Common Causes of Truck Accidents

Truck accidents can occur due to a number of factors, from negligent driving behaviors to violations of federal and state trucking regulations. Determining the cause of your Lake Oswego truck accident is important; you will need to know how the accident occurred in order to identify the at-fault party and file a claim.

Some of the most causes of truck accidents include the following.

Distracted driving
Drowsy driving
Hours of service violations
Defective truck parts
Improperly trained or licensed drivers
Improperly loaded cargo
Poorly maintained or inspected vehicles

Legal Options for Lake Oswego Truck Accident Victims

If you are injured in a Lake Oswego truck accident, you can file an insurance claim or lawsuit against the party responsible for your collision.

Most truck drivers and trucking companies carry insurance that can pay for your losses in the event of a collision. You can file a third-party claim against this insurance to recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and more. You could also file a lawsuit against the liable party in Oregon civil court.

The first step toward filing a truck accident claim is to identify who was responsible for the collision. Using this information, you can determine which legal option is right for your case.

If your accident was caused by driver negligence, the driver would be financially liable for your damages, and you would file an insurance claim or lawsuit against him or her.
If the driver was an employee of a trucking company, his or her employer will likely have commercial insurance that you can file a claim against. You can also name the company as a liable party in your truck accident lawsuit.
Trucking companies and their drivers are subject to strict federal and state regulations. If the trucking company violated state or federal laws or committed another act of negligence that caused your accident , you can file a claim against the entity.
Some accidents are caused by a defective vehicle part. In these situations, you can file a lawsuit against the manufacturer, distributor, or retailer of the defective part.
If a road defect or hazard caused the accident, you could file a claim against the government agency responsible for maintaining the area where the accident occurred.

Your Lake Oswego truck accident attorney from Tillmann Law can conduct a full investigation into your accident and help you identify the at-fault party.

Your lawyer can also identify your optimal path to maximum compensation, helping you secure the compensation you deserve.

What Damages Are Available in an Oregon Truck Accident Claim?

Commercial trucks are much larger and heavier than the average passenger car. As a result, collisions between these two types of vehicles can lead to devastating, sometimes life-threatening injuries that require extensive medical care.

The physical, emotional, and financial impact of a Lake Oswego truck accident can be very damaging.

Through a truck accident insurance claim or lawsuit, you can recover compensation for the economic and non-economic losses you sustained in the collision.

Economic damages are your financial losses, while non-economic damages are commonly referred to as pain and suffering. Damages available in truck accident claims usually include the following.

Past and future medical expenses
Property damage
Lost wages and loss of future earnings
Disability accommodations, such as mobility equipment
Rehabilitation and physical therapy
Physical pain and suffering, such as disability, disfigurement, and chronic pain
Emotional pain and suffering, such as mental anguish, emotional distress, depression, and anxiety

I was involved in a serious auto accident. Not that there is a good time to be in any accident, it just happened to be 2020. Tillman Law and support staff kept me in the loop as the court system was disarray with all the Covid issues. The staff was very professional and courteous. In a nutshell, they took care of me.

My husband was in a bad car accident a few years back, and he was stopped due to traffic. He was behind a fuel truck, and someone rear-ended him, going 60mph. The worst part was our 6 mo old was in our and the truck was totaled beyond repair and my husbands back injured severly he ended up with 2 broken vertebrae. Our child had ptsd any time getting into a vehicle after that. Tillman made this right even though we couldn't do much for our son other comfort him and make car rides more comfortable from there on out Tillman was able to get my husband the money he deserved after the other driver was extremely negligent and either not paying attention or on his phone or something unfortunately this was during covid and when the police came they didnt do a single thing to check for any of that. We can't say enough good things about Aaron Tillman he gave us our hope back and the ability to have back surgery to repair a lot of his back issues due to the car wreck. So if you have been in an accident definitely call Tillman Law they're amazing super professional, kind and empathetic beings who will work for the best possible outcome for your case and fight they won't just roll over and play dead they spent about 2.5 years on my husbands case never giving up. He was always super honest with my husband and always communicated everything. So again, thank you, Aaron Tillman, and thank you to your law firm for working so tirelessly. We appreciate it more than you know.

I can’t recommend Tillman Law enough. We were in a sticky situation from a car accident in December and my partner was out of work for over a month. Aaron told us we may not be able to get those lost wages, but he would definitely try to fight the insurance for them and even then we might not see the money for a long time. It’s only been 3 1/2 months since the accident and we just got our lost funds today. Tillman Law was quick, efficient, and made this entire situation much less painful. I appreciate everything they’ve done for us.

