Why You Need a Truck Accident Attorney
Trucking Companies Have Legal Teams
Within hours of an accident, trucking companies deploy investigators and attorneys to minimize their liability. You need an experienced advocate on your side to level the playing field.
Multiple Liable Parties
Truck accident cases often involve the driver, trucking company, cargo loaders, vehicle manufacturers, and maintenance providers. An attorney identifies all responsible parties to maximize your compensation.
Federal Regulations Apply
Commercial trucks are governed by FMCSA regulations on hours of service, maintenance, cargo securement, and more. Violations of these rules can establish negligence in your case.
Higher Settlements with Representation
Studies show that accident victims who hire attorneys receive settlements 3.5 times higher on average than those who negotiate on their own with insurance companies.
