Truck Accident Claim Basics

The truck driver’s insurance company will begin investigating the accident immediately. The insurance company will try to clear the driver of any wrongdoing. If that isn’t possible, the company will likely extend a small settlement offer to the victim. Insurance companies want to settle claims for as little as possible and make them go away. Unfortunately, some people agree to a lowball settlement, only to have major expenses down the road. They cannot receive additional compensation if they’ve already settled, so they have to handle the bills themselves. Victims should not accept a settlement or make a statement to the insurance company before consulting an experienced truck accident attorney.

Consulting with an attorney is not the same as filing a lawsuit. You have the option of settling the claim, even if you consult with an attorney. However, instead of settling yourself, your attorney can negotiate on your behalf. Your attorney also might recommend that you take the case to court to ensure you recover the necessary damages.

Truck Accidents

Most Atlanta truck accidents occur due to visibility problems. Commercial trucks often cannot see motorcycles and small vehicles, causing them to collide when the truck attempts to switch lanes. Accidents can also occur when small vehicles attempt to pass a truck. If the truck driver cannot see the vehicle, he or she is likely to cause an accident.

Truck drivers can also cause accidents when they drive at high speeds. Trucks are difficult to control at high speeds and can lead to devastating accidents. When a truck is driving at a high rate of speed, it’s hard to maneuver, and it can drive right into a slower-moving vehicle. If the truck driver was at fault for the accident, you can file a personal injury claim to collect damages.

“As a former felony prosecutor, I believe that there is no fight that is too small or too big to fight when seeking justice for my clients.”

Do I have a case?

If you or a loved one were a victim of a truck accident, you might have a case against the at-fault party. You must comply with the legal guidelines to file a successful claim. That includes filing the claim before the statute of limitations expires and proving that the other driver was at fault. You also must prove that the truck accident caused your injuries. Other conditions must be satisfied, as well. Fast and deliberate action is critical after a truck accident. An experienced truck accident attorney can evaluate the evidence, determine if you have a claim, and file the necessary paperwork on your behalf.

How much is my case worth?

Each case is unique and must be evaluated by an experienced attorney to determine potential compensation. Your attorney will consider your verifiable losses, the severity of your injury, the at-fault party’s degree of negligence, and more. Then, your attorney can provide information regarding the potential value of your legal claim.

We understand the complex nature of truck accident claims. We will evaluate your claim and then can help you recover damages that might include lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.
