WAIVING YOUR CLAIMS

A truck accident is often a tragic, fatal event involving pedestrians, bystanders, or smaller vehicles. Due to the sheer size and weight of trucks, a truck accident has the highest number of fatalities and causes the most serious of injuries among all types of vehicular accidents.

Given the high probability of injuries and deaths in a truck accident, it will always involve some form of lawsuit. If you have been the injured party in a truck accident it is best to consult with a truck accident attorney before entering into any form of settlement or compromise with the truck company.

Truck companies are experienced at handling a trucking accident because it is in their best interest to be able to do so. Truck companies involved in a truck accident will try to avoid a costly litigation by trying to settle with you upfront. They will offer a cash payout in exchange for your releasing all claims for liability.

Under these circumstances, it is better to have a truck accident attorney to advice you whether you should settle or not. Truck accident lawyers are specialists in these types of cases and they should be able to tell you if the amount being offered to you is good enough or too low for what you have gone through.

AN UNNECESSARY MISFORTUNE

Though it is understandable that your first instinct is to settle the case and move on, make sure that you are not getting the raw end of the deal. Often truck companies are very eager to pay you a cash settlement because they know that when your case goes to trial, the jury will award you with so much more.

A truck accident is misfortune that nobody wants to happen. However, the truth is that most truck accidents and other vehicular accidents are caused by negligence and thus, are highly preventable. Those behind the wheel should always respect the road and the lives that are passing by.
