Big Rig Truck Accidents

Many individuals realize that an accident with a big rig will often result in greater damage and more serious injuries. What is not as commonly known is that, in regards to the legal process, big rig crashes vary greatly. Approaching a big rig collision case or claim the same way as you would approach a regular car accident settlement will usually end in a less than favorable way for the victim. The methods used by the insurance company, and the tactics for proving the claim are very different. Without adequate legal assistance from an attorney that has previous experience in litigating big rig collision claims, you will probably stand to receive little to no damages from a wrongful death or personal injury lawsuit. However, our big rig accident lawyers have many years of experience and can work at getting you the compensation you deserve.

In a big rig accident, the liable parties can include any of the following:

• A defective part maker
• An outside party that loads cargo onto the big rig
• An outside route-planning business
• The truck driver’s employer
• The insurer of the employer
• An alcohol-serving establishment if the trucker was intoxicated
• Another party, such as another driver, that caused the big rig to have an accident

Big rigs are often covered by substantial commercial insurance policies that are normally worth about fifty times more than a typical car collision policy. With so much money at risk, big rig insurance carriers are extremely defensive in hopes of paying out as small of an amount as possible. They will attempt to skirt as much responsibility as possible by attempting to make the victim out to be the responsible individual. Our attorneys are equally aggressive and experienced in these types of claims and know how to get you the amount of monetary compensation that is rightfully owed to you.
