Text Box: Truck Accidents

Text Box: Semi-truck accidents are unique and need to be handled as such. Did you know that every 16 minutes a person is killed or injured in a truck accident?  Did you know that semi truck accidents continue to increase? The insurance company for the person who hit you may contact you in order to take your statement and find out the extent of your injuries. Often the insurance company will argue that you could not have been injured in the accident since you were in such a large vehicle. That's why you need an attorney who has experience in handling trucking accidents. It is important that you call The Friedman Law Firm before you speak to the insurance company so we can protect your rights and ensure that you are compensated in full for your injuries. When you are injured in a semi-truck accident, it is important that you know your rights. Normally you will have a workers' compensation claim that will pay your medical bills and lost wages. (Please see the workers' compensation area of our site.) However, if someone else is at fault for the accident, then you also have a claim against them through their liability insurance company. If the person responsible for the accident did not have insurance, you may still be able to bring an uninsured motorists' claim, depending on the situation. We can tell you whether you have a workers' compensation claim, personal injury claim, or both. If you have both, we will contact the Bureau of Workers' Compensation (BWC) and the insurance company to process both claims. Your Pain And Suffering Due To A Truck Accident If you have a personal injury claim from your truck accident, part of the settlement of that claim will include compensation for the pain and suffering you endured as a result of your injuries. This aspect of your claim is more subjective than other areas of your claim. Therefore, the insurance company will want to pay you as little as possible for your pain and suffering. We will obtain the necessary documents and fight the insurance company to prove the extent of your pain and suffering. If you have a workers' compensation claim from the truck accident, you cannot receive an award for pain and suffering. However, we will process all of the awards you are entitled to for your workers' compensation claim. How should you handle trucking companies or their insurance company after a truck accident? You should immediately consult with an experienced truck accident lawyer. Truck companies have their own on going investigators and attorneys to dismiss liability. One of the worst decisions individuals can make is to negotiate directly with the truck company, insurance adjuster or their lawyers. Anything you say or sign may be held against you further down the road. The Friedman Law Firm works on a contingency basis. On your workers' compensation claim, our fee comes from an award that we obtain on your behalf. On your personal injury claim, our fee comes from the settlement with the insurance company. You do not owe use anything up front and you do not owe us anything if we are not able to obtain a recovery for you. Previous Truck Accident Cases Trust The Friedman Law Firm to represent you when you are injured in a semi-truck accident. We will process all claims that you are entitled to and ensure that you receive the full value of your claims. For instance, one of our clients was rear ended and severely injured in a trucking accident while working for a national trucking company. We obtained the allowance of the client's workers' compensation claim for his severe injuries so that he received compensation for his extensive time off of work and so that his medical bills were paid by the BWC. We also fought the insurance company for the person that hit our client and received the large award that he was entitled to for his serious injuries and pain and suffering.
