Depending on how your truck crash happened, the following parties in the trucking industry could be responsible for your injuries and losses:

for producing faulty equipment and accessories

Commercial trucks can weigh up to 80,000 pounds, compared to the 4,000 or so pounds of an average car.

Crashes can cause catastrophic injuries such as spinal cord, brain, and internal organ damage, affecting a person’s life and livelihood forever.

Accidents involving commercial trucks differ from other traffic crashes for the following reasons: 

Truck accident victims face medical bills, longer periods of lost income, and more extensive rehabilitation than those in car-to-car wrecks.

Multiple parties, such as the truck driver, trucking company, or the parts manufacturers, may share responsibility for a commercial vehicle accident.

Trucking firms and their insurers can afford to fight accident claims and are often aggressive in their tactics.

As an accident victim, you need effective legal representation to protect your rights and secure fair compensation. Contact the Kansas City, MO commercial truck accident lawyers at Presley & Presley today to learn how we can lead your fight for justice.

In Missouri, commercial truck accident victims have five years to file a lawsuit against the parties responsible for their injuries. For families of loved ones killed in a commercial truck collision, the filing timeline is three years. If you miss these dates, the court will dismiss your case without a hearing — and you won’t be able to pursue compensation for the accident.

Don’t let your opportunity to get the money you need to rebuild your life slip away. Reach out to our truck accident law firm today so we can review your case and take action.
