If you have been injured (or lost a loved one) in a collision involving an 18-wheeler or another commercial trick, hiring an experienced Ridgeland truck accident lawyer will be one of the first steps in the recovery process. Dealing with the aftermath of a truck accident is not easy, and yet it is all too easy to make mistakes that could leave you without the compensation you and your loved ones deserve. 

How much you deserve to recover—and whether you have a claim at all—depends on the specific circumstances involved in the collision. At this stage, you need to avoid making any assumptions, and you need to ensure that you are making informed decisions based on the advice of a lawyer who has your best interests in mind.

Ridgeland truck accident attorney Luke Paulick is passionate about helping victims and their families—and he has more than a decade of experience handling serious accident cases in South Carolina. No matter what happened, he can help you understand your situation and make informed decisions about your next steps. Luke provides these services free of charge; and, if you have a claim for your truck accident, he will handle your claim at no out-of-pocket cost or up front expense to you. 

While there are lots of reasons to seek legal representation, some of the most important reasons to hire an experienced truck accident lawyer include: 

• Making sure you preserve as much evidence as possible 
• Documenting your injuries and losses 
• Avoiding mistakes and oversights that could compromise (or jeopardize) your claim

Types of Evidence to Collect at the Truck Accident Scene

Several types of evidence may be available at the truck accident scene, and all of these pieces of evidence could be critical for seeking the financial compensation you deserve. Some of the most common types of evidence in these cases include: 

• Debris from the truck and your (or your loved one’s) vehicle
• Tire marks on the road 
• Damaged signs, electrical poles, and vegetation 
• Evidence of traffic patterns and road conditions at the time of the accident 
• Potholes, construction zones, and other potential roadway hazards

But, many other types of evidence could be available as well. From traffic camera footage to cell phone records and the trucking company’s internal documents, Luke can work to obtain any and all pieces of evidence that are necessary for proving your legal rights. 

The Most Common Injuries in Truck Accidents

Due to the extreme forces that are often involved, truck accidents tend to result in particularly serious injuries. Sadly, this is also the reason that far too many truck accidents prove fatal. Some of the most common injuries in truck accidents include:

• Nerve damage (which may be permanent) 
• Severe bone fractures 
• Soft tissue damage requiring surgery 
• Spinal cord injuries (SCI)
• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)

Here, too, these are just examples. Regardless of the injuries you (or your loved one) suffered, you could be facing substantial costs and a long road to recovery. Luke will work closely with you and your doctors to understand the costs you are facing, and he will help make sure you are seeking the maximum compensation available. 

Navigating the Challenges of Truck Accident Cases

As we said above, asserting your legal rights after a serious truck accident is not an easy process. Relying on his experience, Luke can help you navigate the challenges of truck accident cases while dealing with the insurance companies on your behalf. If you are interested in settling your claim, Luke can target a favorable settlement when the time is right.
