Truck Accident Lawyers Are Ready To Help

First, make sure you take care of yourself and your loved ones immediately. Get to a safe place, away from traffic, and call 911.

Sometime after the accident, you will be contacted by a claims adjuster working for the truck company's insurance company. Most attorneys advise to never speak to a claims adjuster without consulting an experienced lawyer first. Claim adjusters may appear friendly but remember that they don't work for your benefit and actually want to settle your claim as cheaply as possible by trying to get you to admit things that will hurt your claim. Call us today to get connected with lawyers who have years of experience dealing with trucking and insurance companies and are familiar with all the tricks they try to pull to deny you the compensation you deserve for your recovery.

The right law expert will guide you through the complex process of deciding if a personal injury lawsuit is the right course of action for you.

Sometimes negotiating a fair insurance claim is impossible (due to lack of proper insurance or under-insurance), and the only course of action left is to pursue legal action against the trucking company.

An experienced attorney will know what it takes to win your case, including gathering evidence and working with expert witnesses pooled from the trucking industry to help establish that the trucking company is legally at fault for your accident.

Unfortunately for drivers of passenger vehicles (and even pedestrians), truck accidents are becoming more common, and by their nature (a large commercial vehicle striking a smaller personal one or a pedestrian), they can cause more severe injuries when compared to accidents between private cars.

It’s important to determine if the vehicle involved in your accident is considered a truck from a legal point of view.

Vehicles considered trucks from a legal point of view include:

• 18 Wheelers
• Dump Trucks
• Commercial And Public Buses
• Cargo Trucks
• Tractor Trailers
• Semi Trucks
• Moving Vans
• Construction Trucks
• Fire Trucks
• Ambulances & EMS Trucks
• Logging Trucks
• Tow Trucks
• Tanker Trucks

Truck accident settlements involving corporate insurance companies can be quite complicated. A qualified truck injury lawyers will defend your interests and have extensive experience negotiating with corporate insurance companies on your behalf in order to obtain the maximum compensation possible to aid in your recovery.

Commercial trucks are bigger and heavier than passenger cars. Even without cargo, the average city delivery truck can weigh up to 20 thousand pounds. Cement trucks can weigh a lot more (around 35 thousand pounds). Even a pickup truck and commercial SUV weigh a lot more than the average passenger car.

Another factor contributing to truck accidents is the way corporations run their trucking operations. Their drivers are often overworked and face long working hours over long distances. Tired drivers are an accident risk, and some trucking companies have also been known to cut corners when it comes to maintenance.

Commercial trucks may also carry flammable or hazardous materials. If these flammable and toxic materials are released after a truck accident, it can risk the lives of other drivers, first responders, and even the local community.
