If you were seriously injured in a commercial vehicle accident, you are probably wondering how you will recover—both physically and financially. To file a claim and receive compensation, you should contact an experienced attorney right away. Here are the benefits of hiring a truck accident lawyer in Western New York.

Benefits of Hiring a Truck Accident Lawyer

To help prevent
trucking accidents, professional truck drivers must adhere to specific federal,
state and local rules and regulations. Unfortunately, the industry is notorious
for bypassing these laws and regulations. Truck drivers are often pressured to work
long hours without sufficient sleeping breaks, and unsafe equipment is used
without proper maintenance. These accidents may be caused by numerous other
factors, including driver drug/alcohol use, distracted driving, or improper
Commercial Driver’s License training.

Benefits of Hiring a Truck Accident Lawyer

A trucking company
or truck driver’s negligence puts innocent drivers in harm’s way. Yet, the
challenge for victims is proving the negligence of the driver or trucking
company. Major trucking companies are protected by aggressive legal departments
and million-dollar insurance policies. These companies often bully victims into
accepting undervalued settlements that don’t fully cover costs caused by their
emotional, physical and financial suffering. A qualified Hamburg truck accident
lawyer will work hard to help victims defend their rights and fight for
immediate compensation to pay for medical bills and lost wages. When you hire a
lawyer, your lawyer will investigate your accident, determine fault, and file
claims with insurance companies on your behalf.
