Plymouth Truck Accident Lawyers

When you suffer injuries in an accident with a truck, you could face an uncertain future. The weight and size of semi-trucks dwarf those of other vehicles, meaning the semi-trucks generate extra force in an accident compared to what would happen in an accident with another passenger car or SUV. Because of the severity of your injuries, you may need extensive medical care after an accident that was not your fault. Trust the Plymouth truck accident lawyers at Tyroler Leonard Injury Law to fight tirelessly for your right to seek a personal injury award from the negligent party or parties.
Our team of Plymouth truck accident attorneys knows that trucking companies and their insurance providers rarely willingly accept blame for the accident, especially if you are in line for a large settlement amount. Understanding how insurance settlements work is a key aspect of trying to maximize the value of your injury award. Insurance companies can increase their profit margins by paying accident victims as little as possible. Understanding the incentive that insurance companies have for reducing payments allows us to prepare for these tactics when we are representing you.

How Tyroler Leonard Injury Law Can Help with Your Case
We provide many key services for our Plymouth truck accident injury clients.
Investigation
We investigate the facts in the case to try to show that you did not do anything wrong to cause the accident with the truck. By showing that the truck driver and related parties are completely at fault for the crash, we have the best chance to maximize your financial award. For example, if we can find evidence of truck driver fatigue, this is a key factor that shows negligence.
At-Fault Parties
As we investigate the case, we try to determine which party or parties are at fault for the crash. These parties could include:
- Truck driver
- Trucking company
- Maintenance team that worked on the truck
- People who loaded the truck’s trailer
- Manufacturer of the truck.
We can bring a lawsuit against one or more parties that we believe are liable.
Amount of Award
Our truck accident attorneys in Plymouth study your case thoroughly to determine the proper amount to request in a financial award. This would be a challenging process for you to do on your own because of your lack of experience with cases like this. Insurers know the maximum value they are willing to pay in your case, but they aren’t going to tell you this number, hoping you’ll settle for less. We have the experience necessary to calculate an accurate value for your case.
Some of the areas where we can seek awards for you include:
- Medical bills
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional trauma.
FAQ: Common Questions Our Plymouth, MN, Truck Accident Injury Attorneys Hear from Clients
Don’t assume that you fully understand injury accident cases when you are going through this for the first time. You are certain to have a lot of questions. At Tyroler Leonard Injury Law, we appreciate it when our clients ask us questions about their cases. We can use these questions to help us understand which aspects of the case are most important to our clients. We then can focus our strategy for seeking an award in these areas. Some of the most common questions we hear – and our answers – include the following.
Do I really need to hire Plymouth truck accident injury lawyers?
By hiring our Plymouth truck accident injury lawyers to represent you, you receive the benefit of the experience of our professionals. If you are trying to represent yourself against the insurance company, the insurer may try to take advantage of your lack of experience in negotiating settlements to try to convince you to accept a smaller offer.
If the trucking company fires the driver who hit me, does this eliminate the company’s liability in the truck accident?
No, a trucking company cannot remove its liability for your injury truck accident in Plymouth, MN, by firing the truck driver who hit you. We investigate your case to determine which parties can be held liable for your Minnesota truck accident. Subsequent firings of any employees make no difference in who we can hold liable.
How long do I have to file a truck accident injury lawsuit?
Minnesota Statute 541.05 gives you up to six years from the date of the crash to file a truck accident injury lawsuit. Although this seems like a long time to sue for personal injury, our truck crash injury attorneys serving Plymouth, MN, recommend that victims reach out to us as early as possible, so we can start investigating the case while witnesses to the accident are easier to find.
Can I receive a personal injury award if I am partly at fault for the truck crash?
Yes, you can receive an injury award if you are partially at fault for the truck crash in which you suffered injuries. Minnesota is a comparative fault state, as spelled out in Minnesota Statute 604.01. This means you can receive an award if you are not more than 50% at fault for the accident. Your award amount decreases by the percentage of fault you have in the crash. Our team at Tyroler Leonard Injury Law will seek to produce facts that convince the insurance company you have a minimal percentage of fault for the accident or no fault.
Insurance companies may tell you that they see the facts in your truck accident case a certain way. The insurer’s interpretation of the facts may paint a picture that you are to blame. However, you do not have to simply accept this interpretation. With the help of our Plymouth, MN, truck injury accident attorneys, you can dispute the insurance company’s findings. You also have the right to ask any questions of the insurance company about how it arrived at its conclusions, and our team can help with asking these questions.
