When Should You Call a Lawyer for a Truck Accident?

We recommend that you call one of our experienced attorneys as soon as possible after being in a truck accident. Whether you were the driver, passenger, or another injured party, we can quickly begin investigating the details of your case to determine whether you have grounds for a personal injury lawsuit. Even if you only have minor injuries or property damage, we can help you recover compensation for economic and non-economic damages resulting from the crash. As a victim in a truck accident, you should not be responsible for paying for medical bills or other costs that resulted from another person’s negligence. You should hire an attorney for a truck accident if:

• You or your minor child sustained injuries in a truck accident.
• There are questions as to who is at fault for the accident.
• Your insurance company or the other party’s insurance company is denying the claim.
• You suffered from property damage or non-economic damages due to the accident.
• The accident occurred on the job or during your job duties, but your employer is not paying your medical bills or compensating you for other damages.

What to Expect When You Work with Our Team

Truck accidents usually involve large or commercial trucks like 18-wheelers, tractor-trailers, semi trucks, or big rigs. The size and weight of these vehicles can cause major damage in an accident, and truck accidents often cause severe injuries, property damage, and/or death. When you work with our team of experienced personal injury attorneys, we will begin by fully investigating the details of your case to see who is at fault. We will review police reports, photographs, and other records related to the accident, first responder reports or interviews, witness interviews, maintenance logs, and other information. We will schedule interviews and depositions to gather more information.

If you have grounds for a lawsuit, we will file one on your behalf and name the at-fault party or parties as the defendant(s). We will support you throughout the legal process and ensure you know what to expect during each stage. We will negotiate on your behalf with insurance companies, opposing attorneys, and other interested parties. Our goals are to prove your damages, prove who is at fault, and obtain a settlement or judgment award that compensates you for your damages. If your case proceeds to court, we will represent you in front of a judge and/or jury and argue your case.
