Virginia Semi Truck Personal Injury Accident:
Trucking Company Insurance

Interstate commercial trucking companies are required to meet or exceed minimum insurance coverage levels for personal injury and wrongful death accidents in Virginia. The insurance companies look for ways to minimize the compensation paid to accident victims. It is their job and how they maximize profits. 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 Virginia semi truck 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 ( texting, eating, sleeping, speeding, truck jackknifed, lost load), the insurance company may offer you a settlement. We highly recommend you speak to an experienced 18-wheeler accident lawyer before you decide whether to accept the offer. Consultations are free.
