Under Ohio law, the person determined to be at fault is responsible for compensating the injured person for damages. However, as the injured person, you must be able to prove that someone else caused the losses you suffered, which can be a legally tricky proposition.
Several parties may be liable for a truck accident, including the truck driver, trucking company, parts manufacturer, or laborer. A trucking company may be responsible if maintenance issues caused a truck owned or leased by them to crash. Additionally, if a trucking company forced a driver to exceed hours of service regulations or hired individuals who they did not have the proper training and experience, they could also be held liable.
If you sue a trucking company in an accident caused by their driver, the company may attempt to settle a claim quickly and avoid a thorough investigation.
Truck accident-related injuries frequently include:

Fight for Everything You’re Owed
Those injured in large commercial truck accidents in Ohio often endure serious injuries with lengthy recovery periods, hospitalization, surgeries, and physical therapy. You shouldn’t bear the financial burden if another party caused your accident and injuries.
After an Ohio truck accident, you may be entitled to compensation for your:
Coming up with a figure for these may seem simple, but issues like pain and suffering or disability and disfigurement are not based on receipts. The value of these elements depends on the accident itself, where and when the accident took place, the mental and emotional impact of the crash, how your injuries have changed your life in the long run, and more.
An experienced personal injury attorney can work with experts to determine all of your damages and recognize when you receive a lowball insurance settlement offer.
Often, the insurance firm that covers the commercial trucking operation that is likely at fault will want to offer you a settlement as soon as possible following a trucking accident. Many victims of accidents involving commercial tractor-trailers may be tempted to settle early to avoid the complications of a lawsuit. However, that may result in less compensation than is fair or appropriate.
In most circumstances, the initial offer is low and not the amount you need to be fully compensated for your injuries. An attorney will not only recognize an offer that is too low but will also have the skills to negotiate a higher final settlement. Whether you settle your claim or file a lawsuit, your trucking accident attorney can ensure your best interests are represented through the process.
Sometimes, it is impossible to gain full compensation from an insurer. The responsible party may be uninsured, the insurance company might deny your claim, or the policy limit could be lower than the amount you need. In these situations, you will need to head to court to seek compensation for your property damage and injuries.
During a personal injury lawsuit, your attorney will use a variety of types of evidence to prove to the court that the other party was negligent and that this negligence led to the crash that caused your injuries. Your attorney will seek a verdict from the court or jury that will fairly compensate you for your injuries.
