Even if you think you are at fault, you could still be a victim of negligence and should consult with a reputable truck accident lawyer. Possible negligence includes ice or snow covered roads, defects on the road surface, improper road design or sightline obstructions. Lawsuits against cities and municipalities require that notice of a pending lawsuit be submitted within 10 days following the accident date. It is therefore urgent that you consult with a law firm that will take the necessary steps to protect your rights.
