Website design By BotEap.comWhile it is true that the damages in an 18-wheeler accident case are often much higher than those in other car accidents, the truth is that, from a legal standpoint, these cases are not similar. Litigating an 18-wheeler accident claim is far more complex and technical than litigating a passenger car accident claim, and you should not attempt to win this legal battle alone. Fortunately, there are many attorneys who specialize in 18-wheeler accident claims to help you understand what your options are and how to seek justice. When looking for a lawyer, shop around. Do not choose the first one you find in the phone book or Internet search. Make sure the attorney you choose is experienced and, more importantly, successful in handling 18-wheeler accident claims.

Website design By BotEap.comCommercial insurance policies that protect trucking companies and their drivers are often worth fifty times more than a standard passenger vehicle policy. This means there is a lot of money at stake for trucking companies and their insurance providers, and they will do everything they can to avoid paying you. The commercial insurance adjusters employed by these insurance companies are astute. They know that most accident victims have no idea how complex a truck accident can be from a legal standpoint. Insurance adjusters often approach accident victims soon after they arrive at the hospital and begin bombarding them with questions about their accident. In most cases, they act friendly and cooperative, like they just want to know what happened so they can help you file your insurance claim.

They have many ways to do this, but the easiest is to have you accidentally say something incriminating. They may ask you to describe your accident and then paraphrase the situation for you, as if to make sure they understand what happened. However, in most cases, they have subtly altered what you said in particular ways, and once you accept their summary of facts, it is likely that you have accepted partial responsibility for your injuries. Talking to insurance adjusters without the help of an experienced attorney can only harm your claim, and it is imperative that you seek legal representation as soon as possible so that your rights are protected. Our attorneys know all the tricks insurance adjusters have up their sleeves, and we can make sure they don’t hurt your claim.

Website design By BotEap.comMany 18-wheeler accident victims also make the mistake of assuming they can scare insurance companies into offering them a fair settlement by threatening to sue. However, the truth is that non-lawyers simply cannot win these lawsuits. Trucking companies have a team of contracted defense attorneys, and these attorneys have closed hundreds of lawsuits filed by accident victims. The trucking companies know that you don’t stand a chance against this team of professionals, so they won’t be scared off by your attempts to sue at all. Do you know how to prove the damages? Submit an application package? Respond to an admissions list? If not, you probably aren’t prepared to represent yourself in court.
