What makes tractor trailer accident claims more complex than other motor vehicle accidents?

The trucking industry is highly regulated. There are a variety of state and federal laws and regulations which govern trucking companies and how they operate on the roadways. Therefore, it is critical to retain the services of an attorney immediately.

Due to the volume and complexity of these laws and regulations, it is particularly important to consult an attorney with experience in handling these claims. Attempting to resolve one of these claims on your own is not advisable.

Trucking companies will often try to conceal problems and mistakes. Attorneys with experience handling these claims know how to reveal violations of laws and regulations and expose the negligence, and often even intentional misconduct, of these companies and their drivers.

Can I recover compensation through multiple insurance policies?

You may be entitled to a recovery under multiple policies of insurance provided by other insurance carriers, including your own, which may provide coverage applicable to your claim.
