Types of Truck Accidents in Virginia

Truck accidents are not exclusive to 18-wheelers found on highways. Some trucks that you might see involved in accidents include:

Dump trucks
Moving trucks
Tow trucks
Large trucks with flammable liquids
Cement trucks
Horse trailers hauled by semis
Farming trucks
Refrigerated 18-wheelers

Some of these trucks are specific to certain geographic areas. Many of these trucks are on interstates and highways, and others are seen on residential roads and side streets. Our Virginia truck accident lawyer handles various truck accident cases.

Elements of Truck Accident Investigations

Investigating how the crash occurred is among the most vital steps we will take when handling your case. It is incumbent upon victims to prove that a negligent party caused their injuries. One of the first steps in an investigation is to determine whose negligence contributed to the collision. This can include:

Truck driver
Trucking company
Mechanic
Manufacturer
Truck owner

Sometimes multiple parties on this list are responsible for the collision. The more parties at fault, the more independent investigations may occur. Other aspects of a truck accident investigation include:

Obtaining a police report
Going to the scene to collect evidence
Interviewing witnesses
Inspecting the vehicles involved
Reviewing medical records
Looking at the truck driver and company records

A thorough investigation will significantly impact your injury claim. Our Virginia truck accident lawyer has years of experience investigating these cases.

Potential Damages From Truck Accidents

After our Virginia truck accident attorney completes their investigation, they will also calculate damages that apply to your case. This process will take negotiation skills and legal knowledge. Victims can recover damages such as:

Rehabilitation costs
Medical bills related to the crash
Physical therapy expenses
Ambulance and hospital bills
Lost wages
Vehicle and property damage
Ongoing or specialized care
Pain and suffering

Many other damages can apply to your case. Surviving families will have different processes and damages they can seek when a loved one dies. Discuss your circumstances with a Virginia truck accident attorney.

Is there a cap on how much compensation I can receive?

There is no cap on damages in most personal injury cases. But there is a cap on damages in medical malpractice cases.

There is also a cap on punitive damages.

Your personal injury lawyer should pursue the full and fair value of what was taken from your health and quality of life.

What makes RVA Personal Injury Lawyers different?

Sharif Gray has won millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements, and he is known for taking cases to trial.

We are not settlement lawyers. We are committed to trying cases well. Because of that, we do not handle hundreds of cases at a time. We are selective in the cases we take so we can get justice for the people we represent.

How much is our Attorney’s Fee?

Nothing until we win your case.

We work on a contingency fee basis, which means that we don’t get paid unless you get paid.

If we resolve your case before filing a lawsuit, we charge a fee of up to 33.33% of the recovery. After a lawsuit is filed, we may charge a fee of up to 40% of the recovery.
