucking company that employed them?

The legal rule of respondeat superior makes an employer liable for the negligence of its employees in some situations. If the truck driver who hit you was an employee, not an independent contractor, then you might be able to also name the trucking company as a defendant. In doing so, the potential for your claim to secure the most compensation before hitting insurance caps will be improved.
