It is important to keep in mind that with truck accidents it is highly beneficial to you to be represented by an experienced truck accident lawyer for your injury claim. Because the insurance policies for semi-trucks and commercial trucks often amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars, the insurance company will aggressively defend these cases and do whatever they can to limit their liability. Right after an accident, a good insurance adjuster for the at-fault driver will immediately go out and take photos, and get witness statements.
