Semi Accident Information

Semi Accident Lawyer After a semi accident, insurance companies and trucking companies immediately contact the people injured in the accident and their families. If someone died, the insurance companies and trucking companies contact the family of the deceased. The goal of the insurance companies and the trucking companies is to limit their liability, i.e., they want to pay the victims and their families as little as possible. When injuries are involved, the family can feel hounded by the insurance claim adjusters and trucking company representatives.

If you have been in a semi accident, it is critical that you not talk to these insurance company and trucking company representatives. You have to report the accident to your insurance company, but even then, you should not say more than necessary.

Your best course of action is to immediately hire a semi accident lawyer. At PritzkerOlsen, P.A., we provide a protective barrier around our clients and their families by prohibiting trucking companies and insurance companies from contacting them directly. Everything goes through us.

At PritzkerOlsen, P.A., we take care of our clients. This means more than providing the highest-quality legal services using the latest technology. Our experience has been that families are extremely grateful for all of the services we provide our clients that they didn't expect us to provide, including but not limited to the following:

Help the victim find the best possible medical care and make sure that medical reports get to the right people
Help the family deal with bills, collection agencies, social security, etc.
When needed, help the family establish a trust to provide for the future needs of the victim

Victims and their families can feel overwhelmed after a semi accident. We are here to help and to recover full compensation for injuries and death.
