Truck Accidents
Commercial trucks and 18-wheelers carry far more risk than passenger vehicles, and a crash with one can be devastating. Truck accident lawyer PJ Campanaro helps victims pursue full, fair compensation for their injuries and losses.
A Skilled Truck Accident Lawyer In Evans, Georgia
Compensation can cover the significant medical bills and expenses that truck accidents cause. From her firm in Evans, attorney Campanaro brings over 20 years of experience to these traumatic situations.
Common Reasons For Truck Accidents
Commercial trucks can weigh up to 80,000 pounds. They are difficult to maneuver, have wider turning radii and much larger blind spots, cannot stop as quickly as passenger vehicles and are more affected by wind and rain. Drivers often work long hours on tight deadlines and may be fatigued. All of these factors make large trucks more likely to be involved in serious accidents.
What Compensation Is Available?
- Economic damages: Medical bills, prescriptions, physical therapy, vehicle repairs and lost wages.
- Noneconomic damages: Emotional pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, fear and anxiety.
- Wrongful death damages: Lost income, medical and funeral costs, and pain and suffering when a loved one is killed.
- Punitive damages: Less common, but available when there was willful misconduct or malice.
Why Hire A Truck Accident Attorney?
Truck accident claims are often more complex than other injury cases, especially when you must deal with the trucking company's insurer. Attorney Campanaro understands how to prove liability, evaluate driver error and handle negotiations with insurance companies, and she can stand up for you in court if necessary, leaving you more time to focus on recovering.
