Recovering Truck Accident Damages | Speaking to the Truck’s Insurance Company

At times, I have clients that come in and they have already been speaking to the truck’s insurance company or the trucking company’s insurance companies. It scares me because the information they are providing is not going to be used to help them. Typically, the trucking companies or the insurance companies are trying to gather information to use against the client, whether it be in terms of the liability of how the crash occurred, or with regard to the damages by saying they weren’t hurt after the crash. You should never, ever talk to the trucking company or insurance companies for the trucking companies. Go get a lawyer to help you with them. They’re professionals at what they do, and you need a professional to help you protect your rights.

That is because they should have done a background check on him before they gave him the truck. The trucking company is always responsible for the negligent acts of their drivers. Those are just two of potentially many more people that we can sue involved with the trucking company who can be held accountable and responsible for the negligent acts that caused the crash.
