Common Causes of Truck Accidents in Indiana

Truck accidents can result from various factors, many of which are preventable. Common causes include:

• Driver Fatigue: Long hours behind the wheel can lead to dangerous drowsy driving.
• Distracted Driving: Texting, eating, or using a GPS can divert a truck driver’s attention from the road.
• Impaired Driving: Alcohol, drugs, or medications can impair judgment and reaction times.
• Mechanical Failures: Poor maintenance of brakes, tires, or other components can lead to catastrophic failures.
• Improper Cargo Loading: Overloaded or unsecured cargo can destabilize the truck, causing rollovers or spills.
• Adverse Weather Conditions: Rain, snow, and ice make it harder for trucks to stop or maneuver safely.

Our team investigates every detail to determine the cause of your accident and identify all liable parties.

How Our Indiana Truck Accident Lawyers Can Help

Whether your accident occurred in a smaller town or a busy metropolitan area like Indianapolis, our truck accident lawyers are equipped to handle your case with precision and care. At Christie Farrell Lee & Bell, we take a comprehensive approach to truck accident cases, ensuring no detail is overlooked. Here’s how we work to secure the compensation you deserve:

• Thorough Investigation: Collecting evidence such as police reports, witness statements, and accident reconstruction data.

• Negotiation and Litigation: Handling all communications with insurance companies and being fully prepared to take your case to trial if necessary.

What If You’re Partially at Fault?

Indiana follows a modified comparative fault rule, meaning you can recover compensation as long as your fault does not exceed 50%. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.

For example:

• If you’re 20% at fault and your damages total $100,000, your compensation would be reduced to $80,000.

Our attorneys work tirelessly to minimize your fault percentage and maximize your recovery.
