Why Us
Rin Kim Intro 1.jpg

Truck Crashes Often Involve Several Parties

The driver, trucking company, vehicle owner or maintenance provider may share responsibility, which can make a claim more complex.

We’ll identify every party that may share responsibility & who the claim should be made against.

Evidence Can Disappear Quickly

Work diaries, GPS data, dashcam footage & maintenance records can help show what happened. Some of it can be deleted or recorded over if no one asks for it.

We’ll request these records quickly, while they still exist.

Serious Injuries Need Long-Term Planning

Truck crashes often cause serious injuries that affect your work, income & independence long term.

We’ll factor in today’s costs as well as your future care, treatment & income.

Acting Early

Truck accident claims have strict notice deadlines, & vital records can be lost quickly.

Key Things To Know About Truck & Heavy Vehicle Accident Claims

01

Heavy Vehicles Follow Strict Safety Rules

Heavy vehicle drivers, operators & the businesses behind them must follow rules on fatigue, loads & maintenance.

A breach of these rules can help show who was at fault, but it isn’t always obvious. We’ll look into whether the rules were followed in your case.

02

Fault May Be Disputed

Responsibility may be contested where the crash involves blind spots, lane changes, braking distances or conflicting accounts.

Trucking companies & their insurers may act quickly to defend a claim. We’ll gather the evidence to make sure your side is clearly heard.

03

Your Claim Usually Goes To An Insurer

Your claim is generally made to the heavy vehicle’s CTP insurer, rather than the driver or operator.

We’ll handle the insurer & any questions from the vehicle’s owner or operator on your behalf.

04

Time Limits Matter

Heavy vehicle accident claims involve strict deadlines & procedural requirements. Missing them can put a claim at risk.

Request Your Free Case Review, & a senior lawyer will reach you within 24 hours to help you meet the time limits that apply.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on the circumstances of the crash. The truck driver, their employer, the vehicle owner or a maintenance provider may be responsible.

Yes, in a few key ways. Truck claims often involve several responsible parties, more serious injuries and extra evidence, such as work diaries & company records.

Yes, you may still be able to claim, but your compensation could be reduced to reflect your share of responsibility.

You may still have a claim. The driver’s account isn’t the final word, & records like work diaries, footage and witness statements can tell a clearer story. We’ll use them to respond for you.

Yes, you may be able to claim if the truck driver or another party caused or contributed to the accident. Riders & cyclists are often seriously injured in truck crashes, so early advice matters.
