Rhode Island Semi Truck Car Accident:
Trucking Company Insurance

Interstate trucking companies have to meet insurance requirements to cover accidents in Rhode Island involving personal injury and semi truck accident wrongful death. Insurance companies start immediately to minimize settlement payouts to accident victims. It is their job. Our job as attorneys is to get them to pay victims and their families deserved and full compensation for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, emotional distress and potentially other damages.

The insurance generally covers an accident with a car, motorcycle, bicycle, bus, van, SUV or other vehicle. 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 Rhode Island Semi Truck Car Accident

As you probably know by now, the trucking company’s claims adjuster began to protect the trucking company’s interests immediately after your Rhode Island accident involving a semi truck and your car or motorcycle. The accident investigator has already started gathering evidence to defend or reduce the amount of the claim. In addition, the trucking company may discourage you from seeking 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. Anything you say may be used against you.
