How Can a Kirkwood Truck Accident Attorney Help You Get Compensation?
Maximizing your compensation after a truck crash claim requires starting with identifying all potential defendants. Trucking companies often have more insurance than individual drivers and can be held responsible under vicarious liability laws that make employers responsible for the on-the-job actions of their workers.
At Drafahl Law Firm, we review your case carefully to identify everyone who could be held liable for your losses. We also offer guidance and support throughout your case from the aftermath of your accident until your claim is resolved. Our services include:
- Gathering evidence from the crash scene
- Finding skilled experts and investigators to testify about the cause of your crash and the extent of your loss
- Obtaining driver log books to try to prove a violation of hours-in-service rules, truck maintenance rules, or other regulations applicable to commercial vehicles as outlined by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration
- Interviewing witnesses to the crash
- Interfacing with trucking companies and their lawyers to negotiate a settlement
- Fighting for you in court to make a compelling case if you aren’t offered fair compensation during settlement negotiations
Contact A Kirkwood Truck Accident Lawyer
Remember, trucking companies often have their own team of investigators and lawyers whose job it is to try to pay you as little as possible. You need a trusted lawyer of your own who knows the law and who will fight to ensure you are fully paid for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and other damage the truck crash caused.
