Truck drivers are on the road long hours, driving day and night, in all kinds of weather, on all kinds of roads and highways carrying large loads, some toxic or dangerous. Truck accidents can be deadly. Truckers are often cut off by cars which cause some of the most severe accidents. Other times, truck drivers are too tired to pay attention to the road and cause accidents. There are times when trucks should not be on the road due to the weather conditions, but since every mile driven means a higher paycheck, some truck drivers take a risk that becomes a choice between life and death or serious permanent injuries.

The first thing to do if you were injured in a truck accident is go to urgent care or the emergency room to get checked out. Then call a personal injury lawyer to find out what to do next about the motorcycle accident. One of our personal injury attorneys will save you from making serious mistakes that could jeopardize your case.

Trucking companies and their insurance representatives will send their representatives to question and intimidate the victim when they're most vulnerable. It is their opportunity when a person is unrepresented to gather information to protect themselves and from having to pay out more money in compensation to the victim of a trucking accident.

Insurance companies will sound friendly with you on the telephone, but they're not looking out for your interests. Insurance companies will be nice to you to gain your trust and lowball your settlement offer. They will try to offer you a small amount of money and have you sign a Release so you cannot ever sue the person who is insured with them. The risk of doing that is huge, because your symptoms may get worse, and injuries could end up being permanent. Sometimes it takes many months to discover nerve damage, a disk bulge on your spine, or hematoma that gets worse with time. Often it takes over a year to find out you will need an expensive surgery after the physical therapy, pain management, and medications that haven't worked. Do not rush to settle your case by yourself. The sooner you have a personal injury attorney help you the better off you will be if your case is accepted. We can help you open a claim with the insurance companies and protect your case from distortion by the insurance companies.

Every state has a limit on how long a person can wait before making a personal injury claim. California's personal injury statute of limitations is two years from the date of injury. However if the case is against a government entity, the claim must be made within 6 months. In some cases when it concerns a minor the statute of limitation may be tolled, meaning extended.
