You could seek compensation for the injuries you sustained in a truck accident through a truck accident lawsuit. In Albany, plaintiffs generally must file this claim within three years of the date on which the accident occurred.
A truck accident lawsuit seeks to satisfy two requirements:
To show who is liable (legally responsible) for causing the injury. Liability is proven by showing that the truck driver owed you a duty of care, that his or her fatigue was contrary to the duty of care that was owed, and that this contrary action resulted in the accident which caused your injury.
To show the expenses and impact of your injury to justify the damages you are seeking. In the legal arena, the word “damage” refers to a payment made in compensation for harm.
