Truck Accident Litigation in Arkansas

The Arkansas trucking attorneys at the Hershewe Law Firm offer an informative look at the lawsuit and litigation process and explain what you can expect from your trucking accident attorney.

If you or a loved one has been involved in an accident with a commercial truck, you may be entitled to recover compensation for your injuries by initiating a truck accident law suit. The responsible or negligent party is legally obligated to pay compensation for any physical, emotional and financial losses that resulted from the accident.

In a trucking accident law suit, the injured party or plaintiff brings a suit against the defendant, which could be the truck driver, the carrier (the trucking company), or in some cases, the manufacturer of the goods that were on board the vehicle. The first step in the lawsuit and litigation process is establishing negligence. This entails showing that the defendant failed in their duty to exercise reasonable care to prevent injury. Next, it must be shown that the defendant’s failure to exercise reasonable care was the cause of the plaintiff’s injury. A qualified truck accident attorney will investigate the incident fully and determine who is liable and consider all of your losses before achieving an adequate settlement of your claim.

The value of your truck accident lawsuit depends on many factors including the type of medical treatment that you receive and the duration of that treatment, the total value of lost wages and loss of income due to diminished earning capacity, and the extent and duration of your pain and suffering. A truck accident litigation law firm will consider all of these components to ensure that you receive fair compensation for your injuries and losses. The lawsuit and litigation process continues as the plaintiff’s and defendant’s attorneys negotiate the claim and the lawsuit ends with either a settlement or a court verdict.

The Arkansas truck accident attorneys at The Hershewe Law Firm have years of experience in the settlement and litigation of trucking accidents and have won millions of dollars in compensation for their clients.
