Why You Should Contact A Truck Accident Attorney Immediately After An Accident
Do you know the shocking number of trucking accidents happening on an annual basis in the U.S.? It’s nearly 500,000 with around 5,000 yearly resulting in death!
Even more astounding, the number of truck drivers, as well as their passengers, who die every year due to truck accidents is around 700.
Adding to this, the number of passengers in motor vehicles who die each year due to colliding with trucks is around 3,700.
Not only can a truck accident cause long-lasting physical and emotional trauma, but it can also put a major burden on your finances and leave permanent physical and mental damage.
The above stats emphasize how important it is, if you’ve been involved in an accident, to immediately find a trustworthy, skilled, and experienced truck accident attorney. Relying on the guidance and help from a skilled truck accident attorney, you can concentrate your energy on recovery.
Most truck accidents involve semi-trucks, tractor trailers, big rigs as well as other industrial vehicles. These cases require knowledgeable attorneys to handle them as they usually need voluminous evidence requiring expert analysis who have technical and knowhow of engineering, medicine, physics, or other specialties.
Over and above that, overlapping federal and state laws govern commercial truck operations, so it can be much more challenging than a typical motor vehicle accident. That’s why you need to pair up with a professional truck accident attorney.
What Can A Truck Accident Attorney Do for You?
An experienced lawyer will immediately begin working on gathering evidence for your case.
Simultaneously, they will work on preserving crucial data to help prove your claim. They can also help you find temporary replacement vehicles if necessary, as well as medical care.
