Why You Need A Truck Accident Lawyer

David vs. Goliath

If you’ve been in an auto-accident, the first thing you’re wondering is your health and wellness. It’s important that you find a great auto-accident attorney whose goal is to help you receive maximum relief. However, if you’ve been in an automobile accident involving a semi-truck things become more complicated.

Due to different state and federal regulations concerning semi-trucks, murky liability theories, and the deep pockets of trucking companies, these cases can’t be treated the same as a normal car accident. You not only need to find a great auto-accident lawyer, you need one with truck accident expertise or access to a truck accident expert.

Matt Dolman outlines that there are many blind spots that lawyers have including the amount of hours truckers are allowed to drive, negligent claims including negligent maintenance, and having the money and relationships with truck experts that will track down all the information from the accident and apply that information to your case.

Stan Gipe also elaborates that in many cases, it is imperative that your representation is quick when looking for the truck's vehicle negligence or repairs that should have been made prior to the accident, information about the load, things that companies will rush and fix before a case is made.

You need someone who understands the nuances of truck accidents, has the resources and experience with these types of cases, and wants you to receive full compensation for your injuries…but what should you look for in a lawyer?

Despite all of the commercials and advertisements, it’s important to go with a firm that understands the nuances of these cases and puts you at the front of the line to receive compensation.
