If you or a loved one has been involved in a truck accident, get the other driver’s insurance information, contact the police and call your insurance company. Make sure you get a copy of the police report, as it may be useful in a personal injury lawsuit.
Because of the nature of a tractor-trailer, there may be extenuating circumstances in the interpretation of the accident scene. Contact a personal injury law firm that has experience in handling truck accidents and other trucking claims. You may also be entitled to compensation if you or a loved one was involved in a truck accident. Depending on the circumstances – whether there was negligence involved or the damages were done intentionally, you may be entitled to punitive damages in addition to reimbursement for medical bills, a rental vehicle and loss of pay. Contact Ledger & Associates if you or a loved one has been involved in a truck accident. Ledger & Associates offers free consultations for those involved in truck accidents.
