Truck Accidents: Legal Recourse for Victims of Negligence
Introduction: Truck accidents can have devastating consequences, often resulting in serious injuries, fatalities, and significant property damage. Due to the size and weight disparity between commercial trucks and passenger vehicles, collisions involving trucks can be particularly catastrophic. If you've been involved in a truck accident, it's crucial to understand your legal rights and options for seeking compensation. At the Law Offices of Deron Freeman, we specialize in representing victims of truck accidents and are dedicated to providing expert legal guidance and representation. In this blog, we'll discuss the legal recourse available to victims of truck accidents and how our firm can help you pursue justice and compensation.
Understanding Truck Accident Liability: Truck accidents can occur for various reasons, including driver error, mechanical failures, and unsafe road conditions. Determining liability in a truck accident case can be complex, as multiple parties may be responsible, including the truck driver, trucking company, maintenance contractors, and manufacturers. Deron Freeman and his team have extensive experience investigating truck accidents and holding negligent parties accountable for their actions.
Common Causes of Truck Accidents: Some of the most common causes of truck accidents include:
Driver fatigue or drowsiness
Speeding or reckless driving
Distracted driving, such as texting or using a cell phone
Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
Improperly loaded or overloaded cargo
Inadequate maintenance or mechanical defects
Seeking Compensation for Damages: Victims of truck accidents may be entitled to compensation for a variety of damages, including medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, property damage, and in cases of wrongful death, funeral and burial expenses.

Our firm understands the financial and emotional toll that truck accidents can take on victims and their families, and we are dedicated to helping them rebuild their lives.
