New Albany Truck Accident Lawyer

“Settlements from trucking accidents are some of the biggest settlements you will get. But again, in order to get a settlement at all, you need to call a law firm, preferably us, immediately after the accident, so we can begin to work and investigate that accident and prove your case. The trucking company is there already immediately taking measurements, taking witness statements. You need a lawyer there immediately to do the same thing because that’s the first thing, is who’s at fault. And if you wait three to six months or even two weeks, those skid marks may be gone. It may be impossible to measure. The evidence is degraded and not as valuable as it was the first day or two.

Secondly, what drives up a settlement in a trucking accident are the damages. And since you’re involved in an accident with an 18-wheeler, you’re likely to have serious injuries, and you may have paralysis, you may have a bad back, bad neck, all kinds of things, but it’s impossible to say what the average settlement is in a trucking accident. But I can tell you, trucking accidents generally pay a lot more compensation because, number one, you’ll probably injure a lot worse than in a car wreck, and number two, trucking companies have lots of money to pay, whereas people driving around town may not even have insurance. So give us a call, let us figure all that out for you.” – Nick Stein
