If you or a loved one gets injured in an accident
caused by a truck driver or trucking company, you
will want to know how you can secure compensation

process can be more complicated than traditional
car insurance claims.

truck accident attorneys want to discuss this
process and what you can do to ensure maximum
compensation.

Understanding this process

• The truck accident claims process is any effort
  used to obtain compensation for someone injured
  due to the negligence of a truck driver or
  trucking company. There are generally two ways
  that victims have to recover the compensation
  they are entitled to
• Through negotiations with the legally liable
  party or their insurance carrier.
• Through a personal injury lawsuit filed against
  the legally liable party.

The first step in this process for any truck
accident injury victim is to find a skilled
attorney with the experience and resources
necessary to conduct a thorough investigation and
exert pressure on the liable party. An attorney
will get to work immediately on this case by
Obtaining all evidence related to the incident,
including photo and video surveillance, accident
reports, eyewitness statements, and more.

Securing data from the trucks black box as
well as data related to the truckers hours of
service.

safety history as well as the safety and

Your Philadelphia truck accident attorney will
use all this information to build a case against
the liable party. Your attorney will obtain your
medical records and properly calculate your total
losses in order to negotiate a settlement that
covers all of your accident-related
expenses. Most truck accident cases are settled
out of court in an agreement with an insurance
carrier. However, if a fair settlement offer is
not made or if a claim is denied, your attorney
will file a personal injury lawsuit against the
liable parties on your behalf. According to the
Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, there
were more than 7,000 total heavy truck crashes in
the Commonwealth during the latest reporting year
of data available. According to PennDOT, many of
these incidents were caused by vehicle failure
and truck driver negligence.
