The trucking company may call you soon after the accident to offer you a settlement. However, the settlements offered by trucking companies are usually much less than you could receive from an injury claim. They may also offer you a settlement while you are still receiving treatment for your injuries. If you accept a settlement offer before you have finished receiving treatment, you cannot ask the trucking company for more if the settlement you get is not enough to cover the rest of your treatment.
If the trucking company or their insurance provider reaches out to you with a settlement, do not sign or agree to anything until you speak with our semitruck accident lawyers. We can review the settlement and advise you on the best course of action.
