Proving Fault in a Pensacola Tractor Trailer Accident

In order to recover financial compensation after a tractor trailer accident, it is necessary to prove who or what caused the collision. While truck driver negligence is the primary factor in most cases, this is by no means the only potential factor that needs to be considered. When a Pensacola truck accident attorney investigates your case, they will be looking for evidence to support all available grounds for seeking financial compensation, including:

• Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
• Driving while distracted
• Driving while drowsy or fatigued
• Exceeding the truck’s gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR)
• Failing to perform necessary truck maintenance or repairs
• Failing to properly secure or pressurize truck cargo
• Negligent hiring of inexperienced or high-risk truck drivers
• Road debris and other hazards and obstructions
• Running a red light or stop sign, failing to yield, or other driving mistakes
• Truck, car and road defects

In addition to proving the cause of the accident, we will also need to prove the extent of your (or your family’s) losses. This can be a difficult process, but it is extremely important, and our attorneys work with doctors, accountants and other professionals who are extremely skilled at accurately calculating the long-term financial and non-financial effects of traumatic accidents.
