Trucking Company Named in Auto Accident Lawsuit

A personal injury is that life-changing moment when you are seriously injured as the result of someone else’s negligence or carelessness. The most obvious example of this is an automobile accident.

Waiting for a personal injury case to settle can be very difficult financially and mentally. Injuries may prevent the victim from earning a living and support a family. A financially desperate plaintiff is not in a favorable position regarding settlement negotiations; this person will often settle for too little, too soon. Litigation funding helps plaintiffs take care of financial obligations while giving their attorney the time needed to seek appropriate justice.

A Missouri man recently filed an auto accident lawsuit against a commercial trucking company alleging negligence.
According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that in September 2015, he was traveling in a Dodge Ram pick-up truck when he collided with a semi-truck. The pick-up was heavily damaged and had to be towed from the scene.

The plaintiff alleges that the cause of the crash was because the semi driver failed to reduce speed, failed to yield the right-of-way, and failed to keep a proper lookout. The suit also claims that the trucking company failed provide adequate training and failed to obey the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, Illinois law, safe trucking industry standards and safe commercial truck driving rules.

As a result of the crash, the plaintiff claims he suffered physical injuries and incurred expenses in excess of $60,485.02. He requests a trial by jury and seeks judgment for a sum in excess of $100,000.

During the litigation process, the plaintiff’s attorney must prove the driver of the tractor trailer was negligent at the time of the accident. This could take months, even years. Without sufficient savings, the plaintiff may have a hard time paying medical expenses, the mortgage/rent, or even put food on the table. For someone with pressing financial needs, waiting is not an option. As long as the case is strong and the plaintiff has attorney representation, litigation funding is usually a viable solution.
