You can expect our Rozek Law truck accident attorneys to conduct an in-depth review of the cause of your accident. Due to the fact that 18-wheeler accidents are more involved than other accidents, an experienced law firm that has successfully represented victims of commercial truck accidents is who you contact.
There are many contributing factors of an accident so we are able to identify precisely what caused a truck accident by recommending an independent investigation by traffic reconstruction experts. Our firm collaborates only with the best accident reconstruction experts we know to help clients get fully compensated by the insurance provider.
We will also get access to the cell phone records of the truck driver to determine whether the driver was not focused on the road at the time of the crash. Furthermore, we would analyze the driver logs and toll receipts to find out if the driver’s alertness was impaired due to fatigue. We also check out the truck’s maintenance records to see if the truck company had serviced the brakes and other components of the vehicle according to the schedule.
Since trucking companies are only required to keep maintenance records and driver logs for a certain period of time, hiring one of our lawyers immediately following the accident is essential. If you have been injured in a traffic crash with a large commercial truck or bus, the best thing for you to do is schedule a consultation with one of our firm’s lawyers.
After a serious accident occurs, you should expect the insurance company that represents the trucking company to call you. In some cases, the accident victim or their representative may have to deal with different insurance companies representing the truck driver, trucking company and the cargo shipper.
Just remember that the insurance adjuster’s job is to protect their company’s profits by minimizing the amount of funds the company pays out in claims. Some insurance companies may even assure the victim that an attorney is not necessary, but it’s in your best interest to have your own attorney represent you to avoid being taken advantage of.
