What it Means to Let Our Erie UPS Truck Accident Attorneys Handle Your Claim

Recovering damages from a truck crash in Erie can be challenging on your own. The sooner you get our law firm involved in your case, the more time we have to build the strongest possible injury claim. Our experienced team of Erie personal injury lawyers will use every tool at our disposal to ensure a positive outcome for your case.

It also means we will communicate with the insurance company right from the start, so you do not have to. Our early involvement means we can protect you from speedy, but flawed, settlement offers, bad faith insurance tactics, and saying or signing anything that could potentially harm your truck accident claim.

We will manage all the moving parts of your case, including:

• Investigating the accident
• Assessing your damages
• Speaking to witnesses
• Building a solid case file
• Providing ongoing updates 

We also manage the settlement negotiation process, including fielding offers, making counteroffers, and fighting for maximum compensation. The final choice to accept or reject a settlement is yours, so we work hard to guide you toward a well-informed decision.

Our Contingency Fee Structure Means You Can Get Started Immediately

It costs nothing upfront and there are no out-of-pocket costs to hire our Erie UPS truck accident attorneys—no hefty retainers and no hourly fees. We cover all the costs of investigating, preparing, and filing your truck accident lawsuit. You only compensate us for our legal services when we recover damages for you, and you owe no fees at all if we do not recover damages.

Recoverable Damages Available for Injured Truck Accident Victims

Financial compensation after a truck accident can include economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages are measurable and easy to document. They typically include:

• Past and future medical bills
• Past and future loss of income
• Loss of future ability to earn
• Property damage or total loss
• Diminished property value

Non-economic damages, also recoverable after trucking accidents, are immeasurable and can be more challenging to document. They typically include: 

• Physical disability
• Disfigurement
• Pain and suffering
• Mental anguish
• Emotional distress
• Diminished quality of life

We will also file a wrongful death lawsuit and fight for damages if your family lost a loved one in the accident. In rare cases, you could also recover punitive damages. If they are possible in your case, our UPS truck accident lawyers serving Erie will inform you.

Understand the Time Limits of Pennsylvania’s Statute of Limitations

According to Pa. C.S.A. § 5524, you generally have two years to file your personal injury lawsuit. If the filing deadline expires:

• The court can refuse the filing of your lawsuit
• Your lawsuit may be dismissed immediately
• The insurance company could stop negotiating

The best way to avoid these costly consequences is to let our law firm file your lawsuit for you. We can accurately interpret the statute of limitations and meet all notification and filing deadlines. 

How We Establish Financial Liability in Erie Truck Accident Cases

Truck accident claims can be particularly complicated since identifying the at-fault party can be challenging. You may want to pursue UPS for damages, but a thorough investigation might identify another (or multiple) liable parties. 

According to Pa. C.S.A. § 7102, fault and financial liability are defined by negligence, so we work hard to clarify the at-fault party’s role in the collision. Our investigation will also prove its elements—duty of care, breach of duty, causation, and damages.

Evidence We Collect to Prove the At-Fault Party’s Negligence and Liability

The physical evidence and documents that go into a comprehensive case file can come from multiple sources. We collect all the evidence needed to prove your right to fair compensation, including: 

• Official records: Police reports, accident reconstruction, and medical records
• Proof of income: Paycheck stubs, direct deposit receipts, and tax records
• Photos: The accident scene, your injuries, and all involved vehicles
• Video footage: Traffic camera, dashcam, security, and smartphone footage
• Witness statements: Eyewitnesses, trucking industry professionals, expert witnesses

Leave evidence collection to our legal team. We will not tax you or your family with this time-consuming task. Instead, we handle it for you, including organizing your case file and submitting it to the at-fault party and their insurer.
