Accidents happen every day, resulting in injuries ranging from broken bones to concussions to burns.

In some cases, the victim of an accident might be unable to work for some time while medical expenses keep piling up.

If you have been injured in an accident caused by another party's negligence, you have a right to receive compensation for the damages you have suffered. At Robinson Law, PLLC, our attorneys represent residents of Dumfries in a wide variety of personal injury cases. When you work with our firm, you can take comfort knowing your case will be handled by lawyers with decades of experience.

Commercial Truck Accidents

Commercial trucks outweigh most cars by several tons, and as such, a collision with a 16-wheeler carries a greater risk of catastrophic injury or death compared to other motor vehicle accidents. When filing a claim for damages in commercial trucking accidents, you should know that you may be able to collect compensation from multiple parties. In personal injury claims, the party at fault is held liable, or financially responsible, for the accident.

Most often, liability begins with the truck driver who engaged in a clear act of negligence, such as distracted driving or driving while fatigued. Truck drivers may carry their own insurance policies, and you can obtain compensation if you can prove the driver was at fault for the accident.

Depending on the circumstances, you might be able to file a claim against the trucking company in addition to the driver. According to the state's laws regarding vicarious liability, a commercial trucking company can be held liable if the driver was acting within the scope of his or her employment when the accident occurred. Furthermore, the company can be held responsible for negligent practices such as hiring poorly trained or underqualified drivers. Liability may also extend to third-party companies responsible for loading cargo or maintaining the truck if any improper procedures played a part in the accident.

Pedestrian Accidents

When a car strikes a pedestrian head-on, the resulting bodily harm is often severe, with the potential for head trauma, broken bones, and permanent disability. If you have been hurt in a pedestrian accident, you can collect compensation for your medical treatment, ongoing care, loss of income, and missed wages from work, which are all referred to as economic damages. You can also get compensated for your mental anguish from the accident, which falls under the category of non-economic damages.

A pedestrian accident can leave you with lifelong catastrophic injuries. As such, it is important that your claim addresses all areas of your life that have been affected by the collision. A personal injury lawyer at Robinson Law, PLLC can advocate for full compensation by providing hard evidence, including photographs of your injuries and the vehicle, your medical records, police reports, and witness statements.
