New York Texting by Truck and Bus Drivers Accidents

A New York texting by truck and bus drivers accident attorney in New York is a powerful resource in showing the other side that you will not back down when someone else has engaged in dangerous distracted driving behavior. A texting by truck and bus drivers accident lawyer in New York will be a support system to you as you begin to prepare evidence and file a legal claim against responsible parties.

It can be overwhelming to realize that someone was texting or otherwise manipulating their phone while operating a bus or a truck but this happens far more often than many people realize. In fact, it may only be discovered after a thorough inspection of the accident scene that a person was manipulating their phone for using an application or texting prior to an accident happening.

There are many different tools that can be used to extract this type of evidence but it can be a powerful piece of evidence to support your ability to recover compensation when you have been hurt. Anyone who is hurt in a bus or truck driving accident will likely suffer serious injuries and because of the size and weight of these commercial vehicles, it can be very difficult for someone to be able to recover and move on with their life.

As a result of the many different challenges faced by someone who has been seriously hurt in such an accident, it is imperative that the affected party get help immediately. The company hiring the driver might also be responsible.

Texting by truck and bus drivers is something that should never be done but unfortunately, all too often, occurs without the truck driver even thinking about it. The truck driver may assume that he or she has enough control over the vehicle to be able to use a cell phone, but since texting and driving accidents are already associated with significantly devastating outcomes in traditional passenger vehicles, the stakes are much higher when it is a truck or bus driver. A New York texting by truck or bus driver accident lawyer will look into all the specifics of your case and identify who could be held accountable.

Many people do not realize that multiple people or parties may be named as liable in these types of lawsuits. This is because the truck driver, of course, will have some level of accountability for engaging in texting and driving behavior but the employer who hired that person may also be responsible for negligent hiring or negligent supervision.

The only way to identify who all could be held liable in such a lawsuit is to retain the services of an experienced accident lawyer who has a strong track record in representing the best interests of victims.

Far too many people make the mistake of selecting a settlement offer that is given to them immediately after the accident has occurred by the trucking insurance company. This likely does not consider all of the long-term impacts of your life after you have sustained an injury because a truck driver was texting and driving.

This is why you need to have your case evaluated by an experienced personal injury attorney who will not let the other side off the hook without compensation that will pay for all of your medical bills and other associated expenses.

The stakes are extremely high in a texting by truck or bus driver accident and this is why you want to retain an attorney immediately after you have been seriously hurt. Without an attorney at your side, it will be stressful and frustrating to pursue your accident claim.

When my mom, who is suffering from dementia, faced a slip and fall personal injury lawsuit, I contacted Stephen Bilkis of the Law Offices of Stephen Bilkis & Associates. Not only did he provide a strategy for defending the claim, he also advised me on steps to take to avoid future personal liability. Whether you are the defendant or plaintiff in an injury case, I highly recommend Mr. Bilkis. S.M.
★★★★★
From the very first phone call to Stephen Bilkis' office, the staff was extremely polite and helpful in assisting me. Mr. Bilkis was honest and upfront with me from the beginning in what he projected the outcome of my case would be; in the end we got better results than either of us anticipated. He was very genuine and compassionate in understanding my situation and how this legal matter could effect not only myself but my family as well. I highly recommend this law firm and will most definitely continue using them for any future legal needs. Jarrett

I had my first encounter with Mr. Stephen Bilkis three years ago over the phone. He and his staff have been nothing but courtesy and professional. Their hard work ended with a large six-figure settlement for my case. I would highly recommend you contact his office. I want to give a special THANK YOU to Ms. Tricia Krapf. She always made me feel like a priority and was always kind and professional over the phone and email. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of legal representation. Celesta
