Why Do I Need A Lawyer?
When you are in a minor fender bender with another car, the damage is usually pretty light. You and the other party can swap insurance information and along with a police report the damage will be fixed with minimal hassle. However, that is not the case with a commercial truck.
When you are in an accident with an oil fracking truck, the damage, and bodily injury, is considerably higher. To compound matters, the trucking companies have aggressive lawyers that will fight to ensure that they are paying out as minimal of a claim as possible. You need someone that knows truck accident laws to help you fight back.
Insurance companies and fracking companies want to settle a claim as quickly as possible. This means that they will rush to get all of the evidence, figure out just how little they can pay out, and then try to settle right away. The reason is that the true extent of your injuries will not be known for several months. By rushing a settlement, these companies can avoid paying on future problems that arise. There is no need to rush to a settlement; you have the right to hire a semi truck accident attorney.
In an automobile accident it is usually pretty easy to discover who was at fault. In a trucking accident, especially when it happens in a more remote area where fracking wells are located, there may not be witnesses to describe the events. This makes it even more difficult for an individual to prove that the trucking company failed to exercise caution and as a result their inattention was the cause of your injuries. Hiring a fracking truck accident lawyer can help you track down the information on whether or not the driver was properly trained and insured as well as prove that your rights were violated.
Hiring a truck accident lawyer for your fracking truck accident can help you recover damages that you may not even realize. You know there is significant damage to your vehicle, and you have some medical expenses that need to be paid for. But you will also recover damages for lost wages, funeral expenses if there was a death, pain and suffering, as well as surgeries and physical therapy that may arise in the future as a result of the accident.
