Truck accident claims are often more likely to be deadly or to cause serious harm due to the fact trucks are so much bigger than other vehicles. They can leave victims facing substantial losses that the law says they have a right to recover. Unfortunately, large trucking companies and their insurers often don’t want to pay what’s required.

What a Truck Accident Lawyer Can Do To Help You
There are many reasons that truck accident claims are complicated, including the fact that vicarious liability laws often make trucking companies liable for losses. You need an attorney who is experienced with these types of claims. Drafahl Law Firm has the knowledge you need. Our attorneys can:
- Determine if Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations were violated, which creates a presumption of negligence.
- Assist in gathering data from the accident, including black box data from onboard computers which trucking companies may be reluctant to share
- Stand up to the insurers representing big trucking companies so they don’t try to pressure you into accepting less compensation than you deserve for serious losses
- Find expert witnesses and gather evidence to prove both the cause of your accident and the severity of your damages to maximize your chances of recovering full compensation
- Keep you informed as your case progresses so you aren’t left facing uncertainty as to when you’ll recover the compensation you need and deserve
- Pursue a claim in court when necessary if the trucking company and their insurer refuse to offer you fair compensation
In every truck accident claim, we collect legal fees only if we successfully recover compensation for you. Being incredibly large vehicles, trucks can be deadly in an accident. Contact Drafahl Law Firm’s University City wrongful death lawyers if a loved one suffered fatal injuries from a commercial vehicle.
