Aurora Truck Accident Lawyer


Being part of the GTA, Aurora is part of a major network that sees a large number of vehicles on its roads every day. With Highway 11, Highway 48, and Highway 404 nearby, many of those vehicles are transport trucks that sometimes get into accidents with other motorists.

Due to the immense size and weight of transports, it is often the other driver that sustains the worst injuries.

Those injuries can cost the victim a lot of money including medical expenses, vehicle repairs, and loss of income. Accident victims can file a lawsuit in order to claim compensation for these losses, but they will need a good personal injury lawyer in Aurora to help them. If you have been injured in a trucking accident, contact an Aurora truck accident lawyer today.

Causes of Truck Accidents

Truck accidents can occur for a number of reasons. One of the largest causes of truck accidents used to be driver fatigue due to the fact that drivers were simply driving too long trying to make tight deadlines.

Today, Ontario has stricter guidelines to prevent these types of accidents, but fatigue is still sometimes a factor.

Other causes of truck accidents include:

  • Merging lanes without seeing a smaller vehicle beside them
  • Jackknifing
  • Rollovers
  • Unstable loads
  • Truck failure, such as tire blowouts
  • Failure of truck driver to stop in time (transport trucks typically need about 90 metres to stop effectively)

When one of these instances has caused a truck accident, those injured need to speak to a truck accident lawyer in Aurora as soon as possible.

Common Injuries

Aurora has seen several truck accidents in recent history, and they all prove that there is no such thing as a minor truck accident. Transport trucks and other commercial vehicles are very big and can weigh a lot, especially if they are carrying a large load. Because of this, when they crash with another vehicle the damage and injuries can be some of the most severe seen in any type of vehicle accident.

While broken bones are typically seen in car accidents, they can also become much more serious in a truck accident. Breaks to the legs, arms, or spinal area can result in paralysis, a common injury after these types of accidents. Amputations may also be necessary.

The other most severe injuries after a truck accident are those to the head. These can result in traumatic brain injuries, concussions, and more. These injuries, as well as loss of limbs, can remain with a person for the rest of their life and greatly affect their quality of life.

In the worst cases, fatalities may occur as a result of truck accidents. In these cases, family members should contact an Aurora truck accident lawyer that can help them with that type of personal injury claim.

Claiming Compensation

Accident victims with any injuries to themselves or their vehicle may be able to file a lawsuit to claim compensation for those injuries. A lawyer will need to examine the case, as claims may be filed against the truck driver or the trucking company.

If the driver was not properly trained or licensed to drive a transport truck, the trucking company may be held liable for allowing them to operate one. Or, if the company knew that the driver was not responsible or competent enough to drive a truck but allowed them to anyway, the company may also be held responsible.

If the trucking company provided the right training, the driver had no history of accidents, and other qualifications were in place, the driver could be held personally responsible for the accident if they were negligent.

Benefit of a Lawyer

Truck accidents are some of the most serious accidents that happen on Aurora’s roads, and those injured by them need compensation for their injuries. If you or a loved one has been injured in a truck accident, contact a qualified Aurora truck accident lawyer that can review your case with you.
