Tow Truck Accident Attorney Washington DC

Serious injuries deserve experienced attorneys

Tow Truck Accident AttorneyWhen people think of tow trucks, they tend to think of the trucks and their drivers as coming to their rescue, but, unfortunately, there are many situations that warrant the need of a top tow truck accident attorney. While an accident involving a tow truck often occurs for similar reasons and from similar situations compared to accidents involving more common automobiles, there are different factors that can come into the legal aspects of this kind of accident.

If you or someone close to you has been injured in an accident involving a tow truck, or if someone you love has died as the result of this kind of accident, an experienced tow truck accident attorney Washington DC may be able to help determine whether you are entitled to monetary compensation for this accident.

Tow Truck Drivers

Driving a tow truck takes special skills and training in addition to what people typically undergo to get a regular driver’s license. The requirements to become a tow truck driver vary from state to state but most states require people to pass a series of tests and licensing programs in order to legally drive a tow truck. Even with the time and money it takes to become a tow truck driver, tow truck drivers are humans–and humans make mistakes.

If you or someone you love has been injured in an accident involving what you think may be a tow truck driver’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation. If, as the result of an accident, you are unwell or caring for someone who is, or if you and your family are grieving, talking to a compassionate tow truck accident attorney may help to alleviate some of the stress, anxiety, and fear that often come with an accident.

Accidents with Tow Trucks

An accident with a tow truck can cause significant damage to the vehicles involved, and serious injuries to passengers and drivers in both vehicles. A tow truck that is not towing a car is still heavy and slow in it’s ability to accelerate, slow down, and maneuver. It also has many extraneous parts on top of the base. When even a small vehicle is being towed, it can significantly increase the impact of these hazards. Larger and longer vehicles can increase the potential for risk of an accident as well as an increase in the amount of damage that occurs because of an accident.

Regardless of whether the tow truck was or was not towing a vehicle and regardless of the size of a vehicle it was towing, if you and other people in your car have been injured as the result of an accident with a tow truck driver, you may need the help of a tow truck accident attorney.

After an Accident

As much as possible, create a tangible record of your accident. If you can, take photos of the accident scene, talk to witnesses and either record or write down what they say, and collect other information that might be able to be used as evidence in your claim.

If you or someone you love was injured in an accident with a tow truck, it is important to go to the doctor as soon as possible even if you do not think there is anything wrong with you. Many injuries that occur during accidents are asymptomatic to the victim and can become dangerous if they go undiagnosed. It is important for there to be a record of any physical problems an accident may have caused. Talking to an experienced tow truck accident attorney may help you and your loved ones understand what they need to do to help an attorney build a case for you and them.

The above ideas are a basic but not comprehensive explanation of everything that should be done in the aftermath of an accident. A qualified tow truck accident attorney understands how to utilize laws and procedures that are necessary to try to get compensation for tow truck accident victims. If you or someone close to you has been injured in an accident with a truck driver, or if a family member or spouse has died as the result of this kind of accident, a knowledgeable tow truck accident attorney in Maryland, Virginia and or Washington DC may be able to help you with the legal aspects of your case so that you and your family can focus on healing.
