Injured In A Truck Collision?
6 Step Process to Get Going
Because of their large size and greater weight, big trucks need more room to maneuver on the road. Drivers need more room to stop. Attempting to quickly maneuver a big truck can cause the trailer to jackknife, leading to even more serious loss of control. Not only that, when big trucks cause accidents, victims may suffer more serious injuries due to the truck’s weight and the lower level of protection offered by smaller vehicles. Did you suffer serious injuries in a truck accident? You may need a Nevada truck accident attorney to help fight on your behalf.
Seek Immediate Medical Assistance After The Truck Accident
After any kind of accident, the first thing you should do is to seek medical attention, even if you don’t think you have sustained any serious injuries. There exists a vast array of injuries that you may not notice, but a medical practitioner will. Once treated, remember to ask for a copy of your prescriptions and any treatment recommended by the doctor in order to better sustain your claim.
Request Or File A Police Report As Quickly As Possible
Because of the weight and mass of trucks, truck accidents lead to large amounts of property damage, increased bodily injury, and a higher chance of death than other types of collisions. It’s likely law enforcement showed up at your truck accident and completed a police report. If you didn’t speak with the police because you went to the hospital or they did not show up at the scene, Nevada law requires you to IMMEDIATELY file a police report whenever property damage, bodily injury, or death occurs.
Initiate A Free Consultation With A Personal Injury Attorney In Nevada
After a truck accident, you may wonder if a lawyer will prove themselves worth the investment—or if you can even afford one. At Benson & Bingham Accident Injury Lawyers, LLC, we start with a free consultation. We accept truck accident clients on a contingency fee basis. Oftentimes, we can help clients:
- Increase the amount of their settlement.
- Negotiate with insurance companies, freeing up their time.
- Avoid costly mistakes that could prevent them from getting the settlement that they deserve.
Determine a Fair Settlement For Your Injuries
Getting a fair settlement for a truck accident depends on many different factors, such as the severity and extent of your injuries, the extent of your material damages involving your vehicle or other personal belongings, the aspects involved in the accident and, of course, who was at fault. An experienced truck accident attorney in Nevada can help you get fair compensation.
Mediate & Negotiate To Resolve The Personal Injury Dispute
Most personal injury cases that involve motor vehicle accidents settle long before they go to court. Your lawyer will negotiate with the insurance company(s) who represent the truck driver, his employer, and/or third party to reach an agreement that provides you fair compensation for your injuries and losses related to the truck accident.
If You Cannot Settle, Take Your Car Accident Injury Case To Court
In some cases liability might not be clear and the defense might be unwilling to offer full and fair compensation. When settlement isn’t an option, our attorneys are skilled litigators who will aggressively fight for you in a Nevada court.
