Pursuing Recovery Following a Truck Accident

Truck collisions can take many different forms, such as jackknife accidents, override accidents, head-on collisions, rear-end collisions, and rollover accidents. In addition to the many different types of truck crashes, there is a plethora of reasons as to why these accidents occur, such as speeding, driving while fatigued, and poor vehicle maintenance. For example, a trucking collision could happen on Interstate 55 near Saint Francis Medical Center – located at 211 St Francis Drive, Cape Girardeau, Missouri 63703 – because a tanker truck driver was speeding while the road was wet, which caused him to hydroplane and collide into other vehicles when he slammed on his brakes.

After being injured in a trucking collision in either Cape Girardeau County or Scott County, you may be able to recover compensatory damages for your injuries and losses stemming from the accident. In order to obtain a recovery, you will likely have to establish negligence, which can be done by showing that your injuries were directly caused by the defendant breaching a duty of reasonable care that he owed you. If you retain an experienced truck accident attorney in the Cape Girardeau area, you may even be able to hold the truck driver’s employer liable. For instance, the trucking company may be held vicariously liable for the trucker’s conduct if you can prove that the truck driver was acting within the course and scope of employment. Your attorney can also investigate whether the truck driver or trucking company violated rules set forth by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).

The focus of your case can shift to damages once liability has been established. If the injuries you sustained from the collision resulted in you accumulating medical bills, for example, due to the rehabilitation you had to undergo at Southeast Missouri Hospital, which is located at 1701 Lacey Street, Cape Girardeau, Missouri 63701, you can be awarded economic damages. Monetary losses, such as lost wages and medical bills, are compensated for by economic damages, while non-economic damages are awarded for abstract losses caused by an accident, such as loss of enjoyment of life, pain and suffering, disfigurement, and loss of consortium.
