Truck Accident Claims Process - What to Expect

If you decide to pursue a truck accident claim with our law firm, here is an overview of the process and what to expect:

Investigation Phase

The investigation phase involves critical evidence collection and analysis. We inspect the truck and equipment involved in the collision. Electronic data and black box records are downloaded to examine speeds, braking, and more details. Witnesses to the crash are interviewed for their accounts. Accident reconstruction and medical experts are retained to assess circumstances and injuries.

Demand Letter and Negotiations

Equipped with investigation findings, we submit a comprehensive demand letter to insurers that outlines claim damages. This commences negotiations where our attorneys deal directly with defense lawyers and insurance adjusters. We take an aggressive approach in these negotiations, continually evaluating evolving factors that impact overall claim value and liability.

Lawsuit Filing

If a fair settlement cannot be reached through the demand and negotiation process, the next step is filing a formal lawsuit. The detailed complaint filed outlines all pertinent counts where the defendants acted negligently and caused harm. After filing, defendants have an opportunity to accept or contest fault allegations.

Trial Preparation

In advance of trial, we bring our most seasoned trial specialists aboard to apply extra leverage if defendants remain stubbornly unreasonable. Extensive depositions are taken, querying defendants under oath and expert witnesses on all aspects of the case. All pre-trial motions are argued before the court during hearings. Thorough preparation continues until all evidence and testimony is ready for trial.

Settlement or Trial

The majority of truck injury claims resolve through settlements reached before reaching an actual civil trial. However, we fully prepare each case as if it is going to trial, willing to take cases to court if fair compensation remains unmet through negotiations.

Appeals Process

In those rare instances of unfavorable verdicts, valid legal grounds may exist to move the case into the appeals process. Our appellate team handles the appeals details on behalf of clients.
We guide injured victims through every phase of the claims process, leveraging our proven experience to maximize case resolutions. Contact us today to get started.
