Dublin Truck Accident Lawyer

At Oliver Law Office, our Dublin truck accident lawyers have represented injured Ohio residents and families who have lost their loved ones in commercial vehicle collisions since 2000.

We understand nobody expects to sustain severe injuries or lose someone they love in a significant truck accident. Yet, big-rig and semi-truck accidents happen more frequently than you might think. According to the National Safety Council (NSC), more than 5,700 large trucks were involved in fatal crashes throughout the U.S. last year alone — an 18% increase from the previous year.

These devastating statistics are trending the wrong way. This is why we are here.

How Can Oliver Law Office Help Me Pursue The Best Outcome for My Ohio Truck Accident Claim?

Our personal injury attorneys in Franklin, Delaware, and Union counties are dedicated to protecting our communities from negligent truck drivers, trucking companies, and other third parties that are too intimidating to pursue on their own.

We handle every case with confidence, courage, and determination. That means never backing down from large corporations, their legal counsel, or insurance representatives.

Several factors make pursuing damages after commercial vehicle accidents different from passenger vehicle crashes.

No matter what type of negligence caused the truck accident, injuries, or fatalities, our Dublin personal injury attorneys will thoroughly investigate the crash to determine which party — or combination of parties — is liable for your damages.

That may include:

  • Truck Driver.
  • Trucking Company or Third-Party Employer.
  • Motor Vehicle Driver Who Causes the Collision with the Truck.
  • Company Responsible for Loading the Trailer.
  • The Maintenance Company is responsible for the truck’s safety.
  • Commercial Vehicles or Parts Manufacturers.

Once all potential parties are identified, our skilled Dublin truck accident lawyers will assess each party’s level of fault based on factors such as negligence, liability, and the laws that allow us to pursue each to determine the best legal strategy for seeking compensation from each party.

If you have been injured or lost a loved one in a truck accident in Ohio, contact Oliver Law Office today to learn more about our personalized approach to producing results for our clients.

How Long Do I Have To Pursue a Truck Accident and Injury Claim in Ohio?

Ohio’s statute of limitations for filing a truck accident lawsuit is generally two years from when the injury occurred. This is also the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims, including wrongful death.

Personal injury claims are time-intensive and require the successful preservation of evidence and documentation that allow our law firm to identify all liable parties so we can pursue each for the compensation our clients need to regain control of their lives.

Once the two-year period has expired, the injured party will be barred from recovering any damages. This means the sooner you speak with our dedicated personal injury attorneys, the quicker we can assess your case and get started on a customized legal strategy that fits your unique recovery needs.

Common Causes of Large Truck Accidents in Dublin, Ohio 

Truck accidents in Dublin can have a wide range of causes. Our Dublin truck accident attorneys want to emphasize that it is essential to determine the cause of a large truck accident in order to determine which party or parties are likely to be liable for injuries. To be sure, causation is linked to liability. The following are common causes of large truck crashes as identified by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA):

  • Truck driver negligence, which may include distracted driving, drowsy driving, intoxicated driving, or aggressive driving;
  • Car, SUV, motorcycle, or light truck driver negligence, which may include distracted driving, drowsy driving, intoxicated driving, or aggressive driving;
  • Road hazards, such as debris that has not been cleared, large potholes or road damage, or icy roads due to winter weather;
  • Improper loading of the truck trailer, which may involve adding too much cargo such that the truck is overweight or improperly distributing cargo in the trailer;
  • Negligent maintenance of the large truck, which may involve failing to have the truck properly serviced by its owner or careless maintenance work by a mechanic;
  • Truck part defects, like defective tires or defective brakes;
  • Tire blowouts, which can result in jack-knife accidents; and
  • Inclement weather, which may include snowy or icy weather in the winter or excessive rain during the warmer months.
