Rochester, New York, Truck Accidents

Jed Dietrich, Esq. and His Team of Rochester Truck Accident Attorneys at the Dietrich Law Firm P.C. Fight to Obtain the Highest Possible Compensation for Victims of Truck Accidents in Rochester, New York.

Rochester is an anchor of Western New York, headquartering hundreds of companies from dozens of different industries. With the city aggressively pursuing new economic programs, it is little wonder that Rochester’s roads are among the busiest in the region. Every day, countless semi-trucks occupy our city streets and highways, picking up and taking away cargo destined for use across the United States. Unfortunately, when there is road traffic, there are accidents, too. While most semi-truck drivers are seasoned professionals, they still can—and often do—make mistakes. And when a semi-truck driver makes a mistake, the consequences can be catastrophic.

If you or a loved one have been involved in a Rochester truck accident, you may feel like you are fighting an uphill battle: you may be facing expensive car repairs and ever-increasing hospital bills, on top of the money you lost taking time away from work. You do not need to bear the burden of a Rochester truck accident all by yourself—especially when the accident was not your fault. Jed Dietrich, Esq., knows how to negotiate with insurance adjusters and truck companies to get you the recovery you need. If you or a loved one were hurt in a Rochester truck crash, do not let justice pass you by. Call us today at 585-939-3939.

A truck accident can happen anywhere: the highway, the city, even the country roads outside of town. However, just like every other big city in America, Rochester has its own danger zones when it comes to vehicle crashes and collisions. Some of these are:

1. Downtown Rochester;
2. Stretches of Lake Avenue, especially in and around commercial zones; and
3. Highway on-ramps and off-ramps, especially those in and around downtown.

In fact, Rochester’s Inner Loop was recently ranked among the worst highways in the United States: not only does it make it difficult for residents to cycle and walk from their homes into the city’s commercial center, it creates abrupt transitions from slow-paced city traffic to high-speed movement.

If you were hurt on one of Rochester’s dangerous roadways, you need a local attorney’s help to demonstrate how the circumstances caused or contributed to your injury. Call Jed Dietrich, Esq., today at 585-939-3939. 

Just like accident-prone roads and poor urban planning—local weather conditions can also play a role in Rochester truck crashes. Rochester’s geographic location—scarcely an hour northeast of Lake Erie and on the shores of Lake Ontario—makes it vulnerable not only to heavy rains but lake-effect snow, too. In fact, Rochester, along with much of Western New York, gets some of the heaviest snowfall in the region. Heavy rains and snowfall can make it more difficult for truck drivers to:

1. See potential obstacles;
2. Avoid potential obstacles;
3. Control their vehicles; and
4. Safely make and take deliveries.

While truck drivers have a special responsibility to go slow in inclement weather, the stresses of their jobs mean they sometimes take unnecessary, dangerous risks. When another person’s negligence causes you to get hurt, you should never be the one to bear the burden of recovery. An experienced Rochester truck accident attorney can help you get the money you need to treat your injuries. Jed Dietrich, Esq., has years of experience representing truck accident victims in Rochester and across Western New York and has regularly helped his clients secure seven-figure settlements. Contact us today to schedule your initial no-obligation consultation at 585-939-3939.

You might be able to recover from a broken arm or leg in a matter of months. While fractures are certainly preferable to traumatic brain injuries or paralysis, the costs can still add up—and they often add up far faster than most people expect.

Consider this: when you are in the hospital, you are not only paying for the physician’s services, your bed, and any prescription medication you receive. You are also paying for the time you have had to take away from work to get treated, and the time you will need to recuperate before you can return to the workplace. When you are already strained by medical bills, losing income—and potentially your job—can make an already bad situation even worse.

However, a Rochester truck crash lawyer can help you recover the money you have lost because of someone else’s negligence. Jed Dietrich, Esq., can help you pursue damages for:

1. Your hospital bills and other medical expenses, such as surgery, bone-setting, and prescription medications;
2. Physician follow-ups and specialist appointments;
3. Physical rehabilitation and therapy;
4. The income you have lost by taking time away from work, along with the income you believe you will lose during your recovery;
5. Decreased earning potential, in the case of disabling or otherwise life-changing accidents;
6. Pain and suffering;
7. Disfigurement; and
8. Loss of enjoyment of life.

Without a Rochester truck crash attorney’s help, you might not recover enough money to pay your hospital bills—let alone your lost income and other costs of continuing care.
