If you've been in an accident involving a large truck, it is in your best interest to consult Utah injury attorney Lynn Harris. During your consultation, attorney Lynn Harris will explain the Utah laws regarding truck accidents.

What to Do in the Event of a Truck Accident

To protect your rights after a truck accident, we advise you to follow these guidelines:

  • Stay at the scene of the truck accident.
  • Exchange information with any other people who were involved.
  • Assess any injuries or damage.
  • Call the police if the accident caused an injury or at least $500 of property damage.
  • Receive medical attention if there is even a minor-seeming injury.

If you did not follow these steps after your accident, do not worry — an attorney can still help you. Lawyers are quite familiar with all the consequences an individual or family could be faced with following a truck accident, including:

  • Medical or funeral bills
  • Property damage
  • Rehabilitation costs
  • Loss of income
  • Loss of companionship
  • Disability
  • Insurance issues

The costs of being in an accident with a large truck can be devastating, and when you've been in a truck accident, Utah car accident lawyer Lynn Harris is prepared to fight for your rights and those of your family. Whatever the circumstances of your motor vehicle accident, we're ready to hear the details and advise you about your case.

Common Causes of Truck Accidents

If your accident was caused by the negligence of another driver, you may be entitled to financial compensation. Common causes of truck accidents include:

  • Truck driver fatigue
  • Drug use
  • Distractions
  • Driving too fast
  • Reckless driving

If an attorney can prove that the other driver was at fault for your accident, you have a good chance of obtaining damages for your case.
