Pickup Truck Accident Lawyer

Pickup trucks are a popular method of travel and hauling in the American workforce and are often seen in construction, landscaping, and various handyman services. While pickup trucks are smaller than most other commercial vehicles, at 2-3 times the size of a standard passenger vehicle, they still have the potential to inflict serious damages, injuries, and even death. 

If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident due to another driver’s negligence, we at 844 See Mike are here for you every step of the way to ensure that your rights are protected, and you are fully compensated for your injuries and losses.

Causes of Pickup Truck Accidents 

There are a number of causes of pickup truck accidents, the majority of which are driver error. Pickup truck drivers are hired by commercial companies for their work skills and often aren’t trained in driving a truck filled with heavy equipment or cargo. When a driver is inexperienced and towing large loads, the likelihood of a serious collision with another vehicle, a pedestrian, or bicyclist is high. 

Other causes of pickup truck accidents include:

• Fatigue
• Driver unfamiliar with the area they are driving in
• Distracted driving
• Driving under the influence
• Weather or environmental conditions
• Speeding
• Poor maintenance
• Defective truck parts

Determining Liability in Pickup Truck Accidents

Most pickup trucks used for commercial purposes are not commercially licensed. Instead, they are considered passenger vehicles even when used for work purposes. However, because pickup trucks used for commercial purposes are often owned by a company and provided to their employees, these companies may be considered partially liable for any damages or injuries one of their driver causes while behind the wheel. 

Commercial companies that use pickup trucks for their employees may also be liable if they do not keep their pickup trucks properly maintained or allow the use of defective or damaged parts. In addition, the parts manufacturer that made the defective parts or the mechanic who installed those parts may also be found to be partially liable.

Determining all the liable parties can be tricky, but the experienced personal injury lawyers at 844 See Mike LLC will review your case and fight for the compensation you deserve against all parties who may be liable for your pickup truck accident.

Pickup Truck Rollover Accident

Every type of vehicle has the potential for a rollover accident under the right conditions, although the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that pickup trucks are among the top in vehicle rollover accidents. Due to their higher center of gravity and weight, pickup trucks are most at-risk for turnover accidents when rounding a curve, especially at high rates of speed. 

Rollover accidents can be one of the most dangerous, with severe injuries and death possible. Commonly seen pickup truck rollover accident injuries include:

• Traumatic brain injuries
• Crushing injuries
• Fractures
• Lacerations
• Spinal injuries
• Paralysis