Everyone told me that getting money from the insurance company isn’t easy and it takes a long time probably more then a year but when I decided to call Aaron about my situation and explained everything and right away he took my case and told me what to do every step of the way so I never had to deal with the insurance, made everything go smoother, felt very comfortable and reliable. In other words Aaron knows what he is doing and I would recommend him! Don’t go to anyone else cause he got me more money then what they wanted to give me and I am very happy right now thank you Aaron !!

Aaron and Jason took our case right after Christmas in 2017. It was a very complicated situation that involved a handful of different people, several cars, multiple hospitals, uninsured drivers, and a negligent insurance company which took nearly three years for us to reach a conclusion on. It would've been a certain dead end had it not been taken on by the expertise of this firm. They were always there to answer questions and walked us through every step of the process along the way. Ultimately they scored a win in our favor and after several negotiations with the other party, we've reached an agreement on a settlement in September of 2020. Seeing how hard they fight for their clients, my family has opted to return to Tillmann Law several times since this first case for other, less significant events, all of which have also resolved in our favor. Highly recommend to hire this firm to represent your case.

Roberto Garcia

First of all these guys will fight for you!. The thing is dealing with insurance companies is such a hassle that it interferes with our lives and they only want to pay out the bare minimum. Now that we have to go to doctors, physical therapy and chiropractic appointments, etc. just to get better, all while trying to go to work and then having to deal with the insurance company on top of that. There is no way to keep track of it all. This team will help you get the best result possible and also take care of the process and communication with your insurance company.

I am glad that this is finally going to be completely resolved. It has taken a long time but there were complexities that we had to work through. I am very happy with your service. I am positive this was the highest and best outcome for me. I am still a little in awe of the discount you and Aaron were able to get. It is nothing short of amazing.I am completely satisfied with your hard work and the results. I would have never gotten the settlement on my own. Thanks again.

Mary Krettler

Wonderful law firm!I contacted Aaron after I sustained a broken arm from tripping on a faulty sidewalk...An insurance adjuster wanted me to quickly sign off on the claim, offering a fraction for my growing medical bills...I refused and hired Aaron.From the beginning and throughout my ordeal, Aaron was professional yet caring and understanding...He and his paralegal Jason were always available for any questions and concerns I had.Aaron negotiated a fabulous settlement for me that I never would've achieved had it not been for his tenacity and perseverance.I would absolutely recommend him and his law firm to anyone who seeks legal help and justice!...Thanks again Aaron and Jason!...Couldn't have done it without you!

Jan Grammer

We hired Aaron after our daughter and I were rear ended by an inattentive driver. My daughter was more significantly injured due to her delicate post-operative state. He helped us deal with uncooperative insurance companies and negotiated a very positive settlement . In fact, the look on the claims adjuster's face at the end of the medication session that settled the case reaffirmed that we had done very well. Aaron educated us along the way, and explained the process clearly so we knew what to expect. Both Aaron and his legal assistant Jason are both top notch, highly effective and a pleasure to work with. I recommend them very highly. Results speak for themselves!

Aaron Wilde

I asked Mr. Tillman to associate with me on a case in Oregon. I was pleased with Aaron’s work product. He responded quickly to my inquiries and was knowledgeable in the law. I would recommend his services.

Dwayne Harris

1562913766

I suffered an injury in an auto accident before I retained Mr. Tillmann for his services. I appreciated his line of communicating with me in every instance what the plan of attack would be. After making a number of visits to doctors therapist, Mr. Tillman helped facilitate a careful and Savvy approach to persuade a defense that was at times uncooperative and unpersuaded. His ability to read our situation, resulted in a positive outcome that we can all live with. I highly recommend.

Aaron and his team were incredible to work with. In addition to being extraordinarily thorough on the case and patient with me, they were tireless in ensuring I received the maximum amount possible in order to receive the care I needed. He genuinely cared for my well being, would call me just to check on the status of my health. He is an all-around stellar person to work with. I highly recommend his services to anyone seeking justice and care for personal injury cases.

Lena Kyle

I came to Aaron 2 years ago frusterated, in pain and really confused. All i knew is I was hurt, nobody was listening and i didnt know what was gonna happen. Its a scarey space when your in that position. The being in pain and having no idea what the future holds. I feel like the moment I met with him i was being heard and felt like what happened to me mattered. He was very honest with be from the beginning about the process, what we had to work with and even the risks. I felt informed and communicated with. And we just won a huge victory. For me that means options are open, my family has security. I honestly dont know what would have happened with out Aaron and his team. Im just grateful for them standing up and helping me be heard. Thank You for your work and dedication. I highly recommend Tillman Law.

I wasn’t sure about getting legal help with my collision claim, but when I went to Aaron, he made me feel comfortable with the process. I definitely got more than expected. I’m very happy with the outcome. Now things should be a little easier.
