Semi-Truck Accidents vs. Car Accidents: Understanding the Higher Stakes and How Sears Injury Law Navigates the Complexities

Gig Harbor, WA - In road accidents, the weight and size of a semi-truck can turn a collision into a catastrophic event. Unlike car accidents, semi-truck crashes have higher financial stakes, multiple parties, and complex legal issues. Sears Injury Law can intervene to handle the intricacies that come with Semi Truck Accidents

Liability in a car accident involves drivers of vehicles involved in a crash and their insurance companies. In semi-truck accidents, the truck driver, the company, the trailer/truck owner, manufacturers, maintenance providers, and cargo loaders can be found liable. Car drivers are often subject to state traffic laws compared to semi-trucks, which are regulated by state and federal laws. 

Personal injury attorneys easily negotiate for victims in the claims process as insurance policies in car accidents have lower limits. However, commercial truck companies have high-value insurance policies, making them more aggressive in defending against claims to deny or downplay payouts. Hence, an attorney may need strategic approaches, undergo prolonged legal battles, and pursue teams of lawyers/adjusters who dispute liability. 

Beyond that, Washington operates under a comparative fault system where the injured victims and other parties may share the accident’s fault. These factors make semi-truck accident cases challenging, requiring legal expertise to navigate regulations, liability, and insurance issues. 

Sears Injury Law comprises seasoned attorneys and staff who recognize the tenets of semi-truck injuries and are passionate about holding negligent parties accountable for their actions. The firm helps victims seek damages for medical expenses, funeral costs, lost wages, loss of consortium, pain and suffering, psychological trauma, and more.

By enlisting a semi-truck and car accident lawyer, victims gain the support of a skilled negotiator well-versed in the deceptive tactics insurance companies employ in and out of court.

The team believes in representing victims’ interests in the fight against corporations and government by leveling the playing field with compassionate yet aggressive methods. The goal is to take the stress and paperwork from the victim so they can focus on recovery.
