Topeka Truck Accident Lawyers

Truck accidents are a frightening experience, especially if you are in a car, not a truck. Passengers in smaller vehicles are often seriously hurt in truck crashes. If you or a loved one was seriously injured in a truck accident, the Topeka truck accident lawyers at Palmer Law Group will help you understand your options for getting compensation for your injuries.

Topeka Truck Accident Lawyers You Can Trust

How We Determine Whether You Are Eligible for Compensation

Car accident laws in Kansas can be quite confusing. If you are injured in any type of accident, your personal injury protection (PIP) insurance covers your medical costs and lost wages up to the limit of your policy. Kansas requires every driver to purchase this type of insurance. However, that isn’t the end of the story. You may also have the right to sue. But you can only sue the other driver if your injury meets the tort threshold and they were responsible for the accident.

Some of the common ways that truck drivers are responsible for accidents are when they:

• Fall asleep while driving
• Operate a vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol
• Ignore driving regulations, particularly those for trucks
• Don’t properly maintain their trucks
• Overestimate their ability to safely brake.

When you consult with Topeka truck accident lawyers at Palmer Law Group, the first thing they will do is investigate your claim to determine whether you meet these qualifications.

FAQ

You probably have lots of questions you want to ask before hiring a lawyer. The following are some of the more common questions we get asked at Palmer Law Group.

Will my truck accident case go to trial?

No, most trucking accidents or accidents involving semi-trucks will be settled out of court to limit court costs and to get the victim’s money quickly.

Do I have to be present if my case goes to trial?

If your trial makes it to court, you may not have to be in the courtroom. There is a good chance that you are not going to have to be there and that your lawyer is going to be able to fight for you.

Will a verdict be larger than a settlement?

This depends on the accident itself and its severity. In some cases, the verdict might be bigger. In others, you may spend some of your verdict on court costs. It is always best to get the advice of a lawyer.

How long will it take to settle a truck accident claim?

Again, this depends on the accident and on the company itself. It is always going to be best to speak with a lawyer or to get the help of a lawyer to help speed the process along and ensure that you are getting a fair trial and a fair settlement.

What does my settlement cover?

Your settlement is going to cover the cost of your bills associated with the accident, the cost of your ongoing medical care, pain and suffering, and more.

What are my options if a loved one dies in a truck accident?

If a loved one dies in a truck accident, you can file a wrongful death claim against the truck driver if they were responsible for the accident.

At Palmer Law Group, we believe an informed client can make the best decisions about their future. If you have any more questions about truck accidents, we’ll answer them during your initial free consultation.
