Truck Accidents in the Ohio Valley

Trusted Truck Accident Attorneys Serving the Ohio Valley

A truck accident can change your life in an instant. Because commercial trucks are significantly larger and heavier than passenger vehicles, collisions often result in serious injuries, extensive medical treatment, and long-term financial challenges. In the days and weeks following a crash, many people are left wondering what caused the accident, who may be responsible, and what steps they should take next.

At Bordas & Bordas, we help individuals and families throughout Wheeling, Moundsville, and communities across the Ohio Valley understand their rights and navigate the legal process after a serious truck accident.

What Should You Know About Truck Accident Claims?

Truck accident claims are often more complex than standard car accident cases. In addition to the driver, several parties may be involved in the operation, maintenance, and oversight of a commercial truck.

A truck accident investigation may involve reviewing:

• Driver logs and electronic logging device records
• Truck maintenance and inspection reports
• Cargo loading documentation
• Company safety records
• Witness statements
• Accident reconstruction findings
• Medical records and treatment history

Understanding who may be responsible is often an important step in determining how a claim moves forward.

What Compensation May Be Available After a Truck Accident?

The impact of a truck accident often extends far beyond the collision itself. Victims may face months or years of medical treatment, rehabilitation, and financial uncertainty.

Depending on the circumstances, compensation may include:

• Medical expenses
• Future treatment costs
• Rehabilitation and therapy
• Lost wages
• Reduced earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Property damage
• Long-term care needs

Every claim is unique, and factors such as injury severity, liability, insurance coverage, and future medical needs can all affect the compensation that may be available.

Common Causes of Truck Accidents

Many truck accidents are preventable and occur because of driver error, vehicle issues, or safety violations.

Common causes include:

• Driver fatigue
• Distracted driving
• Speeding
• Impaired driving
• Improper truck maintenance
• Brake or equipment failures
• Overloaded or improperly secured cargo
• Inadequate driver training
• Violations of federal trucking regulations

Determining what caused the accident is often a critical part of identifying liability and evaluating a claim.

How Truck Accidents Affect Victims and Families

A truck accident can affect far more than a person's physical health. Serious injuries may impact employment, financial stability, family responsibilities, and overall quality of life.

Families frequently face challenges such as:

• Ongoing medical appointments
• Lost household income
• Caregiving responsibilities
• Emotional stress
• Long-term rehabilitation needs
• Adjustments to daily routines
