When a tractor trailer truck collides with another vehicle, the results can be catastrophic. Aside from property damage, Washington DC truck accidents can result in serious injuries, permanent disabilities and even death to those involved. According to Department of Transportation (DOT) statistics, nearly half-a-million truck accidents occur every year on U.S. roads. Of these, approximately 5,000 accidents lead to fatalities. Truck accidents are twice as likely to occur on rural roads than in urban areas, and the vast majority of crashes occur during the weekend. Trucker-fatigue plays a significant role in at least one-third of all crashes.

Proving the accident occurred due to the negligence of another is key to pursuing a truck accident claim. By holding another individual, company, or government entity 'liable' you are eligible to receive restitution for lost wages, medical expenses, and pain and suffering. Examples of actionable liability could be proven if:

• The trucker who hit you was under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• The trucker was driving recklessly or significantly over the speed-limit.
• The trucker was driving unsafely based on the weather and/or traffic situation.
• The trucker was driving a vehicle that lacked proper licensing, registration, or upkeep, or was otherwise improperly operating the vehicle.

Many factors can influence how you might pursue a legal claim with respect to your matter. For instance, you may be able to seek compensation for your healthcare costs and property damages from the trucker's company and/or his or her insurance provider. You may be able to claim your medical bills, lost wages, permanent disabilities, pain and suffering, emotional trauma, loss of income from your employment and any additional damages related to the Bethesda motor vehicle accident.
