Indianapolis Walmart Truck Accident Lawyer

Accidents involving large trucks, such as those contracted or owned by Walmart, can be devastating for people who are injured in the crashes. Due to the size and weight of commercial vehicles like Walmart trucks, collisions often result in severe injuries and even fatalities.

According to data from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), large truck crashes account for 11 percent of motor vehicle accident deaths annually. In a recent year, 73 percent of fatal large truck accidents involved tractor-trailers, one of the most common types of trucks Walmart uses.

Legal Rights of Victims in Walmart Truck Accidents

Victims of Walmart truck accidents have the legal right to seek compensation for their injuries from the parties responsible for the crash. However, under Indiana’s personal injury statute of limitations, injured parties have only two years from the accident date to file a lawsuit against the party that injured them.

Families of people killed in crashes with Walmart trucks have the legal right to seek compensation for the loss of their loved ones through wrongful death claims. The time limit for filing a wrongful death claim in Indiana is also two years.

Understanding Liability for Walmart Truck Accidents

There are often multiple liable parties in commercial truck accidents. Our lawyers will determine the identity of all potentially liable parties before filing your lawsuit so you don’t miss out on any compensation. Some examples of liable parties include:

Truck drivers – Truck drivers may be liable if their negligent actions, such as distracted or drowsy driving, contributed to the crash.
Walmart – Walmart may be liable if it directly employed the truck driver or if its business practices contributed to the accident.
Trucking companies – A trucking company may be liable if it controlled drivers contracted to Walmart or if its business practices contributed to the accident.
Maintenance providers – If poor truck maintenance contributed to the wreck, the maintenance provider may be liable.
Cargo loaders – The cargo loaders may be liable if improperly secured cargo contributed to the crash.
Third parties – Other parties may be liable for your injuries if their actions contributed to the crash, such as if another motorist caused a chain-reaction collision.
