SEMI TRUCK COLLISION - MINNESOTA SEMI TRUCK ACCIDENT LAWYER AND ATTORNEY

One of the most important things you can do after a semi truck collision is to hire an attorney to protect your legal rights. A good Minnesota truck accident lawyer can guide you through the legal process and make sure you get the money you need for:

  • medical expenses
  • lost earnings
  • pain and suffering
  • emotional suffering
  • other damages

Minnesota Semi-Truck Accident Lawyer - Obtaining Evidence
Semi truck accidents are different than other vehicle accidents because of the federal laws that govern the trucking industry. Federal regulations require that certain evidence must be maintained, but only for a limited amount of time. For example, the semi truck driver’s log may be destroyed after six months if a Minnesota semi truck accident lawyer does not obtain a court order or take other immediate action.

Minnesota Semi Truck Accident Lawyer - Insurance Companies
Over the road trucks must carry various levels of insurance coverage, depending on the nature of the materials in the truck. This can create a situation where the hauling and leasing companies may spend months or years arguing about which insurance company is responsible for compensating the victim in a semi truck liability case. You will need someone to represent you in this potentially long, drawn out process, as you deal with other issues in your life.

Minnesota Semi Truck Accident Lawyer - Trucking Company Negotiations
Semi truck Liability involves trucking companies. As you probably know by now, the trucking company’s claims adjuster began to protect the trucking company’s interests right after your 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 an attorney, you are more likely to receive a larger settlement. We highly recommend that you do not discuss your trucking accident with anyone unless you have attorney representation, as anything you say may be used against you later.
