Being involved in any kind of motor vehicle accident is equal parts scary and overwhelming. But when a collision involves a commercial truck, the consequences can be catastrophic. Truck accidents often result in serious injuries and tremendous property damage due to the massive size and weight of these commercial vehicles. If you or a loved one has been injured in a truck crash, having an experienced personal injury attorney on your side can help you protect your rights and obtain fair compensation. Here's an overview of how working with a lawyer after a truck accident can benefit you.
Maximize compensation for your injuries
The aftermath of a truck collision frequently involves extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation, lost wages from missed work, property damage, and long-term expenses. An attorney will fight to make sure you receive full and fair compensation to cover all accident-related losses. We'll work with accident reconstruction experts to prove liability and push for the maximum settlement or court award possible.
Handle negotiations with insurance companies
Insurance carriers will try to lowball injury victims or get them to say things that hurt their claim. Having a lawyer handle all communication protects you and prevents insurers from taking advantage during the negotiation process. We know how to advocate effectively for full compensation and won’t be bullied into accepting an inadequate settlement offer. Our firm has extracted millions for injured clients over the years.
Deal with complex legal and procedural requirements
Truck accident cases involve extensive paperwork, procedural rules, evidence gathering, and legal complexities. An attorney will deal with all legal filings and requirements, subpoena evidence, consult with experts, and handle other complex aspects of your claim so you can focus on your recovery. We know how to navigate the legal system seamlessly.
Face large insurers, corporations, and defense teams
Trucking companies and their insurers often hire teams of aggressive defense lawyers to try to escape liability after a crash. But our seasoned truck accident attorneys have substantial courtroom experience and won’t be intimidated. We know how to confront corporate defendants effectively and have the resources to build a strong claim on par with big defense firms.
Explore all potential sources of compensation
There are often multiple parties potentially liable after a truck crash, including the driver, trucking company, parts manufacturers, cargo loaders, maintenance companies, and more. An attorney will conduct a thorough investigation into every party that may share the blame and seek compensation accordingly. We leave no stone unturned when establishing liability.
Avoid costly missteps that hurt your claim
Any misstep during the claims process can greatly reduce potential compensation, from providing a recorded statement to accepting an early settlement offer. A lawyer guides you away from accidental mistakes after an accident that insurance companies may try to exploit. We handle your claim strategically from start to finish.
Focus on healing while we handle everything
The aftermath of a truck collision is emotionally and physically draining. With a lawyer handling your claim properly, you can focus solely on your recovery without the hassles and stresses of legalities, paperwork, calls, and meetings. We want you to devote your energy to getting your health and life back on track while we deal with the complex legal process.
