Know Your Rights
Most large trucking companies are backed by lawyers and investigators that are commissioned to the scene of an accident involving one of their trucks to help mitigate liability. It’s best to contact an attorney that will be on your side before you speak with your insurance company or the trucking company and their insurance carriers.
Complex regulations are in place imposing strict standards for how trucking companies maintain and operate their vehicles, and how they train and supervise their drivers. Knowing your rights in the face of complex laws associated with these regulations is critical to successfully moving forward with a lawsuit.
