What to Know About Insurance Companies

Insurance adjusters represent the insurer's interests, not yours. They may contact you quickly after an incident to obtain statements or offer a fast settlement that does not reflect the full value of your claim. Common tactics include:

  • Deploying rapid-response teams to the accident scene to control the narrative
  • Destroying or withholding key evidence like logs and maintenance records
  • Pressuring fast settlements before attorneys are involved
  • Blaming the victim for the accident to shift liability

You are not required to speak with the other party's insurer without representation. Consulting an attorney before accepting any offer or giving any recorded statement is strongly advisable.

FAQ

Common Questions

Who can be held liable in a truck accident?
Potentially the truck driver, the trucking company, the cargo loader, the truck manufacturer or a parts supplier, and in some cases a maintenance contractor. Multiple parties may share liability. We investigate all potential defendants to maximize recovery.
How is a truck accident case different from a regular car accident case?
Commercial trucking cases involve federal and state regulations, complex corporate structures, multiple potential defendants, and evidence such as driver logs and black box data that must be preserved quickly. Early legal involvement is especially important to protect critical evidence.
