Semi Accidents
Some of the most traumatic car accidents involve semis. Simply because of the weight of these vehicles, they can crush a passenger car and the damage they do is oftentimes far in excess of what any passenger vehicle could do to another passenger vehicle. These accidents can also be very complex as far as filing for damages is concerned.
Companies and Representation
One of the most difficult aspects about filing a lawsuit against a trucking company is that the trucking company will generally have legal representation readily available to them. Not only that, they generally have enough money to hire very good legal representation, on top of it. If you plan on suing a trucking company, you want to make certain that you have a good lawyer in your corner, as you can be certain that they are going to have a good lawyer in their corner.
Trucking companies will also attempt to offer a settlement out of court, in some cases. The settlements will usually be offered whether or not you have a lawyer. If you're offered a settlement and you do not yet have legal representation, it's imperative that you get compensation before you take the settlement. If you do have legal representation, you need to speak with your attorney before you take any settlement.
If you are injured by a semi driver, you should speak with an attorney right away. Trucking companies have very strict regulations that apply to the training the drivers have, the condition of their equipment and the conditions under which their employees work. All too often, drivers are on the road when they are tired and should not be behind the wheel. Even when they are not, the trucking company or the semi driver themselves may be liable for the damages that they caused you and you may be able to get compensation by taking them to court, provided you have a good attorney.
