What Should I Do If I Am In A Crash With An ATS Truck?*

If you have been involved in a car accident with a delivery truck, you have most likely experienced serious damages. You have suffered physical injuries, which are going to result in medical expenses and time off from work, but you will also suffer damages to your vehicle as well.

You might be able to recover your losses by filing a personal injury claim against the liable party. Consult with a personal injury lawyer right away to ensure your rights are protected throughout the claims process.

Determining Fault Following a Commercial Truck Accident

Because a commercial truck's size is significantly larger than a traditional vehicle, the damages are usually much worse than you would see from a regular car accident. For a successful personal injury claim after a commercial truck accident, you have to prove that ATS or whoever is at fault so they are liable for the damages suffered.

If you are in a state where comparative negligence is used, you can still receive compensation if you were partially to blame but the settlement amount will be reduced by the percentage of fault you are credited for the commercial truck crash.

Ensure your rights are protected. Consult with a commercial truck accident injury attorney who can help you get the compensation you deserve for your damages. Your attorney will conduct a thorough investigation into the crash to determine what went wrong and to uncover any acts of negligence involved, showing that ATS or whoever responsible were to blame.

During the investigation, your attorney will want to determine what exactly happened and if the accident could have been avoided.

Examples of Negligent Acts Causing Truck Crashes:

  • Distracted Driving - Texting while driving or trying to read documents while driving.
  • Fatigued Driving - Driving too many hours or driving when you are too tired to function properly.
  • Mechanical Failure - This can be caused by inadequate maintenance and faulty truck parts.
  • Reckless Driving - Driving too fast or not adhering to traffic laws.

You might be eligible to recover damages through a personal injury claim if the delivery truck driver performed any negligent act while driving and it caused the crash. Consult with a personal injury lawyer today to see if you can seek damages.

Collisions Involving Delivery Trucks

If you have suffered damages in a commercial trucking accident, a personal injury claim might help you recover damages. Because dealing with an insurance company after an accident can be very complicated, you cannot get the maximum results if you try to go the claims process alone.

To ensure your rights are protected and to get the maximum compensation for your damages possible, consult with a personal injury attorney right away.
