Here are some of the reasons why it’s so critical to hire an experienced truck accident lawyer:
An Experienced Lawyer Knows What Evidence to Look For
Truck accidents can involve complicating factors that a layperson may be unaware of. For example, the accident could have been caused by fatigued driving or a mechanical issue. An experienced attorney can launch a rapid response investigation and issue preservation of evidence letters so that critical evidence does not get lost or destroyed. This can help retain evidence that could be invaluable in your case, such as:
You Could Have Extensive Damages
Because trucks are so much larger and heavier than standard passenger vehicles, the occupants in the smaller vehicles tend to suffer serious injuries. You could have sustained a traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, or other severe injury. You could be owed extensive compensation to pay for your medical bills, make up for your lost earning potential, and compensate you for your considerable pain and suffering. However, the trucking and insurance companies will not make the process of recovering fair compensation easy for you. An experienced truck accident attorney can negotiate on your behalf for fair compensation.
Multiple Parties Could Be At Fault
One of the most complicated aspects of truck accident claims is that multiple parties could be at fault, including:
- Truck drivers
- Trucking companies
- Cargo loading companies
- Mechanics
- Auto parts manufacturers
These entities may try to blame each other to try to get out of paying you fair compensation.
The Trucking Company Is Well Represented
One of the most important reasons you need an experienced truck accident attorney is that the trucking company has various parties looking out for its interests. It may have a whole legal team at its disposal, in addition to insurance companies that want to minimize payouts to protect their own profits. You need someone looking out for your interests during this critical time.
Lawyers Can Hire Expert Witnesses
To prove liability or damages in your truck accident claim, it may be necessary to hire expert witnesses, such as:
- Accident reconstruction experts
- Engineering and safety experts
- Mechanics
- Medical experts
