You need an experienced 18 wheeler accident attorney because the big trucking company has deep pockets and their insurance companies work for them – not you. Do not let a negligent trucker destroy your life.

Our 18 wheeler accident attorney firm sees collisions with big rigs resulting in life-altering changes that can ruin your family and your finances:

• Huge medical bills
• Devastating injury and death
• Lost income
• Mental and emotional suffering
• Unpaid household bills resulting from an inability to work

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that more than 74,000 people were hurt and 3,380 killed in smash ups with tractor trailers. Seventy-five percent of those injured were people inside other vehicles that collided with trucks.

An 18 wheeler accident attorney is aware that laws are being passed to keep motorists and truckers safer. Truckers are generally safety-conscious drivers. However, a lot can happen behind the wheel and behind the scenes:

• Truckers are not immune from the same carelessness that affects motorists: substance abuse, inattentiveness, and cell phone use (although that has been illegal since 2010).
• Truck drivers can be poorly trained or ill-equipped to handle hazardous road conditions.
• Some truck companies are driven by profit to place unreasonable demands on drivers, resulting in driver fatigue
• Cargo can be loaded improperly, resulting in uneven weight and truck instability.
• Truck companies delay maintenance to keep their vehicles on the road, possibly causing problems with tires, brakes and engines.

An 18 wheeler accident attorney will investigate the crash, help you navigate the maze of paperwork, and protect you from predatory insurance practices that can cheat you out of your right to seek fair compensation.

Insurance companies are businesses. They will try to get way with paying as little as possible in cases of injury and wrongful death. So it is very important that you refuse to sign paperwork offered by a trucker’s insurance until you talk to a lawyer. If serious injuries do not show up until later, you will have signed away your right to continued medical payments.

A knowledgeable 18 wheeler accident attorney also discourages you from talking to insurance companies in a recorded conversation. They might insist it is “for accuracy purposes” but the fact is they can use what you say – or don’t say – to their advantage. Most people are in serious shock after a collision and not thinking clearly. Do not risk allowing an insurance company to use that against you in court.
