Wilkes-Barre & Kingston Trucking Accident Lawyer
Recover medical bills, lost wages from missed work and pain and suffering
Injuries sustained as the result of a truck accident are often devastating and require complex, intense and on-going medical attention. Because this medical treatment is extremely costly, obtaining compensation from the responsible party or parties in a truck accident is imperative. Being faced with medical bills and supporting your family while you are unable to work can create a difficult and tenuous situation. Working with an attorney will ensure that you do not have to worry about your medical bills and that you will be fairly compensated for your injuries, and the time it takes to recover from them.
At Angela F. Stevens Law Firm we understand your pain and suffering, and how difficult being the victim of a truck accident injury can be. We help people get the money they deserve by taking a hands-on approach to every case. We do not settle for an accident report, rather we , conduct a detailed investigation into how and why your accident occurred. The causes of truck accidents aren't always black and white, and there is usually more to the story than the obvious fact that you were hit by a truck.
Multiple parties may be at fault
Why were you hit? Was the truck properly maintained? Were the truck's brakes working properly? Were the tires bald? If the truck was not properly cared for, the party responsible for maintenance may be at fault. What was the truck carrying? Was the cargo correctly loaded? Was the driver adequately trained? How many hours had the driver been driving at the time of the accident? Was the driver working off of an appropriate amount of rest and off-road time? These are just some of the questions we ask while conducting our inquiry into the accident.
Having a knowledgeable truck accident lawyer is important under any circumstance. Even if you don't think you are going to file a suit, and the insurance company seems to be offering a fair settlement, you should still retain a lawyer to protect your rights. It’s almost impossible for someone who is inexperienced in injury situations to understand how expensive on-going medical treatments can be. While your need for medical treatment may be on-going, the compensation you are initially offered by the insurance company almost certainly will not be. They will put together a settlement offer that may look large, but that’s only because you are not comparing that number to the years of medical treatments it’s meant to cover. You can be sure that the truck driver and the trucking company will be represented by a whole team of lawyers, and they may try to minimize your injuries or even blame you for the accident. I protect your rights and fight to get you what you are entitled to.
