Before you settle with the insurance company or hire an attorney, you need to be armed with the facts.
With all that’s happened to you and your family, you’re probably bewildered about what to do next. People may be telling you to hire a lawyer, and some may encourage you to simply settle with the insurance company. But beware, many law firms will take-on a truck accident case in hopes of an easy payoff, and the trucking company’s insurer would be thrilled to settle with you for a fraction of what you’re owed. Our 24 years’ experience has given us unique insight into how car-vs-truck accident cases are won:
- You Have Already Lost Too Much: Truck accidents are devastating. When you factor an 18-wheeler’s size, its weight, the speed at which it can travel, and the relative vulnerability regular motorists are exposed to, the damage is usually many times greater than a normal passenger-car accident. Because you and your family have experienced life-changing losses due to the serious injury or death of your loved one, major medical trauma, and significant property damage, you need a serious attorney. You can’t waste your one opportunity to seek compensation through a truck accident lawsuit.
- The Defendants Have a Lot to Lose: The trucking company and its insurance provider already knew that the tragedy (which you and your family are just coming to terms with) was a possibility, and unlike you, the trucking company had a plan in place for the accident. They know that they stand to lose hundreds of thousands, or even millions of dollars. Immediately after an accident, their lawyers and investigators are already on the move to insulate them from liability.
- The Insurance Companies are Extremely Aggressive: In all our years of helping victims of wrongful death and personal injury, we’ve never seen more tenacious defense lawyers or claims adjusters than those involved with truck accident cases. When the stakes are this high, the insurance company calls in its top people. They will pressure you to settle with them using any and every technique at their disposal. These people are not your friends, no matter how kind or concerned they sound over the phone or in person. They are pros, and their job is to force you to take less than what you deserve.
- The Law is Complicated: Under normal car accident case law, proving the other driver was negligent and liable for your injuries is relatively straightforward. However, in order to prove the truck driver and trucking company are liable for your losses, you will need an attorney with experience in successfully navigating the municipal, state, and federal roadway safety laws and regulations. Trucking is an extremely regulated industry. Their lawyers know the rules and regulations, and they will use every argument and fact available to show that their drivers were compliant.
Won’t The Trucking Company Just Admit They’re Liable?
We’ve spoken to countless truck accident victims, and in our experience, the biggest mistake they make is to assume that the trucking company will own up to its mistake and compensate the victims. This is incorrect. Trucking companies stand to lose a great deal of money after an accident. Their customers read the news, and it could be disastrous to their company’s image to admit that they hired a negligent driver or that one of their trucks wasn’t loaded properly. No company wants to ship their goods with a shoddy trucking company.
Also, trucking companies have major insurance carriers who are on the hook for your claim. The insurance company is a business with shareholders, employees to pay, and bills of its own. Like any business, it exists to make a profit. It costs them a great deal less to hire expensive attorneys to defeat trucking accident claims than it does to pay victims. And it costs them even less for one of their adjusters to convince you to settle for a fraction of what you need.
“But My Claim Isn’t That Big of a Deal.”
We hear this far too often. After the trauma of an accident, many victims simply want to grieve or attend to their medical issues. They sometimes feel that getting lawyers involved is unnecessary for their claims. The bottom line is, you will need serious compensation for your life to return anywhere near normal. Your medical bills and lost income cannot be fully restored without an experienced, aggressive lawyer who knows how to prosecute claims against trucking companies and their insurers. Your life will never feel the same, and you only have one shot at getting the compensation you will need for the future.
