Determining Liability

Determining liability in truck accidents is more challenging than it is in auto accidents. Truck accidents often involve multiple parties, including the truck driver, trucking company, truck contractor, truck manufacturer and the insurance company.

Uncovering Important Evidence

Truck accident attorneys are intimately familiar with discovery rules and can use them to preserve evidence and to uncover it. We can conduct a thorough investigation into the causes of your accident and request reports, documents and other evidence that can help explain how the accident occurred and why another party is responsible.

Selecting the Best Legal Strategy

Our seasoned truck accident lawyers are experienced in truck accident cases and can examine your case to determine the best legal strategy. We can explore all available options and recommend the approach that is most likely to yield the best results for your case, whether that means filing an insurance claim, proceeding to trial, negotiating a favorable settlement or arbitrating the case.

Handling Communications with the Insurance Companies

Insurance adjusters and other representatives use a variety of techniques to try to minimize the payout on insurance claims or deny them altogether. They may try tactics like getting a recorded statement from you to ultimately use against you or denying your claim because of a slight delay on your part.

An experienced attorney can examine the circumstances of your case to determine an approximate value of your claim. He or she can submit a detailed demand letter to the insurance company that accounts for these damages.
