Truck drivers work very long hours and command tens of thousands of pounds of equipment. It is demanding and exhausting work, involving long stretches with very little in the way of diversion or entertainment. As a consequence, it is not unusual for drivers to seek out creative ways to maintain attention, including CB conversations, books on tape, even stretching exercises. The problem is that such well-intended measures can often prove more distracting than helpful, creating dangerous situations where driver error or negligence can cause an accident. If you have been injured as a result of a reckless truck driver, it is important to seek legal remedies.

Proving Trucking Negligence in Phoenix

What are some of the ways to prove truck driver error? Many forms of driver error leave evidence behind. Cell phone conversations or texting, for instance, can be traced and verified through phone companies. Security cameras may also catch drivers engaged in other hazardous practices, including using a laptop or drinking alcohol. Even if no alcohol is found inside the vehicle, any truck driver who gets into an accident and blows 0.04 or higher on a breathalyzer is in violation of the law, and you have a substantial settlement coming your way.

Settling After a Truck Accident

Of course the size and scope of that settlement depends on the outcome of your collision. Minor injuries will prompt smaller cash settlements, of course, though it is still important to clearly document any lasting effects of those injuries. Catastrophic injuries such as traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, amputation or burns, on the other hand, may result in a far bigger settlement for you and your family. The reason is simple: if you have lost future income, productivity, or your quality of life due to the negligent act of a truck driver, you may be facing a lifetime of high expenses. The law can help you regain balance.
