How Do Truck Accidents Happen?

On the surface, the cause of a truck accident might seem simple: a truck driver lost control and hit you. When diving into the details of the situation, though, the case might become quickly complicated. Part of our role as your truck accident attorneys will be to navigate everything for you, get to the truth, and find evidence that shows how you weren’t to blame for the life-changing crash.

Depending on the result of our investigation, we might uncover many forms of negligence that contributed to the crash. Furthermore, if there are many forms of negligence that cause a truck accident, then it might mean that there are multiple defendants that we must file against.

Common causes of truck accidents can include:

  • Truck driver is distracted, intoxicated, or exhausted behind the wheel.
  • Truck driver breaks the speed limit to complete a route faster.
  • Truck is not maintained properly, leading to a mechanical failure.
  • Truck is not loaded properly, overweighting or misbalancing the truck.
  • Truck company did not properly vet a new driver who is not qualified for the job.

Severe Injuries Caused by Truck Accidents

A commercial truck can weigh up to 80,000 pounds in most situations. This massive amount of weight gives the truck a huge amount of momentum and force, especially when traveling at highway speeds. When a crash occurs, the worst of the impact will be imparted on the smaller, lighter vehicle. For this reason, truck accident cases normally involve catastrophic injuries. Indeed, at McGinn Montoya Love & Curry, we dedicate our representation to truck accident claimants who have suffered severe and life-changing injuries because they need our help more than anyone.

Our firm can help clients who have suffered severe injuries in truck accidents, such as:

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Amputations
  • Third-degree burns
  • Soft tissue injuries
  • Permanent disfigurements

Significant Compensation Owed to You

If you have been severely injured in a truck accident, then the compensation that you deserve could be significant. With that said, you can also expect that the defendant, insurance company, and opposing counsel will not be fine with the idea of you getting so much compensation. They will fight at every step and in whatever way they can.

Get your truck accident claim ready with our legal team leading the way. You never know which case will go to court. For this reason, we take the time to prepare every case for trial. This early preparation has proven crucial in the past for getting an advantage over the opposition, and your case deserves every advantage that it can get, especially when so much money might be hanging in the balance.

  • Past and future medical costs
  • Past and future lost or reduced income
  • Pain, suffering, and hardship
  • Vehicle repair or replacement

Albuquerque Truck Accident FAQ

Who is liable for a truck accident?

The liable parties or defendants in a truck accident case can vary. On the other side of the case might be the truck driver and their insurance provider, the trucking company, a truck part manufacturer, the company that loaded the cargo, or another party related to the industry.

How do I find a truck accident lawyer that fits my case?

You should feel free to ask our truck accident attorneys as many questions as you want during a no-cost initial consultation to get a feel for our team and representation. We understand if you would like to talk to other law firms before making a decision. However, we have a feeling that you will choose us due to our personalities, commitment to other locals in Albuquerque, and winning record for catastrophic injury cases. We have personally handled some of the largest and most complicated truck accident cases in New Mexico.

What happens if I partially caused the truck accident?

New Mexico is one of a few states that use pure comparative negligence rules. Under this liability rule, you can file a truck accident claim if you are less than 100% liable for the crash. You could be 99% liable and still have the right to start a claim. Although, the higher your liability, the more challenging a case will be and the more your compensation will be reduced if any is secured.
