Because semi-trucks often have significantly higher policy limits compared to a standard passenger vehicle, the insurance company will fight aggressively to minimize payout or deny a claim. A truck accident lawyer on our legal team will not back down and will handle all communication with the insurance company, pursuing every penny of compensation you’re owed. While we negotiate with the claims adjuster, we want you to focus on your recovery and moving on with your life.
At Child & Jackson Personal Injury Lawyers, our legal team works on a contingency fee basis. This means the accident victim does not have to pay any upfront costs. If a case is not successful, they will owe nothing. If a case is won, a truck accident attorney will subtract a small percentage of fees to cover the cost of legal services.
Parties that can be held liable after a truck accident include:
Your truck accident lawyer will conduct an in-depth accident investigation to identify all liable parties and hold them responsible for your accident-related damages.
You will have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit against the negligent party/parties. If you fail to file a lawsuit within this time frame, your case may be dismissed and you will be unable to recover compensation for economic and non-economic damages. When you hire a truck accident lawyer to handle your case, you can feel confident that all paperwork will be filed correctly and on time.
