Major trucking organizations are represented by some of the world’s largest insurance companies.

This is one of the most significant reasons why it is important to hire an attorney to represent your case if you have been involved in an accident with an 18-wheeler. Insurance companies make their money by denying and reducing as many claims as possible, so they are unlikely to take a victim’s side in the case of a collision with a semi-truck.

Additionally, these large trucking companies have their own legal teams that will attend the scene as soon as possible after a collision to decide how they want to frame the situation in whatever furthest reduces liability for their company.

However, truck accident attorneys know exactly what to expect from trucking companies and their legal and insurance teams; bringing an experienced truck accident attorney onto your case can level the playing field in regard to the litigation of your claim.

Truck accident attorneys have the necessary resources to take on a large insurance company.

Truck accident attorneys have experience dealing with these cases and can put a stop to any attempt by an insurance company to convince a victim out of the compensation they deserve. Certain evidence exists in a truck accident case which can be hard for the layperson to access; including data from the dash of the camera, records from the trucking company, and even video footage from local surveillance cameras. All of this information can be paramount to proving that negligence occurred on the part of the truck driver or trucking company, resulting in an injury-causing accident.

Accidents involving 18-wheelers tend to be severe due to the discrepancy between the size and weight of a tractor-trailer and a standard passenger vehicle; this makes it especially imperative that an accident victim receive the full compensation they are entitled to in order to pay for damages including medical bills, lost wages, and more.
