Frequently Asked Questions
Who can be held liable in a truck accident?+
Potentially the driver, trucking company, cargo loaders, maintenance providers, and manufacturers of defective parts. An attorney can identify all responsible parties.
Are truck accident cases different from car accidents?+
Yes. They often involve federal FMCSA regulations, larger insurance policies, and more severe injuries. Experienced trucking attorneys know how to navigate these complexities.
Should I speak with the trucking company's insurer?+
It is wise to consult an attorney first. Insurers may try to settle quickly for less than your claim is worth.
