Common Types of Truck Accidents in Tacoma
How your collision occurred can determine which records and other evidence may be relevant. Jackknife crashes, rear-end impacts, rollovers, sideswipes, wide-turn collisions, backing crashes, underride collisions, and intersection impacts can each raise different questions about driver conduct, visibility, braking, cargo securement, lane position, and road conditions.
Different crash scenarios can produce different kinds of evidence. A rear-end impact involving a tractor-trailer may call for a review of following distance, speed, and braking information, while a rollover may raise questions about cargo loading or securement. Determining whether the crash was an underride collision, sideswipe, T-bone impact at an intersection, or another event helps frame the liability analysis and communications with insurers and other parties.

I am very Lucky to have found Ian De Verna for my attorney. I was injured in a car accident and while Ian was working on my case I was hit by someone again. This time the person had no insurance I was injured again and my brand new car was totaled. Being injured again I was pretty scared but thankfully Ian took on this case for uninsured motorist against my insurance company as well. It was a challenge I am sure but Ian and his staff were very professional and caring the whole time. With all Ian's hard work he was able to get policy limits for both cases. Ian is not only good at his profession but truly cares about his clients and works very hard with his great group of people at Becker Franklin Rovang Injury office

Frequently Asked Questions
What Steps Should I Take Immediately After a Truck Accident?
Move to a safe area if you can do so safely, call 911, and seek medical attention. Document the scene with photographs when possible, gather witness contact information, and report the crash. Follow medical advice and keep records of treatment. Consider speaking with a truck accident lawyer before giving a recorded statement to an insurer.
How Is Fault Determined in Truck Accidents?
Fault depends on the available evidence and the circumstances of the collision. Relevant information may include the driver’s conduct, vehicle condition, maintenance and inspection records, driver logs, photographs, witness accounts, vehicle data, and transportation requirements. More than one party may share responsibility, so the liability analysis can be more involved than in a typical passenger-vehicle crash.
What Compensation May Be Available After a Truck Accident?
Depending on the facts and applicable law, a claim may seek medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost income, reduced earning capacity, property damage, and non-economic losses such as pain and suffering. The available damages depend on the injuries, their effect on daily life and work, insurance coverage, liability, and other case-specific circumstances.
