Truck and Tractor-Trailer Accidents
Measuring up to 70 feet long and weighing as much as 40 tons, a commercial truck is a massive vehicle that can cause severe damage and bodily injury when one is involved in an accident. Truck accidents are also complicated by the number of parties that could potentially share in the responsibility for the crash. At Ivey, Barnum & O'Mara, LLC, we assist victims injured in any type of semi, truck, or tractor-trailer accident.

Any injury caused by another person's negligence will have a negative effect on the victim's life. Some injuries, however, are so severe that a full physical recovery is not possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Do I Know if I Have a Valid Personal Injury Case? Perhaps the most frequently asked question regarding personal injury lawsuits is whether or not a client actually has a valid injury claim. While the answer will vary based on the circumstances of the specific situation, most personal injury claims stem from the wrongdoing or negligence of another. The negligent party could be a person, business, company, or organization. Fortunately, Ivey, Barnum & O'Mara, LLC offers completely cost-free initial assessments. If you are unsure about whether or not you have a valid personal injury claim, schedule a consultation with our experienced team, and we will discuss your options with you. |
What Types of Damages Can I Recover? Compensatory damages in a personal injury case can include both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages include things such as medical bills, costs related to ongoing physical therapy or other medical treatment, lost wages from missed work, diminished earning capacity, and property damage. Non-economic damages include intangible damages such as mental anguish, pain and suffering, and lost enjoyment of life. In a wrongful death suit, damages can include loss of financial support, loss of parental guidance, funeral and burial expenses, and more. In situations involving an especially grievous act, punitive damages, which are additional funds intended to punish the wrongdoer, may be available. |
Can I Still Sue if I Was Partially Responsible? New York and Connecticut both operate under the rule of comparative negligence or comparative fault. This means that a party who is partially responsible for their own injury can still pursue compensation as long as they are not more at fault than the other party is. In situations involving more than one negligent party, the amount of compensation a claimant is eligible for is reduced by his or her degree of fault. |
