Understand that large trucking companies with dedicated legal representation employ most commercial truck drivers. This means that in the event of an accident and subsequent truck accident litigation, accident victims enter at an extreme disadvantage without their own legal expert advocating on their behalf.
The trucking companies are also experienced with truck accident litigation. They may have a team of investigators looking into the accident, hoping to find a way to pick apart the victims’ claims. In addition, insurance companies may get involved with their own agendas, which often do not align with the accident victims’ best interests.
This is why it is imperative that accident victims do not enter truck accident litigation without proper representation. An experienced truck accident lawyer, like those found at Ledger & Associates, will conduct an investigation to reveal the truth behind what occurred, and will present the evidence in a compelling way to ensure just compensation.
