Alabama Semi Truck Accident: Trucking Company Insurance

Interstate trucking companies are required to have insurance to cover accidents in Alabama involving bodily injury and wrongful death. The insurance companies do whatever they can to pay accident victims the least amount possible. It is their job. Our job as attorneys is to get them to pay victims and their families full and adequate compensation for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, emotional distress and other damages.

One of the following insurance companies may be involved in your Alabama accident (this is a partial list):

Ace American Insurance Co.
Starr Indemnity & Liability Insurance Company
Protective Insurance Co.
Factory Mutual Insurance Company
National Interstate Insurance Company
ARCH Insurance Company
Zurich American Insurance Company
Liberty Mutual Fire Insurance Company
Gemini Insurance Company
General Insurance Company of America
Old Republic Insurance Co.
Discover Property and Casualty Insurance Co.
SAFECO Insurance Company of America
National Union Fire Ins. Co. of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania

If the semi truck driver was at fault, the insurance company may offer you a settlement. We highly recommend you speak to an experienced semi truck accident lawyer before you decide whether to accept the offer. Consultations are free.

Don't Talk to the Insurance or Trucking Companies after
Your Alabama Semi Truck Accident

As you probably know by now, the trucking company’s claims adjuster began to protect the trucking company’s interests right after your Alabama accident. The designated investigator has already started to collect evidence to defend or minimize the claim. In addition, the trucking company may attempt to steer you away from legal counsel, because trucking companies know that if you have a personal injury semi truck attorney, you are more likely to receive a larger settlement. We highly recommend that you do not discuss your commercial truck accident with anyone unless you have attorney representation, as anything you say may be used against you later.
