Dealing with Insurance Companies
Soon after a truck collision, victims or loved ones may be approached by representatives of the company who owns the truck involved in the crash. These representatives are usually looking out for the interests of their company, and may try to deny claims or offer a settlement consisting of a far lower amount than is deserved. These types of settlements often do not provide compensation for pain and suffering or future medical expenses. Our tractor-trailer accident lawyer in the Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, and Illinois area, advises victims of trucking accidents to contact an attorney as soon as possible after a collision.
It is imperative to discuss the situation with a skilled personal injury lawyer before talking to representatives of an opposing insurance company. Haas Law Offices, P.C. is a Des Moines, Iowa truck accident law firm. Fredd J. Haas is committed to fighting for the rights of victims and their loved ones in cases of devastating truck accidents. When accidents appear to have been caused by the negligence of truck drivers or the companies they work for, Fredd Haas will vigorously pursue compensation to recover the associated damages.
Receiving Fair Compensation
Commercial vehicles, including big rigs, tractor-trailers, and semi's are required by federal law to carry at least $750,000 of insurance to cover bodily injury and property damage. However, many insurance companies representing motor carriers will send their own teams of investigators to reconstruct the accident, detail evidence, and gather eyewitness accounts that will support their own theories of what caused the crash. Situations like these make it vital that accident victims and their loved ones contact an experienced tractor-trailer accident lawyer. Our Minnesota, Nebraska, Illinois, and Iowa-area attorney can help with insurance issues, including filing a claim and negotiating with representatives to pursue a fair and reasonable amount of compensation. This can include recovery for damages such as:
- Medical expenses (past and future)
- Lost wages (past and future)
- Pain and suffering
- Psychological therapy
