It Takes Experience to Fight a Truck Accident Case. Trust KaplunMarx.
When a truck crash occurs, proving liability for accident-related damages and losses can be challenging. The defendant’s insurance company may try to pay out less than what they owe you. If you were involved in a collision with a commercial vehicle and sustained injuries, you should speak with our accomplished Bala Cynwyd truck accident lawyers about your potential claim.
When a truck driver negligently causes a wreck with another motorist, the consequences can be devastating and even deadly. A well-practiced personal injury attorney could aggressively pursue compensation for your damages from the at-fault party or parties and fight tirelessly to protect your rights.

Compensable Losses in a Commercial Vehicle Collision
Accidents involving semi-trucks are among the leading causes of catastrophic injuries from roadway collisions. The substantial difference in size between an 18-wheeler and passenger vehicle can cause significant losses in the event of a crash.
A truck crash attorney in Bala Cynwyd would work hard to achieve maximum monetary recovery to compensate for the injured party’s losses. Compensation in a truck wreck claim could includes:
- Lost wages
- Medical expenses
- Rehabilitation and therapy expenses
- Surgery bills
- Lost future earning capacity
- Disability
- Pain and suffering
- Punitive damages
Injuries in semi-truck accidents can range from broken bones, paralysis, traumatic brain injuries, and spinal cord injuries to burns, internal bleeding, punctured organs, and amputations. Truck collisions can also result in whiplash, muscle strain, and soft tissue injuries. An accomplished attorney could build a compelling claim for compensation on the injured party’s behalf based on supporting evidence such as the police report, witness statements, medical records, damage reports, photos of the crash, and other accident information.
Timeline to File a Truck Accident Claim in Pennsylvania
According to 42 Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes § 5524, personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the date that the injury is suffered. If someone waits to file a claim, they could potentially be barred from compensation altogether. It is best to consult with our Bala Cynwyd lawyer as soon as possible after a truck wreck to ensure a claim is filed before the legal deadline expires.
Who is Liable in an 18-Wheeler Accident?
Liability in a civil case is based on the legal doctrine of negligence. Under this doctrine, if the accused party owed the plaintiff a legal duty and they breached it, they could be held responsible for any injuries and damages stemming from their violation. For example, if a truck driver fails to drive with reasonable care and causes a crash that injures another motorist, the driver could be liable. The truck owner, trucking company, and cargo loader could also be potential defendants in a case. A skilled attorney on our team can investigate who is responsible for a truck accident.
When a plaintiff shares some of the legal blame for the truck accident, their compensation will be decreased or dismissed, depending on their percentage of fault. If the plaintiff is 50 percent or less liable, they can still collect damages, but being found more than half at fault would bar recovery.
