How do I deal with a trucking company and its insurance carriers after a truck accident?
A. Many large trucking companies have teams of lawyers, accident reconstructionists and investigators ready at a moment’s notice to deploy to the scene of any serious injury or death accident involving one of their trucks. Their job is to mitigate and lessen the trucking company’s liability for the accident. That’s why it’s best to contact an attorney before you speak with your insurance company or the trucking company and their insurance carriers, because if you sign the wrong documents, you may unknowingly relinquish your rights or settle for less compensation than you are afforded.
