More than 10 percent of all traffic deaths each year are caused by 18-wheelers.
This is why every major trucking company has 24-hour response teams. If one of their big rigs is involved in a truck wreck, these companies can react quickly. This means that within 24-48 hours after an accident, the trucking company will know what happened— and that’s bad news if you or your loved one was hurt in a truck wreck.
Here’s why it’s bad news: If the trucking company knows exactly what happened, you can be sure that the company’s lawyers know what happened. And, it the company seems in any way at fault — because the driver had been pushed to drive too many miles in one day or because the company did a poor job maintaining the rig, or any number of faults — the trucking company’s lawyers have had a head start building a case against you.
If you’ve been injured in a truck accident, you need someone on your side, someone who really understands vehicle accident law. And, you need to get that person involved in the case as quickly as possible.
