Truck Accidents Can Seriously Change Your Life – We Are Here To Help

Truck accidents can be the most catastrophic crashes on the road, resulting in life-changing injuries. These massive vehicles are difficult to stop quickly, cannot safely make evasive maneuvers, and outweigh your car or SUV by several tons. At Gage Mathers, our truck accident lawyers have been involved in some of the most catastrophic truck crashes in Arizona and the Southwest.

Pursue Justice, Obtain Compensation

There are many different types of trucks on the road, including semis, big-rigs, 18 wheelers, and tractor-trailers. These “road hogs” cause all kinds of crashes, including running victims off the road, underride collisions, head-on collisions, rollovers, rear-end collisions, and side collisions. These crashes are usually caused by the driver’s reckless behavior. A variety of causes are behind this reckless behavior, including:

Speeding and reckless driving
Defective equipment or brake failure
Overloaded trucks
Weather conditions
Road design
Impaired visibility
Driver fatigue
Driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol
Distracted driving

We have vast experience in bringing big-rig drivers and owners to justice when they cause a crash. If there is compensation to claim, we have the resources to help.

What Damages Can You Claim in a Commercial Truck Accident?

In a commercial truck accident, you may be able to claim compensation for the following damages:

Medical expenses, including future medical costs
Lost wages due to missed work
Pain and suffering
Property damage
Mental anguish
Loss of enjoyment of life
Loss of consortium
Punitive damages, if applicable

What is an example of lost wages due to missed work?

Lost wages due to missed work is when you are unable to work due to an injury or illness caused by a commercial truck accident, and you are not able to earn the wages you would have been able to earn if you had not been injured. For example, if you were a construction worker earning $20 an hour, and you were injured in a commercial truck accident and were unable to work for two weeks, you could claim lost wages of $1,600.

How do you prove “loss of enjoyment of life” in court?

To prove loss of enjoyment of life in court, you must demonstrate that your injury has caused a decreased quality of life and that you are no longer able to participate in activities or hobbies that you previously enjoyed. This can be done through medical records, testimonies from family and friends, and other evidence such as photographs and video.

How do you determine the monetary value of “mental anguish”?

The cash value of mental anguish is determined by the severity of the psychological distress caused by the accident. It is based on factors such as the degree of emotional distress, the length of time the distress has lasted, and the impact it has had on the victim’s life. For example, if a person was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder due to a commercial truck accident, they could seek compensation for the mental anguish caused by the accident.

What is loss of consortium after a commercial truck accident?

Loss of consortium is a type of damage that can be claimed in a commercial truck accident if the injured party can demonstrate that the accident has caused a decrease in the quality of their marital or family relationship. For example, if a husband is seriously injured in a truck accident, his wife may be able to claim loss of consortium if she can demonstrate that the accident has caused a decrease in the quality of their relationship.

What are good tools for showing pain and suffering in a commercial truck accident?

Good tools for showing pain and suffering in a commercial truck accident include medical records, testimony from family and friends, and photographs or videos of the injury. It is also important to document any physical activities that the victim is now unable to do due to the accident. All of this evidence can help to show the court the extent to which the victim has suffered due to the accident.

This Law group is phenomenal.I had an car accident in 2006.I was hit in by a 15 1/2 year oldAnd anybody who gets in the situation I’m gonna tell you a little trick.If you ever get hit by somebody that young and you get the address from the... police report of where The teenagers actually residing. .Especially if it’s a parental guardian which this grandmother was.Because I worked in insurance previously I knew thatYou can actually go on the Maricopa County assessors page, and get direct homeowners information.Just type in the address and it comes up with names and a phone or possibly a phone number.If you can get that person to admit they allow that teenager the car you will have yourself a guaranteed opportunity to hold them accountable.Because his grandmother did not know what it happened and he was im jail.And she actually told me she had allowed him to take the car.Because of that the gauge Mathers group was able to work with that .And fortunately allowed for me to call quite a bit of money for myself and my two children in the Suit itself.It did take several years if not a year and a half to two years to acquire.So so do not expect it right away.But it is definitely something you need to do if you have that similar situation.The teenager was pressuring the grandmother to just take the car out to go get a bite to eat with his friends.However he went and got drunk went on several beer runs to Circle K.Was being chased by another vehicle he hit a when he hit me.Had I have not gotten the grandma to say she had allowed the vehicle to go it may have been a different story.Good luck,This. Law group is ethical and wonderfully personable and not just a place looking for a quick buck of your misfortune.They actually care.read more

On Dec 22 of 2020 my wife and I were involved in a horrific auto accident. 7 weeks in hospital, mostly in the ICU but we survived, barley. Once I was able to function, I contacted Gage Mathers to help sort out the insurances and legal matters... and a couple million dollars in medical bills . It was a long and involved process but in the end it was all sorted with a handsome payout for us, which was totally unexpected on our part. Regina (our paralegal) and the accounting staff were able to negotiate (and pay) our heap of medical bills. I didn't even know that this could be done. This kept us out of bankruptcy with our credit in tact. Joe D'Aguanno handled the attorney duties and advised us in the legal and police world. It was a pleasure to work with this team, their kindness was extraordinary and genuine, these are very nice people in addition to being very good at what they do. special thanks to Regina !read more

One year ago I had reason to believe that a previous medical procedure had caused a significant new health risk. I knew I needed legal advice on what my rights were and what options might exist for me to pursue a resolution. I reached out to Joe... and he was immediately responsive. Not only did he provide me assistance in a timely way, he personally dropped off materials for me to review at my home. At that time, I really needed help and he was there for me.read more
