Our Legal Team Can Help You File Your Case for Compensation on Time

If you were in a truck accident, you will want to sue the liable party or parties as quickly as possible. The primary reason for this is that the statute of limitations bars people who file their lawsuit late from pursuing compensation.

According to Ohio Revised Code § 2305.10, you generally have two years to take legal action against the liable party.

In addition, it is often easier to collect evidence (e.g., witness statements and surveillance footage) when your accident is still recent. If you wait too long, people who saw the accident may forget important details, and other types of evidence may be destroyed.

Know Which Damages Entitle You to Compensation

Your accident may entitle you to two types of compensation: economic damages and non-economic damages.

Economic damages will reimburse you for financial losses inflicted by:

  • Medical costs: You sought any type of medical treatment or assistance to deal with your injuries.
  • Repair costs: You had to fix or replace your car due to collision-related damage.
  • Loss of wages: Because of your injuries, you were unable to go to work and earn your usual salary and benefits.

Non-economic damages will reimburse you for physical and mental stressors inflicted by:

  • Scarring: The accident left you with disfiguring or painful marks.
  • Pain and suffering: Your injuries were physically and psychologically distressing.
  • Disability: Your injuries resulted in a permanent physical or mental disability.

Truck Accident Cases That Involve a Loved One’s Death

If your truck accident resulted in your loved one’s death, you may be able to pursue compensation for damages caused by their passing, such as:

  • Funeral expenses: You had to pay for funeral services to lay your loved one to rest. This can also apply to costs for cremation services.
  • Loss of financial support: Your loved one passed away from their accident injuries, unexpectedly depriving you of their income.
  • Loss of companionship: You lost a loved one in the crash, severing the bond of mutual affection and support that the two of you shared.

We Can Investigate Who Might Be Held Liable for Your Truck Accident Damages

T-bone accidents, also known as side collisions, occur when one vehicle hits the side of another. Therefore, if you were involved in a T-bone truck accident, you were in one of two positions:

  • The truck hit you: You had the right of way, but the truck kept going anyway, blowing through a stop sign or another signal as you were crossing in front of them.
  • You hit the truck: You had the right of way when the truck suddenly crossed in front of you, not giving you time to stop and prevent a collision.

However, liability is assigned to whose negligence caused the accident, not which side you were on. Our legal team can investigate your case to identify who and what caused your accident, which might involve identifying other liable parties and contributing causal factors.

Potentially Liable Parties in Truck Accident Cases

Besides the truck driver, other parties might be held liable for your damages if their negligence contributed to the accident or if they bear responsibility over the truck driver.

For example, other liable parties may include:

  • The trucking company if they employ the truck driver
  • The maintenance company if improper truck maintenance caused a vehicle malfunction in the truck and your accident
  • The truck manufacturing company if the truck experienced vehicle malfunctions because of a faulty part or vehicle design
  • A third party who contributed to the accident, such as another passenger vehicle driver

If your case involves multiple liable parties, we may be able to pursue compensation from each party.

Truck Accident Causes

How do these types of accidents happen, and how can they be prevented? Truck accidents are often the result of driver carelessness, such as:

  • Ignoring traffic signs
  • Drowsy driving
  • Speeding
  • Distracted driving

Non-driver-related reasons for truck accidents include:

  • Poor roadway maintenance
  • Poor truck maintenance
  • Defective truck parts

In many cases, there is more than one reason for the accident. This is why hiring a lawyer to conduct an independent investigation on your behalf is so important.

When we looked into seeking representation after my son's car accident we did not know anybody who had experience with as an attorney with car wrecks. So we looked online at all the firms that specialize in auto accidents, then by using as our criteria the reviews we selected The Fitch Law firm. Right from the start they were extremely helpful .  They explained how the process would go based on our specifics of the accident and then basically did all the work to file a claim and get all that we were entitled to. Working with Becky and Kirstin was perfect, they kept us informed every step of the way and if we had questions they had time to explain them making sure we understood each time. Our case was not a high dollar amount but they still offered above average service and looked out for us like it was. I highly recommend The Fitch Law firm without hesitation.

Our experience with the Fitch Law Firm was incredible. We worked with Kirstin, and she's really gone above and beyond for us. I cannot recommend them highly enough. After our car accident, we were so overwhelmed by the insurance companies, and Kirstin made everything so easy for us. We never would have gotten such a good settlement without her. They seem to really care about their clients, and they are very responsive. They worked hard to answer our questions thoroughly and in a timely manner.

I was involved in an accident as the passenger of the responsible party during Feb. of 2020. I completed physical therapy in June of the same year. I worked with a firm that was not as responsive as I would have liked, so I sought representation elsewhere to ensure the claim was handled correctly. I couldn’t have been more fortunate to task The Fitch Law Firm with this case. Associate attorney Kirstin Peterson was assigned to my case, and I couldn’t have asked for someone so thorough, professional, responsive and down right genuinely caring than her. There were some unforeseen obstacles, but throughout my doubts she maintained consistent in reassuring me she was doing everything she could to make sure things were going as smoothly as possible. I highly recommend this firm and having nothing but more than positive things to say about the associate attorney assigned to my case. Thank you so much Fitch Law Firm, and Kirstin Peterson. You guys are extraordinary in what you do!

I was in a car accident on 10/21/2018 that was not my fault. I googled different accident laywers. And came across the fitch law firm. From the first time i walked thru the doors mr fitch and becky made me feel at ease. Mr fitch thought my case woukd be good to take on. The other parties insurance was extremely difficult to deal with.and i can say mr fitch represented me well. And Becky checked in on me and kept me updated on the case. Its been 2 years and my case finally settled i was ok with the amount given. And i will use the fitch law firm again if ever needed.
