When you sustain serious injuries in a semi truck accident, you may have bills that pile up quickly. Not only do you have medical bills, often substantial ones, to worry about, but you also find yourself missing out on time at work or dealing with other challenges related to your recovery, all of which can cause your financial difficulties to continue to mount. You may also want to put your semi truck accident behind you as soon as possible. Unfortunately, it can take considerable time to settle a semi truck accident claim. The investigation process for a semi truck accident can take considerably longer than the average car accident claim. Semi truck accidents often cause more damage, so the insurance company may fight harder to reduce compensation as much as possible. You can expect it to take several months to complete the full settlement process and get the compensation you deserve.
