That is not necessarily the case in truck accidents, in which liability may be split among several parties. Depending on the circumstances of your truck accident, responsible parties could include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The truck driver<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>The driver\u2019s employer<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>The owner of the tractor and the trailer<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>The owner of any freight being delivered<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>The manufacturer of the trailer, tractor, or another part of the truck<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>A third-party maintenance or service company<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you\u2019re unfamiliar with truck accidents, it\u2019s helpful to have a lawyer on your side who understands Rhode Island trucking laws and has experience standing up to trucking companies and their insurers.<\/p>\n<h2>How Our Rhode Island Truck Accident Lawyers Can Make a Difference for You<\/h2>\n<p>Truck accident victims often suffer severe or even fatal injuries. Even a seemingly minor crash can cause neck injuries, concussions, broken bones, and other serious injuries that can affect your daily life and ability to work.<\/p>\n<p>If you were injured or a loved one was killed in a trucking accident, you deserve\u00a0an attorney who understands\u00a0the full financial impact of your accident. Insurance companies are sometimes quick to offer settlements that only cover a fraction of your losses. The attorneys at Bottaro Injury Lawyers want to thoroughly investigate your case and help you pursue the full compensation you deserve.<\/p>\n<p>When you\u00a0hire us\u00a0to handle your claim, we\u2019ll work to help you:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Get the medical treatment<\/strong> you need.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Gather medical records<\/strong> related to your truck accident injuries.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Investigate the cause<\/strong> of your accident.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Calculate current and future financial damages<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Negotiate with the insurance company<\/strong> to seek maximum compensation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Take your case to trial<\/strong> if the insurance company offers an unreasonable settlement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How Long Do You Have to File a Truck Accident Lawsuit in Rhode Island?<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bottarolaw.com\/truck-accident-attorney\/truck-laws-regulations-rhode-island\/\">Rhode Island law<\/a> limits how long you have to file a lawsuit to pursue compensation for losses you sustained in a truck accident. Under Rhode Island\u2019s statute of limitations on truck accident claims, you typically have only three years from the date of the truck accident to file a lawsuit against the parties at fault for the crash. If you file suit after the statute of limitations has expired, the opposing parties can file a motion to have the court permanently dismiss your case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tractor-trailers and other commercial trucks are some of the largest vehicles on the road, which means truck accidents can be extremely dangerous and even fatal.
