How do I deal with a trucking company or their insurance carriers after a truck accident?

One thing you have to know is that you are not negotiating on level ground when dealing with a trucking company after an accident. Most trucking companies are highly skilled at truck accident investigations and claims. These adjusters represent the truck company, not you. Do not give them any type statements or sign any releases for medical records or employment records. Often the medical release allows the adjuster to talk to the doctors without you or your representative being present. Truck companies have accident investigators that are on call and dispatched to the scene of the crash as soon as the trucking company learns there has been an accident. Further, while the families of the accident victims are tending to medical care, rehabilitative therapies, or funeral arraignments, the trucking company is investigating the accident and setting up their defense. This is why the victims of truck accidents need to have a team of investigators on their side, fighting for their rights.  more
