Important Questions ● Honest Answers
"What should I do if a representative from a trucking company or insurance company wants to talk to me after an accident?"
Immediately after being involved in a truck accident, you should consult with your lawyer. Trucking company representatives and insurance company agents will try to contact you and get you to negotiate directly with them in order to mitigate your claim and lower your amount of compensation. These representatives are skilled at negotiation and accident investigation and will try to persuade you to accept unsatisfactory resolutions, or will use things that you say or sign against you in the future.
These representatives and agents are employed to save their companies money. Do not take any chances in your case. Contact the Stapleton Law Office right away and protect your rights.
Dangers of Semi-Truck Accidents
There are plenty of reasons why a truck accident can occur and why it can be more devastating than an accident in a passenger vehicle. Trucks weigh much more and carry much more force than other motor vehicles and can do extraordinary amounts of damage to passengers involved in accidents.
Accidents can occur for many reasons, including:
- Negligence on the part of the truck driver
- Aggressive driving
- Driver is over their allowed hours of service
- Failure to inspect tires, brakes, lights and other parts of their engines
- Driver fatigue
- Cellular phone or computer use
- Failure to use blind spot mirrors or other helpful equipment
- Speeding or breaking other traffic laws
