After an accident with a semi-truck, you may be faced with a long recovery and no income if you’re unable to work due to your injuries. With steep ongoing medical bills and lost wages, you need to take legal action as soon as possible. At the Hines Law Firm, our truck accident lawyers can help you pursue the compensation you deserve due to an accident that was caused by a negligent truck driver.
At the Hines Law Firm, our truck accident attorneys will help by:
After your accident, the truck driver’s insurance provider may try to contact you, asking to hear your side of the story and requesting to record your statement. During this conversation, they may ask questions that are meant to confuse you, hoping you will say something that could harm your claim. They may also offer a settlement during this time. These settlements are never enough to cover the true cost of your accident-related losses. If you don’t accept this offer, they may become aggressive and call you several times a day, giving you a deadline to accept the settlement and claiming it’s the only compensation you’ll get. Instead of dealing with the insurance company, contact a truck accident attorney.
At the Hines Law Firm, a truck accident lawyer on our legal team is familiar with the tactics an insurance company will use to deny a claim or minimize payout. We will not back down or be intimidated. We will handle all communication with the insurance company, to protect your claim and your rights. If the insurance company refuses to make a reasonable settlement offer, we will be prepared to file a lawsuit on your behalf and represent you in court. Fortunately, most truck accident claims are settled out of court. An insurance company is often more willing to negotiate once a lawsuit has been filed.
