The aftermath of any truck accident can be challenging to resolve, and these accidents can raise very difficult questions of liability. Many truck accidents happen for the same reasons as other accidents, such as speeding or distracted driving, but they can also occur when trucking companies fail to follow regulations enforced by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).
According to the FMCSA, there were more than 5,900 trucks and buses involved in fatal crashes in 2021. Many other trucks were involved in injury-causing accidents. The Connecticut Crash Data Repository reported that in 2024 alone, there were 62 FMCSA-qualifying crashes in Stamford that involved 155 people. These accidents have a very high chance of causing severe or fatal injuries.
Recovering From a Truck Accident in Stamford
There are more than 136,000 people living in Stamford, and every driver needs to know what to do after an accident. Connecticut law upholds a fault-based system for resolving vehicle accident cases. This means you have to prove fault for a recent accident before you can claim compensation for the damages you suffered in a truck accident. Liability could fall to a truck driver, their employer, the driver of another vehicle, or a combination of multiple defendants.
Your Stamford truck accident lawyer can help you direct your recovery efforts, and this will likely entail an auto insurance claim. Trucking companies usually have commercial coverage that provides more than the typical individual policy, but this does not mean you should assume that filing your insurance claim will be easy.
