Liability In A Flatbed Truck Accident

DFW flatbed trailer truck accidents happen often because the surrounding highways of Fort Worth and Dallas see frequent transportation of goods on flatbed truck. These kinds of semi-truck trailers are typically used to carry cargo that is too large to fit inside a cargo container.

These types of trucks differ from typical 18 wheelers because the bed is actually mounted to the chassis of the truck and cannot be removed. Because of this, it is hard to maneuver flatbed trucks, and even harder to move around these types of vehicles, especially on highways like Interstate 30, I-35, and other highways that surround the Metroplex.

Furthermore, the flatbed trailers have a tendency to carry loose cargo that is often knocked off during an accident, which makes these accidents even more dangerous than a typical 18 wheeler truck accident. If the automobile had improperly secured cargo, the company that loaded the lorry could be primarily at fault because of negligence.

Obviously, the truck driver and his or her insurance policy will also have liability in a flatbed truck accident if the accident could have been avoided. It is also important to remember that if the collision involved another car, the driver may be partially at fault as well.

One of the most common questions a new client has is “What is my case worth?”

The truth is that it is extremely difficult to estimate any injury claim's value until the injured party has ended medical treatment and is either well or as well as he or she is going to get. Only then can you truly put a figure on the damages that should be sought.

There is nothing worse than settling a claim too soon because once you settle, it's final. If your conditions worsen after prematurely accepting a settlement then you have no choice but to pay any additional medical bills yourself. Once your case settles, you cannot force the insurance company to also pay for your medical care in the future.
