Compensation You May Be Entitled to After an Accident With a DHL Truck
It is important to fight for all the damages that can be recovered in a personal injury case, and that is what your DHL truck accident lawyer in Laughlin will do. The accident will likely leave you with serious injuries and medical bills that can empty your savings. While you recover, you lose income. You may have property damage or face other accident-related expenses.
Accidents have emotional consequences, too. The event itself can cause trauma. Then, there is the anxiety and depression that can follow physical pain. You may feel isolated if unable to work, socialize, or engage in recreational activities you typically enjoyed. We will account for every loss when calculating your compensation demand.
Our team does not want you to settle for less. You can expect our skilled negotiators to fight for a fair settlement. Still, if the other side will not engage productively or offer a fair amount, we will be prepared to fight for justice before a judge and jury.
Our “Courtroom Proven. Client Praised” tagline is not just a slogan. It is an accurate statement of what we do and why we do it.
A DHL Truck Accident Lawyer in Laughlin Can Investigate to Identify the Negligent Party
Securing a settlement or trial award depends on proving the at-fault party’s negligence caused the accident and your damages. A critical first step is finding out exactly who the at–fault party is.
Your Laughlin DHL truck accident attorney from H&P Law will get to work on this investigation as soon as you enter a partnership. The potentially responsible parties in a truck accident include:
- The DHL truck operator: Drivers make mistakes and can easily be distracted by looking for delivery locations. They may speed or cut safety corners to stay on schedule or exceed the legal hours on duty. Resulting fatigue could lead to a crash.
- The DHL company: If the DHL truck operator is a full company employee, the company may be liable for accidents caused by the driver’s negligence. They are also liable if other company negligence contributed to the crash.
- The vehicle manufacturer, mechanics, or inspectors: Accidents resulting from vehicle defects could put culpability on the manufacturer. Inspectors who fail to take unsafe vehicles off the road, or mechanics who fail to make proper repairs, can also be liable.
- Truck loaders: The DHL fleet includes semi-trucks. Improperly loaded cargo can lead to truck imbalances, and overloaded trucks can be hard to control. Cargo loaders must abide by regulations for loading methods, cargo securements, and truck weight.
- A third–party driver: Another driver could perform an unsafe action, causing the crash. Our team has the resources and experience to work through multi-vehicle accidents and find out who owes you compensation.
- A government agency: If an inoperative traffic signal, poor road conditions, or other aspect of travel under government oversight caused the accident, your claim may be against that respective agency.
All parties involved in the upkeep and operation of commercial vehicles must maintain compliance with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations.
We know how these regulations apply to your case and will bring to light any acts of non-compliance that contributed to your crash.
A Prompt Legal Partnership Serves Your Best Interests
Nevada’s limitations of actions statute imposes a two–year deadline for filing most truck accident or other injury claims. To support your fight for a favorable claim outcome, connect with a DHL truck accident attorney in Laughlin long before that date approaches. Once you have attended to your medical needs, your next call should be to an attorney.
The amount and quality of your evidence play a major role in your claim’s success. Evidence collection is much more productive when carried out soon after the accident.
Information can get lost or erased. Witnesses may move away and not leave contact information, or their memories may simply fade as time passes.
Your lawyer will also take over talking to representatives after a truck accident. We know what to say and what not to say to the at-fault party’s insurance adjusters or attorneys. By speaking for you, we protect you from saying things that could accidentally damage your claim.
Nevada’s Negligence Laws
Evidence protects your right to file a claim and can prevent you from seeing an unfair reduction in compensation. Under the system of comparative negligence in Nevada, you can file for damages provided you are less than 50% to blame for the accident. The other side will try to inflate your blame to avoid paying you back for your losses.
Even if you meet this threshold, you can still see a compensation reduction if you hold a lower percentage of blame. If assigned 20% of the fault, you can only collect 80% of the calculated compensation amount. The stronger your evidence, the better your chances of getting true financial justice.
