3 Defenses to Watch Out for When Filing a Truck Accident Claim
A defense that may be used by the driver is that you had an assumption of risk. In other words, you were acting in a manner in which you had awareness of the inherent danger.
For instance, let’s say it was discovered that your brakes were faulty at the time of the accident but you previously knew something was wrong with them. Despite the driver’s negligence it may be argued that your inability to stop was a risk you assumed.
Another defense that may be used is that you were either just as much at fault for the accident or you were even more at fault. They may try to blame your injuries on your own actions.
Finally, they may try to argue that your injuries were not directly caused by the accident. If you had a prior injury from another accident, it may be used against you. Understand that your claim for compensation may involve more than the driver and that you deserve justice and compensation from all parties they may be held accountable for the injuries you sustained.
