A tractor trailer accident lawsuit is often more complex than a car accident. Insurance coverage issues can be complicated, and when the injuries are more significant, the insurance companies will sometimes resist providing fair compensation, resulting in bad faith insurance practices. In many cases, legal action must be brought against multiple defendants, including the operator, the owner of the tractor and/or trailer and additional negligent parties. Dealing with multiple defendants and stubborn insurance companies requires the aid of experienced truck accident attorneys. Driver logs, maintenance records, violations of state and federal laws, and the driving record of the operator are a critical in obtaining the best possible result, whether it is settlement or jury verdict.
Following a truck accident or commercial vehicle crash, most victims are unaware of their rights, while the insurance company is literally photographing the scene of the accident, the damage to the vehicles, the surrounding areas, and are also getting statements from eye witnesses and others. That’s right, the minutes and hours after the accident, while you lie in a hospital bed, pondering your life and the changes that await you, the insurance companies for these often multi-million dollar trucking companies are gathering evidence to undermine and defend your claim! During our free initial consultation, we can evaluate your case, discuss your prospects for obtaining compensation and explain what is involved in the process.
