Oversized commercial trucks, such as 18-wheelers and semi-trailers, are intimidating on Queensland roads. These massive vehicles can also have a devastating impact when involved in a traffic collision.
If you have a truck road smash, you are three times more likely to die in a light vehicle than in a large commercial truck. About one-third of Queenslanders with a truck-related accident will acquire a high risk to life or catastrophic injuries.
Determining who is at fault and linking this to your injuries is crucial to proving a truck accident injury claim. Seeking compensation for motor vehicle accidents can be a complex legal process, particularly when multiple parties share liability.
Splatt’s truck accident lawyers can provide free legal advice on who was at fault in a truck accident.
The Motor Accident Compensation Act 1994 established Queensland’s compulsory third-party insurance scheme. As a result, every QLD Road user has CTP (Compulsory Third Party) insurance in their vehicle registration.
Insurance policies for large trucking companies cover financial losses if someone is hurt. All their heavy vehicles will be insured.
If you’re injured in a truck accident, the at-fault driver’s insurance provider will usually be liable to pay out a compensation claim. Our accident lawyers can provide advice for the insurance claim process.
Despite seeking immediate medical attention for a truck accident, you may end up with a permanent impairment that prevents you from working again in your usual occupation. You could then qualify for a TPD payout by making a TPD claim through your superannuation policy.
TPD lawyers can explain if you meet the requirements.
Experienced and well-trained truckers can be the difference between a safe road experience and a horrific accident—the risk of harm increases when commercial drivers lack training.
Driving with impaired judgement is a significant factor in road collisions. When a heavy semi-truck is involved, the outcome can be devastating mental and physical injuries or a fatal crash.
It would help if you had your full attention when driving a large truck on a busy highway. Taking your eyes off the road for seconds can cause a rollover accident or end someone’s life, including your own.
