The Law Offices of Nolan, Caddell & Reynolds
If you speak to an Arkansas trucking accident attorney he or she will explain that accidents are very different from other vehicle crashes due to the size of tractor-trailers. Unless you are also driving a vehicle of a similar size, you are almost guaranteed of sustaining very serious injuries. And the complexity of the laws surrounding the trucking industry can make it difficult to fully collect for all the expenses associated with your injury. Companies typically have lawyers on staff to defend them from lawsuits. You need an experienced Arkansas truck accident attorney from Nolan, Caddell & Reynolds to protect your interests in these complicated cases.
Proving fault for your trucking accident
Trucking accidents often are caused due to driver negligence. However, there are other causes for these types of accidents:
- Negligence of the trucking company,
- Negligence of those responsible for inspecting, maintaining, and repairing the vehicle
- Poor road conditions
- Any combination of negligent acts
What happens if you are partly to blame for the accident? Under Arkansas comparative negligence law, the modified comparative fault rule states that you may be able to collect partial compensation, even if you are less than 50 percent at fault. But proving degree of negligence takes the experience of a trucking accident attorney in Arkansas from Nolan, Caddell & Reynolds.
