Trucking Company Insurance for Bodily Injury

Federal law requires interstate commercial trucks and other vehicles to have bodily injury liability insurance. This insurance pays accident victims amounts a trucking company is legally obligated to pay them for injuries and related costs. The amount of the payment to the victim included compensation for the following:

Hospital and medical bills
Rehabilitation
Long-term nursing care
Funeral expenses
Lost earnings
Pain and suffering
Other damages

In most cases, bodily injury coverage also pays for the trucking company's legal defense if the company is sued by an accident victim. This means that the accident victim is up against the insurance company's legal team. Contact our lawyers to ask about our experience negotiating with insurance companies to win full and adequate compensation for our clients.

Some of Our Accident Insurance Settlements

Car Hit by Truck Debris - $2,850,000 on behalf of the family of a man who was killed when his vehicle was struck by debris from a truck. These cases can involve a tire (wheel) coming off of a truck or freight flying out of trailers. In some cases, a company involved in the maintenance of the tractor or trailer and/or a company that loaded the freight can be pursued for money damages to compensate injured people and the families of people who died. In all of these cases, the companies' insurance companies will ultimately be the payor of the money to the wrongful death victim's family.

Tractor-Trailer Crash Settlement for TBI and Serious Fractures - $2,560,000 recovery for husband and wife whose vehicle was hit by a semi-tractor-trailer rig and then collided at highway speed with an SUV. The husband sustained traumatic brain injury (TBI) and orthopedic injuries, and his wife suffered orthopedic injuries. In some cases, it is necessary to hire accident reconstruction specialists. In this case our tractor trailer accident lawyers used an accident reconstruction video to provide evidence that the tractor trailer driver was negligent.

Father and Husband Died in a Truck Accident - $2,000,000 on behalf of the heirs of a 37 year-old male who was killed when his delivery truck was rear ended at high speed by a truck. Our experience is that tractor-trailer rear end collisions are the most common type of tractor-trailer accident leading to serious injury and death. Construction zones are common locations for this type of accident.

Pedestrian Hit by a Tractor-Trailer while Assisting with an Accident - $1,700,000 on behalf of a 42 year-old man who was run over by s semi-tractor truck as the man stood beside the road while assisting another motorist who crashed in an earlier accident. The victim sustained a number of fractures and internal injuries from which he never fully recovered.

Man in Wheel Chair Injured in Truck-Pedestrian Crash - $1,536,921 on behalf of a 36 year-old man whose wheel chair was struck by a truck as the man tried to cross a busy road. He used a motorized chair due to pre-existing rheumatoid arthritis. The crash resulted in a hip fracture that required surgery and caused the man to lose additional function.

Failure to Stop and Serious Head Injury - $1,225,666 on behalf of a 50 year-old female who sustained serious head injury and traumatic brain injury (TBI). The accident happened at a rural intersection when the work vehicle ran through a stop sign.
