An experienced truck accident attorney will take the bulk of the burden off your shoulders. While you may be asked to provide paperwork, get treatment from recommended physicians, and potentially testify in court, your attorney will generally do the rest of the work for you, including:
Filing your claim with the relevant insurance companies.
Fielding communications from insurance representatives.
Obtaining physical copies of police reports and medical documentation.
Negotiating with opposing counsel.
Filing your case in court.
Drafting and opposing all legal paperwork.
Compiling evidence and formulating arguments.
Bring your case to trial and arguing your case in court.
While it is always up to you whether to pursue a claim, there is no reason to take legal action alone. Your chances of recovery and the amount you’re eligible to recover increase substantially with attorney representation. In addition, there is no fee unless your case succeeds, so hiring an attorney to handle your case is risk-free.
