Truck accident claims can be much more complex than standard auto accidents. Fortunately, a skilled attorney can identify all liable parties and hold them accountable for your expenses as well as your emotional and physical distress.

Being injured by an 18-wheeler or other commercial vehicle may cause you to have long-term injuries and substantial medical bills. If this happens, choose a truck accident attorney who knows the current laws and rules regarding this type of litigation.

3. Prove Your Case
Commercial accident claims aren’t as simple as they seem. Insurance companies will do everything in their power to avoid taking responsibility for the negligence of their client. Therefore, a lawyer is tasked with the duty of proving:
If awarded, damages will fall under economic or non-economic compensation.
Economic
Non-Economic
Skeptical about hiring legal counsel to represent you? You’re not the only one. When you choose Shapiro Law Team you’re trusting experienced lawyers to work toward a settlement, or go to trial, on your behalf.
Listed below are a few reasons why you should hire us to handle truck accident claims.
Commercial Business Can Bully You
An 18-wheeler weighs nearly 20 times the amount of a car, which is why the impact and injuries suffered are more severe than an auto collision. If you plan to sue the trucking company, you need knowledgeable and relentless litigation. Without a personal injury attorney, you’re doing yourself a serious injustice.
Don’t let a bigger company bully you into taking anything less than what you deserve. Commercial establishments have more than enough to properly compensate you for physical and emotional damages. Instead, they’ll spend their funds on representation that will bully you into settling for pennies on the dollar.
Insurance Will Low-Ball Compensation
Following an accident where the truck driver was at fault, the insurance company will conduct an investigation and propose an amount they think is sufficient. Even if the dollar amount seems like a lot, it isn’t. An initial offer is always much less than what they’re capable of paying. If you don’t have a skilled or qualified attorney, you’ll accept an offer that undervalues your current and future expenses.
Your Words May Be Misconstrued
After you’ve been in a truck accident, you’ll receive calls from insurance companies. This tactic is used to gather information that can be used against you.
Hire a truck accident lawyer to give you peace of mind during your recovery from a life-changing incident. We’ll bear the brunt of your problems and help you obtain justice for all wrong-doing.
Other Parties May Be Responsible
Aside from the truck driver, additional parties may have contributed to the accident. Proving fault requires thorough investigative research, but all liable parties should be held responsible. Their collective negligence contributed to your injuries, discomfort, and property damage.
Litigation Can Help With Non-Economic Damages
Your settlement shouldn’t just cover medical expenses. Truck accident lawsuits also include loss of past and future wages as well as emotional duress and poor quality of life. If you’re permanently disabled or a loved one has died from being in the accident, you’re entitled to much more than what covers your medical bills. Your life has been forever impacted and the settlement amount should reflect just that.
