Tractor-Trailer Accidents
When a 75,000-plus-pound tractor-trailer rig collides with an average passenger car or truck, you can guess who comes out on the losing end.
But when it comes to making sure you are fairly represented after the accident, there are some steps you can take to make sure you’re as protected as possible.
Remember, a trucking company has many resources working for them, not for you. Risk management departments and investigators will be feverishly working with the company’s insurance agency—and usually not with your best interest in mind.
Tips for Dealing with Insurance
Start with these tips for dealing with insurance companies.
• If at all possible, call an experienced attorney who specializes in tractor-trailer accidents to join you at the scene of the accident. A complete investigation can be implemented right away.
• Also as soon as possible, contact your automobile insurance agent.
• Be aware of your insurance policy; you’ll want to be well-informed.
• Take detailed notes when you speak with insurance representatives. Write down names, titles and phone numbers.
• Don’t give written or recorded statements or sign any waivers, and don’t let an insurance company record your phone conversation without your attorney present.
