Large commercial trucks— 18-wheelers, big rigs, etc.—can cause catastrophic accidents. A fully loaded truck in Ohio can weigh 40 times more than a passenger car. Their immense size, weight, and limited maneuverability often result in devastating consequences for smaller vehicles and pedestrians. Injuries sustained in such accidents can be severe, life-altering, and even fatal. All truck accident injuries require immediate medical attention from a licensed physician.Â
In Ohio, understanding truck accident liability is vital for victims seeking compensation for damages. Truck accidents can involve multiple parties, such as truck drivers, trucking companies, and manufacturers, each with its own insurance policies and potential liability. Ohio follows a comparative negligence rule, meaning victims can recover damages even if they were partially at fault. However, their compensation will be reduced by their percentage of fault. To ensure a fair outcome, it is essential to enlist the help of an experienced attorney who can navigate complex regulations, gather evidence, and negotiate with insurance companies on your behalf. Your crash should be investigated by an experienced Toledo truck accident attorney.Â
