The commercial vehicle’s insurance company will use their team of highly experienced lawyers, investigators and adjusters to defend themselves to ensure a beneficial outcome for the insurance company. They fight hard to reduce the value of your case any way they can. One way they do this is by examining the crash scene and your vehicle’s onboard computer to determine if they can attribute any fault for the crash on you. They use a multitude of traffic laws to find any small thing you may have done to contribute to the accident. This allows them to justify their lowball offers since they’ll plan to tell any potential jury of the traffic laws that were not properly followed and why they believe it caused or contributed to the accident. Their goal is always to pay you as little as possible.

The high price of commercial vehicle insurance comes with highly skilled professionals to defend the commercial vehicle companies. These highly skilled lawyers, investigators and adjusters should be combatted with a team focused exclusively on auto accident law.The insurance company’s team will quickly investigate the accident scene, police report and talk with witnesses. You may wonder why they’d do this. The answer is simple – to determine anything they believe you may have done to cause or contribute to the accident. They’ll use anything they can to lay any blame on you for the accident. Their job is to pay you as little as possible and this is one way they justify lowball offers.
Commercial vehicle crashes often involve extensive vehicle damage, serious injuries, and a list of potentially liable parties which include trucking companies and their powerful legal teams. Unfortunately, the more severe the injuries you’ve suffered, the harder you can expect the trucking to fight – because there is more money for them to lose. You’ve come to the right place for help.

The commercial vehicle’s auto insurance company may offer a quick and low settlement, but you should never accept any settlement offer until your doctors have fully explained the future injuries and medical treatment you can expect. You should also never resolve a case until speaking to an attorney – it’s always free to call us. If we don’t think you need an attorney, we’ll tell you. We don’t get involved in cases where we don’t think we can make a difference for the injured party.
