One of the most important decisions that you can make after a serious truck accident is whom you hire to represent you or your family. Because semi trucks are commercial vehicles and covered by commercial vehicle insurance policies, the insurance companies take the claims very seriously.
Often, the trucking company or its insurance company will dispatch a team of lawyers to an accident site in an attempt to defend a serious injury or wrongful death claim after truck accident. Their goal is to find information that can be used against the victim or the victim's family and/or hide important information that may make the truck driver or the trucking company look bad.
When hiring a semi truck accident attorney a family should consider getting a law firm that has their own quick response team to put them on an equal footing with the insurance company. We have had situations where the trucking company, place the vehicle back in service quickly to avoid an inspection and also situations where the paperwork required of the truck driver mysteriously disappeared after the accident.
