Falls Church, with its proximity to Washington, D.C., is part of a major shipping hub, with hundreds of semi-trucks cruising the highways and interstates around the city each day. These commercial vehicles can weigh up to 80,000 pounds fully loaded, and when they collide with a much smaller car or SUV, the passengers inside come off much worse for the wear. In fact, the chances of suffering a life-changing injury in a semi crash is high. Many people may face a long recovery, and medical bills add up quickly.

How Can A Falls Church Truck Accident Lawyer Help?
Commercial truck accidents can become more complicated than other types of claims. First, these cases are often high-value due to the extent of the victim’s injuries. Second, they can take longer to settle than other types of cases, as many lawyers wait for the victim to reach maximum medical improvement to get a better picture of the value of the claim.
Commercial vehicle accidents may also involve multiple defendants, such as the driver and their employer or the party responsible for safely loading the cargo to prevent accidents. This means that your lawyer must build multiple cases of negligence, which takes resources that not every firm has. We do, and we have the legal experience necessary to litigate even the toughest truck accident cases.
Compensation Available In Truck Accident Claims
If you were injured too badly to continue on the job you had before the wreck, you’re entitled to compensation for past, present, and future medical care, as well as lost wages and loss of earning potential.
You can also demand fair compensation for the pain and suffering from your injuries and the emotional trauma of being hit by a semi. In some cases, our lawyers may also demand punitive damages, which are punishing in nature, if we determine that the driver, trucking company, or other party was especially negligent and careless about the safety of other people on the road.
