At Adam S. Kutner & Associates, we work to help deserving truck accident victims get the recovery that they deserve. Our team of truck accident attorneys in Henderson knows that a truck accident can be more severe and complicated than typical car accidents.
But when you’re hurt, you have rights. Nevada law may allow you to bring a claim for recovery. Here’s what you should know about truck accidents in Henderson.
You May Be Able to Recover Even If It Seems Like an Accident
You might have the legal right to bring a claim for recovery even if the other driver didn’t hit you on purpose. In Henderson, a legal claim after a truck accident is based on negligence. Negligence is the legal term for not being as careful as you should be in any given situation.
Truck drivers have a duty to be careful for the good of others while on the road. When a truck driver isn’t careful enough and an accident results, you have the legal right to bring a claim. The law says that the person who causes the accident should be the one to pay for the losses that result. The responsible party is on the hook to pay for your damages even if they didn’t cause the accident on purpose.
What If I’m Partially to Blame?
