Truck Accident Lawyer in Washington
Tractor trailer accidents can cause serious injury and even wrongful death to innocent drivers and passengers in other vehicles if the driver or trucking company has acted negligently. The experienced lawyers at D’Amore Law Group are available to provide you with representation and advice regarding Washington truck accident settlements.
Your attorney should be one of the first professionals you contact when you have been involved in a trucking accident. This page explains some of the reasons why you will want to obtain legal representation as soon as possible.
Preserving Evidence
The sooner you seek professional legal advice, the better. Your truck injury lawsuit may depend on important pieces of evidence that can be lost if the situation is not acted upon in a timely manner by a lawyer. Our experienced attorneys can help you collect and preserve the evidence you need for cases involving tractor trailer injuries.
Assisting With Investigation
When tractor trailer accidents occur, trucking companies will start to collect evidence almost immediately. You and your family are likely still shaken from the experience and had more pressing matters to deal with immediately following the accident, such as medical concerns. Always speak with a lawyer as soon as you are physically able to, and never admit any fault or wrongdoing to anyone. The only person you should talk to aside from your lawyer is the police officer on the scene. Investigators on the side of the trucking company will try to find any evidence to suggest that the accident was caused or contributed to by the driver of your vehicle, and this evidence can include any statements made by you or any other involved passengers.
Experience
Unlike relatively straightforward auto accidents which typically involve just the other driver and your corresponding insurance companies, trucking accidents can involve the driver, the freight company, and the vehicle manufacturer or safety supplier, as well as insurers. Dealing with all of these parties can be intimidating and time consuming. There are also many types of compensation you may be entitled to depending on the circumstances of the accident and the extent and nature of your injuries. A knowledgeable attorney can help you deal with these factors and with your trucking injury settlement.
