The New York Truck Accident Lawyer group at Stephen Bilkis & Associates, PLLC has discovered the most common types of truck accident injury include traumatic brain injury, broken bones, spinal injury and wrongful death. Traumatic brain injury can elicit numerous complications, such as lack of motor function, seizure, slurred speech, paralysis and death. This type of brain damage can also lead to secondary injury, as in intracranial hemorrhage, diffuse axonal injury or cerebral edema. Spinal injury can encompass a multitude of different injuries depending on what part of the spine is affected. A cervical spinal injury can lead to quadriplegia or a thoracic spinal injury can elicit paraplegia or a lumbar spinal injury can lead to weakness and paralysis in the lower extremities. Spinal injury can also create problems with respiratory function and blood pressure regulation. These injuries are traumatic and can be life-changing. Medical bills can pile-up and you can be forced to take time off of work. If your injury is caused by a negligent truck driver, you may be able to hold the driver and their employer legally liable for your injuries. At Stephen Bilkis & Associates, we will aggressively pursue an award of monies in compensation for your injury.

Negligence comes in many forms. The knowledgeable New York Truck Accident Attorney faculty at Stephen Bilkis & Associates, PLLC has learned driver fatigue contributes to trucking injury resulting from a truck accident, along with several other factors including:

• Intoxication
• Unsafe vehicle operation
• Large, unstable loads
• Defective equipment
• Driver error
• Equipment failure

When a trucking accident occurs, the trucking company typically sends a representative to the accident scene. The representative mitigates everything at the accident scene to limit the trucking company’s liability. In many cases, the victim is pressured to make quick decisions by the trucking company’s aggressive tactics. Consulting the experienced New York Truck Accident Lawyer group at Stephen Bilkis & Associates, PLLC may be essential in the protection of your legal rights and pursuit of monetary compensation for your injury.

Due to the heavy regulations imposed on the trucking industry, a trucking injury case is more complex than a standard car accident, motorcycle accident or SUV accident case. In a fatal trucking accident, a wrongful death action can be filed against the trucking company and the truck driver. If a medical provider negligent behavior (such as lack of immediate medical attention) contributed to the wrongful death, a medical malpractice claim can be brought against the negligent healthcare providers. The highly skilled New York Trucking Injury Attorney team at Stephen Bilkis & Associates, PLLC has the vast knowledge and experience to successfully mitigate your case and fight for the maximum compensation allowed under law.
