Large trucks have load limits to help keep people safe. Adding too much weight makes the truck harder to control, which can lead to serious accidents and devastating injuries.
If you or a loved one has been injured in an overloaded/overweight truck accident in Mankato, talk to a well-versed truck accident attorney about your options. Our experienced legal team at Maschka, Riedy, Ries & Frentz can help you get the maximum available compensation for your claim.
Accidents involving large trucks, especially when those trucks are overweight, are more likely to cause serious injuries that require major medical bills and a long recovery.
To sue after an overweight truck accident, the injured party needs to meet a tort threshold by having medical bills of at least $4,000, suffering a permanent injury or disfigurement, or being disabled for at least 60 days because of an accident. If someone is killed by an overloaded truck, their loved ones may also be able to file a wrongful death claim.
Whether you can file a personal injury claim after an overloaded/overweight truck accident in Mankato is not always obvious. However, the skilled legal team at Maschka, Riedy, Ries & Frentz is here to help you secure the best possible recovery.
