Dealing with Insurance Companies after a Truck Crash is not Fun.
Commercial truck accidents can be catastrophic. A wrongful death settlement and/or compensation for somebody who is permanently disabled can run into the millions. The insurance companies are in business to make money, and they will try to offer you the least amount possible in exchange for you signing a waiver of your claim. Do not do this. Once you sign their waiver, you may lose your right to get compensation.
The sooner you consult with a knowledgeable truck accident attorney, the better. Evidence needed to build your case is more likely to be available soon after the accident, and witnesses’ statements should be taken while the facts and circumstances are still fresh in their minds.
Trucking companies often have their own legal teams in place, ready to respond at a moment’s notice to protect the company’s financial interests by looking for any reason to avoid taking responsibility for an accident, which may mean obscuring evidence or attempting to place the blame on the injured party, so it is important to get an attorney so they can investigate for you while the evidence is still available.
Truck drivers’ logbooks are vital in an investigation of an accident that may have been caused by driver fatigue. Because logs are sometimes falsified, investigators often need to look at other evidence that shows how long a driver was behind the wheel. This could include cell phone records, toll tickets, and fuel receipts.
You should also bear in mind that there is a statute of limitations – a time limit imposed by law – within which to file an injury claim.
STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS
Every state has a statute of limitations during which truck accident victims must file a claim or they will be denied the right to do so at a later date. It is imperative that you contact a Truck accident injury attorney right away to fight on your behalf before it’s too late.
