Representing Hudson Valley Truck Accident Victims
If you've been injured in a truck accident, you will need to deal with medical and insurance issues that will not only affect your health, but also affect your family's financial security. However, you don't have to deal with these issues alone. As your lawyer, I will guide you every step of the way.
Truck accidents are the cause of some of the most serious personal injury cases we handle at the Schonberg Law Offices of the Hudson Valley. While New York no-fault insurance will cover up to $50,000 in medical bills and up to $2,000 a month in lost wages, that coverage will not go far if you have been seriously injured. To obtain full compensation for everything you have lost, you should contact a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible.
I represent people whose vehicles are struck by trucks, as well as semi-trailer truck drivers who are injured through no fault of their own. With law offices in the Towns of Monroe/Woodbury, Newburgh and Poughkeepsie, I represent clients in Orange County, Dutchess County and surrounding counties in New York's Hudson Valley.
Determining Fault in Truck Accidents
New York no-fault insurance will pay compensation regardless of who caused the car-truck collision. If you have suffered a serious injury, you can sue the at-fault driver for full compensation for all damages not covered by no-fault, such as pain and suffering, medical expenses above $50,000, and lost wages above $2,000 a month.
Commercial trucking companies are required to carry substantial liability coverage. However, insurance companies will not pay that money willingly. As your lawyer, I will work to secure important evidence such as the driver logbook, truck maintenance records, and the driver's background in order to help prove negligence.
If You Are a Truck Driver Who Is Injured
If you are truck driver who has been injured in the course of your employment, your injury will be covered by workers' compensation regardless of fault. If the other driver is at fault, you may be entitled to additional compensation by filing a personal injury lawsuit. I can assist you with both your workers' compensation claim and your personal injury lawsuit.
