Injuries in truck accidents are often severe and can have lasting impacts on those involved. Trucks are far larger and heavier than the average passenger vehicle, which is why, in 2019, 67% of fatalities in truck accidents were occupants of passenger vehicles.
Many injuries from truck accidents can cause permanent disabilities and a negative impact on your quality of life. Some of these types of injuries include:
Some of these injuries can be long-lasting and cause permanent disabilities.

Proving liability in a truck accident can be a complex process, best handled by a truck accident lawyer. In a typical car accident, the at-fault individual is usually apparent, but liability can be much murkier in a truck accident. While the truck driver may be liable in part, the truck company, the truck owner, the truck manufacturer, negligent cargo loaders, and others could potentially also be partly responsible for an accident.
The experienced Moreno Valley personal injury lawyers of OnderLaw will gather certain types of evidence to prove liability, including:
Truck accidents can be devastating, especially for passenger car drivers who are in much smaller vehicles, resulting in more severe injuries. A knowledgeable Moreno Valley truck accident lawyer will be able to prove who is liable and recover the compensation that you need to get back on your feet. Compensation is designed to cover costs including:
In some cases, you might also be able to collect punitive damages. Punitive damages are designed to “punish” a truck, truck company, or another party for excessively reckless or grossly negligent behavior.
Truck accidents can cause severe mental and physical trauma, which be very expensive to treat. If you have been injured in a truck accident, you should not settle for anything less than what you need to make a full recovery.
A qualified Moreno Valley truck accident attorney will document and calculate the damages you are owed and fight for the compensation you need to support yourself and your family through this trying time. The truck accident attorneys of OnderLaw understand what goes into a truck accident case and will work tirelessly to help you seek a fair settlement.
